7 Reasons to Repurpose Twitter Articles
If you are into Article Marketing and are not using Twitter to repurpose your articles, you are missing out on a flood of good stuff.
With that notion in mind, here are the Top 7 Reasons to Repurpose Your Articles on Twitter
1. Extends Your Reach – Extending your reach means to get your marketing message and influence in front of as many eyes as possible. When you publicize your articles on Twitter, you are not only reaching those who are following you, you are also reaching everyone that follows each person who follows you – your reach rapidly multiplies.
2. It’s Helpful – When you are having conversations there and you see a question where one of your articles could help, you are being very helpful to someone when you refer them to you article(s). How’s that for upping the “know, like and trust” factor.
3. Ups Your Expert Status – Mentioning your articles and using them to answer questions increases your expert status in the eyes of the public. Because this is such a new frontier, there is still time for most of you to get in and establish your expert territory in your niche.
4. It’s Social – One of the rules in Social Marketing is to be 80% Social and 20% Marketing. When you are being helpful with your articles, you are being social while you are marketing.
5. Immediate Response – In many ways Twitter is like Mass Instant Messaging – you get an instant response from many people. And, many internet marketers are beginning to notice that their Twitter list is many times more responsive than their email list.
6. Multiple Opportunities – If you send out more than one message a day to your email list, you are going to get people unsubscribing in droves. Here you can send out multiple 140 character marketing messages in one day. In fact, I encourage you to, because your followers are on at different times of the day.
7. It’s Automatic - You can set up your EzineArticles.com account to automatically repurpose your brand new articles onto Twitter. Just log in to your EzineArticles.com account, go to Profile Manager, then Edit Author Bio, then enter your User Name and Pass Word from Twitter. When this article is publishing, it will automatically show up on Twitter without me lifting a finger.
Bonus Tip – As I began to write this article, I sent out a message on Twitter telling everyone I was working on this article and to watch for it. I immediately got back responses from folks asking me to be sure to let them know when it was out. You can do the same thing.

One tip I’ll be teaching soon is “salting” the blog jar in which the author is the Comment #1.
Jeff, I beat you to the punch with this comment!
When readers see ONE or more comments, they comment more often :-)

Hi Alex,
I’ve been a Twitter follower and loyal student for quite some time now. I agree with these solid tips, but would add that an important part of using Twitter is to use it strategically.
There are many people who are letting Twitter consume their lives and monopolize their time, and it’s just one tool in a complete online Marketing arsenal (although a white hot one).

I’ve found Twitter to be an EXCELLENT way to promote Teleseminars as well. In fact, on a recent event, we had so many people “tweeting” during the call, dozens of additional people registered and joined the call as it was happening, just because there was so much “buzz” about it on Twitter.
Yes, Twitter is a very powerful marketing and communication tool!

Thank You Alex…Way to spread the word and wisdom! Thanks for your expertise!
Great points. Speaking specifically of EzineArticles, another great thing they are doing to “pay it forward” to their contributors is their list of Expert Authors who are on Twitter.
This kind of brings it full circle. Now those who find you on EzineArticles can follow you on Twitter also. Very cool

What I’ve experienced is Twitter is the “secret sauce” that can really make your entire social networking strategy just rock! There are a lot of good things you can do, but if you’re not using Twitter, you’re seriously missing out.
I just completed you Teleseminar Secrets Course and used Twitter heavily to get known and to promote my teleclass. I had a very successful class and have drawn many people to my blog http://www.zeecoachmarketer.com
You are right about joining a conversation and adding to it while mentioning a blog post that is related. This has drawn traffic to my blog as well. I also tweet my articles on line at a time as I learned from Connie Ragen Green.

Great tips, Jeff. You can also use twitter to help you write your articles by asking for input from your followers and by researching what people are talking about in real time at http://www.search.twitter.com.

Where is the fine line between Tweeting and spamming?
Is this just for people who know what they are doing? I have no idea what I am doing but have been trying to decide who to go with as a mentor. Soooo many people and soooo many claims.
I’ll follow you if you follow me. @beingthebest
Social media is a two way street. It’s called interactive for a reason. I have much to learn from you, but you may have something I can show you.
i love the twitter mindset-get it now
Great little article. Thanks for sharing.
I think this also reaffirms advice I’ve been giving folks who ask me (or sometimes even challenge me) regarding social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook.
The people who truly win are the ones who are great content creators first and then use social networking as one of their tools. That’s opposed to the people who are spending a ton of time on something like Twitter basically shouting “Look at Me! Look at Me!” without contributing any valuable content.
I’m new to Twitter, but I love the integration to EzineArticles.com. Focus on content creation through article marketing and blogging, etc. and then you can focus on being more social on Twitter because that stuff’s already being tweeted.
Thanks again for the common sense article!

As the old Genesis song says “If you follow me, I will follow you.”
I’ve been using Twitter 2 weeks and I’ve already lined up a JV opportunity I wouldn’t have otherwise just by paying attention and taking action. (G.U.T.S. right, Jeff?) Now to get some articles done… and on Twitter!

This was wonderful and full of helpful tips.
Question: Do you ever mix in hashtags with these post to blend your articals into conversations?

