Twitter tutorials, stage 5: find people to follow manually
This article is part of a series announced here.
To find people to follow, you need to use the search function of Twitter. Most people would simply make plain basic searches, like this:
Killer Video Squeeze Pages How-To
This how-to will show you how to install a Killer Video Squeeze Page from top to bottom. Of course we're assuming here that you already have access to the 25 squeeze pages, if not you can order here. If you're looking for my review of this service, you will find it here.
What is required to get started with killer video squeeze pages?
To get started you will need:
- Your own domain name and hosting. They won't host your squeeze pages for you, but actually that's where this system is far better than others that I have tried (besides the fact that the pages are really stunning...): you will have complete control over your squeeze pages. You will receive all the sources, the Photoshop files, even the movie in .mov format... You can do any modification you like, put it anywhere you like!
- An account with Aweber, one of these auto-responder systems I was talking about. The first month costs only $1 and you can stop at any time so there's really no reason not to give it a try!
- An FTP client to upload the files. I use the excellent (and free) FileZilla but there are others.
The procedure is clearly explained in one of their videos which you can see on their home page: you just upload the files by FTP then using your browser, load the page you've just uploaded. Their installer will show up (see below), and ask you your ClickBank ID, and a couple of questions about your Aweber list that you have set up. Then it'll give you all the follow-up e-mails, already filled with your name and affiliate link (link that their software cloaks by the way! You do not have to worry about having that ugly ClickBank link in your e-mails!), that you just have to copy and paste in your Aweber account. Within 5 minutes after uploading the files, you'll be good to go!
Twitter tutorials, stage 1: choose the name that will make your success!
This article is part of a series announced here.
When signing up on Twitter you will have to choose a user name, which will be used when people talk to you or about you. Choose it wisely, your username must reflect your personal and professional identity.
The 4 criterias of a successful username are:
- Short.
- Easy to remember.
- Explicit.
- Attractive.

Above is the second signup step, which you get to after filling up the first form that is shown at the top of this article. This is where you will actually set your user name. Here, I have chosen a combination made out of parts of my real name, and I have played with the upper case / lower case letters to make it stand out. Since it matches my real name people should easily understand.
If the user name you wanted is already taken, an easy trick is to add something at the beginning or at the end, for example add "Ltd" at the end this will make you look like a company. There are other variations you could try, this is only an example, so use your imagination!
Remember that you are creating your own "brand" in order to be seen and recognized ! If you want to do business on Twitter people must take you seriously. Also, think that your username will be included in every tweet that's addressed to you, it's called an @reply and counts towards the limit of 140 characters. So the shorter your name, the more room will be left for people to talk both to you and about you!
In the next tutorials you will learn how to create a successful profile and bio, including how to do custom backgrounds, then we will talk about actually using Twitter both manually and with some specialized tools. Sign up here (for free) if you are not a member yet, so you can access those members-only tutorials!
A series of Twitter tutorials to be posted
Using Twitter the right way can make your business skyrocket! So starting from tomorrow I will start posting a series of Twitter tutorials.
On Twitter, you can send short messages of 140 characters maximum (something very similar to what you'd do with your phone sending SMS). The objective is to follow people and be followed yourself. Your followers will see your tweets and possibly re-tweet them to their own followers which then gives you even more exposure. This can only be achieved by doing things seriously or you will get nowhere.
In a few minutes, your are going to create an efficient profile in order to:
- Be noticed,
- Become part of a network composed of experts and entrepreneurs in your niche,
- Have successful exchanges with these people.

Introduction to OpenOffice Writer, part 1
If you're trying to make money online, then you most certainly know the importance of building a list. One way to have people sign up for your newsletter, is to offer them free guides. And in order to write free guides efficiently you need to be relatively good with your word processor.
In this series of tutorials, you will learn the basics of OpenOffice / LibreOffice Writer (which you can download for free at http://www.libreoffice.org/), so you can make your own e-books easily. Part 1 will be accessible publicly, the other parts will be published in a free e-book reserved to the members of this site (membership is free too). So sign up now so you can be informed when the e-book is made available!
1) Let's move some bad habits out of the way
One of the things you need to do right now, is to get rid of some bad habits you probably have:
- Most people would use the [TAB] key or worst the [SPACE] key repeatedly to move something to the right. This is long, complicated, and very imprecise! There are better ways to do this.
- Most people would also press the [RETURN] key repeatedly in order to create a new page.
- Applying the same formatting 20 times in 20 different places is long and tedious, especially when you could be using styles!
So we'll start with these three common bad habits and then we will realize a complete e-book, with chapters, sections, tables, pictures, and lists. This is the best way to learn the basics.
