Are you on twitter.com? I would be surprised if you are an online marketer and not yet opened a twitter account. Twitter marketing is one of the simplest ways to build your network of customers, partners and prospects.

Basically, twitter is used for keeping in touch with friends and family by tweeting about what you are doing right now. But it also has a great potential for marketing. There are many applications that have sprung up around twitter that can enhance your marketing efforts.

- Tweetergetter: This is akin to a referral system. You join this and refer your friends to join. You can get as many as 15625 twitter followers within a month and that too for free. It is unbelievable but it works. All you need to do is to go to the site tweetergetter.com and follow the instructions therein.

- Tweetdeck: This neat little application is a personal browser for twitter fans. It shows you everything you want to see all at once. When you have hundreds of friends and followers, you need to organize your tweeting activities carefully. This application helps you to do just that.

- Tweetmanager: You can use this application for many things. You can schedule to send tweets whenever you want. You can reply to people who send you tweets with a canned response. And if you have multiple twitter accounts, you can connect them and manage all tweets from a single interface.

- Tweetlater: This is another useful application. You can use this to automatically follow all those who follow you. You can send welcome messages to new followers that typically go like - Thanks for following me... and then give away some information for free. You can send bulk tweets to all your friends or followers.

- Twitter friend adder: There are many of these and you can select any one. Basically, these tools allow you to find friends based on keywords. This is important since you can select those people which match your target audience profile.

All these applications are really great for twitter marketing. However, you must avoid spamming. When you keep sending out your site link in every other tweet, it is known as spam and it will not benefit your business. It might also create a bad reputation for you as a spammer and you might lose your followers.

Another idea is to create additional twitter accounts to multiply your followers. If you have 500 followers in a month from one account, you can get 5000 followers from 10 accounts. Isn't that wonderful?