Thanks for the resources and information. Now I have more reasons to tweet more. :)
Great Article, Jeff. Haven’t started Article Marketing yet, but will be this coming week. Will be following a lot of your advice.
Anybody not using Twitter is really missing out on opportunity. Twitter is fascinating and wonderful all at the same time.
Hi Alex,
As always you are the leader into the maze of things. Love Twitter, but haven’t taken advantage of the gifts there. Thank you—again:)
Jeannie
Alex, as a leader in this industry, thank you for all you are doing to educate. The “Top 7 Reasons” along with the above following Comments gave helpful advice on how to better market with Twitter. Keep up the good work.
Penelope Cox
It really is easier than it seems at first. And, for whatever reason, seven’s a magic number. Always good stuff from Jeff (and from Alex).
“Repurposing” is a “no-brainer”. Don’t waste a single piece of information. At Wendy’s Restaurant, overdone hamburger meat becomes chili meat. It works!
Thanks Alex & Jeff,
This post finally gives a simple explanation of how ANYONE, including those of us NOT in the Internet Marketing niche, can utilize Twitter effectively.
Thanks for simplifying,

I am still amazed at the automatic features of Twitter – that automatically announce my ezine articles and blog articles without me having to do any additional work. Wow!
Thanks Jeff.

Once again, have to tell ya Jeff You Rock! you’re always a hugely encouraging voice lighting the way and being an Awesome example. It’s Always Win-Win with Jeff Herring & Alex Mandossian.
Alex,
Were do we draw the line between enough and too many followers? Is there a critical mass after which people say, “How can he or she ever follow that many people?”
Now I know people simply follow some of the “gurus,” and that’s to be expected. But when we purchase software to “artificially” bump our numbers…isn’t that somehow phony?
I really want to know. I try to contact every person on my list once a week, people also on my DM list. That could never be done with thousands of followers.
So, what do you suggest, propose, think about this? Thanks!
John Zajaros
You can learn much about Twitter by following the leaders and THEN “adding your own personal touches!”

Great tips Jeff (and Alex)! I also use Facebook for my small business and add a note. Not too automatic but still incredibly effective!

Still a twitter newby but getting the hang of it. I am sure there are a whole host of ways of using it more effectively and look forward to hearing more!
So basically, just send out a tweet telling people about the new article, or break the article down into twitter chunks?
I like the way ezinearticles.com automatically posts to twitter. I learned from Jeff to mention articles in tweets before and after submitting, even though they’ll get automatically mentioned again. Thanks to Jeff and Alex,I’m now coming out with a new repurposed program of home study courses, CDs, Ebooks and other information products. Look for them at http://www.lifetransformationsecrets.com. Thank you!
Hi Alex,
Thanks for positing Jeff’s article. I haven’t been doing this and will start today! I just bought Joel Comm’s book “Twitter Power” Too.
I’ve connected with a lot of people on Twitter that have been a great help with my business and have attracted people to my getdialngfordollars.com webinar workshops. It’s such an easy tool to use!
By the way, if you need someone to do the physical work of repurposing teleseminar content into articles, videos and short podcasts I highly recommend Caleb Scoville at http://www.northbankaudio.com He’s amazing! :-)

Twitter is the best way to make connections that I’ve seen so far on the internet. You learn about about yourself and others using twitter.
First you learn to offer value. Also when I give a helpful tip on twitter and receive a question it’s my opportunity to further help the individual who asked the question and other by writing an article offering a solution.
So for me using twitter essentially helps me to find out what my target market needs and give them the options and solutions.
It’s a great way to make new friends.

Hi Jeff,
Great article. I also read other tips you had. I will be using the strategies you suggested. You just removed my blockage.
I am on face book, heading for twitter this week.
Thanks for conributing the millions of dollars I am going to make just from your article!

Jeff,
I haven’t tweeted yet but intend to do so based upon your article and the responses.

Great tips there Alex. I also liked the “salting” of the blog jar… something I shall put into practice ASAP. ;)

Hi Alex,
Good Post…. I actually took the Article Marketing Secrets course that was an affiliate purchase through you…. It was a great course…. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I would purchase again for the support with answering questions is not of good value due to a never response to the questions….
Regards,
Philip J. Mutrie
Hi Philip!
Thank you for your post and for your kind comments about the Article Writing and Marketing Secrets TeleCourse.
As I answer all the questions that come in from all my telecourses, if you still have a question lingering from almost a year ago, I would be happy to answer it, either here in this blog post, on my blog at http://www.JeffHerring.com – or you can email at Jeff@JeffHerring.com
Hope you have G*U*T*S and you Go Use This Stuff!
Jeff
Hi,
Thanks for this. I signed up for twitter ages ago but haven’t been using it much. The tip on linking it to my ezine article updates is golden!
Thanks so much,
Jen P.
Great advice as always, Alex. Article marketing is a key way to get online attention and high quality links back to your website. — If done right.
Hi IrmaLouise:
Tweeting links from your articles and blog entries is a way of giving your community quality content. As long as the content you are providing is not one big sales pitch and you provide educational and helpful content there is a great chance it will be well accepted.
Overall, tweeting should be an engaging process.

I have written more than 100 articles. But it never occurred to me to be so innovative. I really liked your idea of announcing the article even while writing the article.
Thank you for posting this article , it is very informative and offers new insights in developing working relationships with your followers and like minded people .
Some very good points!
I’m quite new with Twitter … but can already see the potential. Twitter is not widely used in Denmark yet, but this will change during the next year.
A lot of my SEO collegues in UK and US are already using Twitter to market blogs and products, and it seems to work great. The viral effekt of Twitter is fantastic.
So I better get started reposting my blog articles on Twitter.
Great article and Twitter is a way to tap into different target markets. However, I feel that business’s aren’t maximizing the potential of Twitter via marketing. How do you feel about that? Check out my social media blog at http://blog.biznetis.net
