3 Weird Ways Lady Gaga is Like a Twitter Superaffiliate

by Puppet Master

The Grammy’s are upon us once again.

Of all the nominees in the running, the one that has caught my attention the most is Lady Gaga.

In case you haven’t heard of the eccentric entertainer, you probably been living under a rock. In fact, in the news recently there was outrage over the fact Lady Gaga couldn’t be nominated in the Best New Artist category due to a technicality.

Having said that however, she had a decent haul of 5 nominations, including Record and Album of the Year. Yet what’s even more remarkable is how rapidly  she rose to fame in such a quick time. Within the space of a year she has been hailed as the next Madonna and is on track to becoming one of the fastest rising stars of all time.

This reminds me a lot about affiliate marketing on Twitter, strangely enough. For one thing, I believe Lady Gaga is one sharp marketing genius. But here’s the other 3 quick explanations of the similarity between Lady Gaga and Twitter affiliate marketing:

1) Your Tweets Must Look Like Lady Gaga’s Outrageous Costumes

Love her or hate her, you definitely can’t forget those crazy fashion statements courtesy of the Haus of Gaga. And that’s in a existing crowd of extreme fashionistas.  In the same manner, your tweets need to stand out in the sea of noise. Promo and advertising tweets are just going to be plain ignored in a realm where every spammer has taken advantage of Twitter’s ease of registration and has tweeted the heck out of your already overwhelmed prospects.

2) Your Links must Sound Like Lady Gaga’s Catchy Songs

To me, Poker Face is one of the catchiest songs of the year. And that single epitomizes the rest of Lady Gaga’s catalog. Great dance songs that add color to people’s drab lives. Your links must do the same thing. It must add value and flavor to your follower’s life. People are not going to stick around to click on your promotions unless your Dell, Zappos or something like that. Give them a reason to stay by consistently tweeting cool inks.

3) Your Promotions Must Feel Like Lady Gaga’s Live Performances

Have you ever seen Lady Gaga’s performance? Her spectacular theatrics are more performance art than anything resembling a conventional concert. In the same manner, you got to adopt the same attitude when it comes to your promotions. Your affiliate marketing efforts cannot be the same as anyone else, or else it gets treated with indifference. How come 2 affiliate marketers can tweet the same promotion and one makes 10 times more? The difference lies in the secret sauce revealed below…

The Brutal Truth About Using Twitter for Affiliate Marketing

by Puppet Master

ADMIT IT: Who here is actually successfully using Twitter for affiliate marketing? Who here is actually making a killing with every tweet they put out?

If you’re one of those who sheepishly put up their hands, don’t worry, because you’re not alone.

Frankly… Judging from the kind of terrible affiliate marketing examples plaguing the Tweetasphere, I don’t blame you.

It’s almost like Twitter’s ease-of-use and real-time function is both its biggest blessing and curse. Sending one tweet takes only 20 seconds or less. And making even tens of dollars from such minimal effort seems rather alluring. Yet the end result is a lot of noise and very little conversion. As a result, you get travesties like:

  • Endless bots with sexy fake photos sending endless tweets to random unconnected Clickbank offers…
  • Or those annoying @username messages where you get a supposedly personalized message from strangers that end up with yet another CPA offer…
  • Or one of those Twitter affiliate marketing home study courses that advocate connecting RSS feeds to their Twitter account as the the ultimate way to getting a big fat commission.

It really shows the level of cluelessness in the social media scene, doesn’t it?

I don’t mean to bash my fellow marketers perching on my high horse. Nosiree. After all, I myself was guilty of those sins once upon a time.

And yes, I didn’t exactly get rich using those despised tactics either.

I have since reformed. And I have now tested and tracked my wait to rapid Twitter profitability.

I must confess… I’m not making millions of dollars from using Twitter for affiliate marketing. There are FAR SUPERIOR ways to increasing your bottom line.

Yet done right… You can make a nice supplementary autopilot income on Twitter… Provided you know what to do…

I’ve been working on something that helps the average marketer become a Twitter Superaffiliate. After humiliating trail and error and intense testing and tracking, I have discovered a template for affiliate marketing on Twitter that’s both effective and profitable.

Remember, you could be one tweet away from fattening up your holiday earnings that you can use whatever way you please.

Why More Twitter Followers? The Great Twitter Marketing Myth and Hummingbird Review

by Puppet Master

Watch this Twitter Marketing video now. Click to play.

There’s a Twitter marketing myth that’s really prevalent in the Twitter community, and it goes something like this:

“It’s about the quality of followers, not the quantity.”

Their rationale is, who cares if you got thousands of Twitter followers if nobody cares what you have to say.

I admit, there’s a grain of truth. If all you do is harvest followers, you’re nothing but a spammer. But here’s why this reasoning is flawed…

No matter how much so called quality Twitter followers you have, the dismal percentages remain the same.

2% click-through rate. 5% if you’re lucky.

Here’s 3 surprising reasons why:

  1. There’s too much noise. Your followers follow hundreds of others. Hence  your tweets being lost in their tweet-stream as thy’re assaulted by noise.
  2. Not everyone is on at the same time. The US has six different time zones. Then there’s the rest of the world. People wont see your tweet because they’re not online at that time.
  3. Your followers are not targeted. People can follow you over a Chuck Norris Joke as much as sound marketing advice.

So here’s the deal, Guy Kawasaki says…

“Twitter is a numbers game.”

To overcome lower response rates, you need to get more followers to compensate that lack. And the good news is Twitter is phenomenal when it comes to generating leads really fast.

You see…

  • The more followers you have, the more influence you wield.
  • The more followers you have, the more chances of RTs.
  • The more followers you have, the more SALES you make.

Here’s the simple answer that make pumping the numbers so much easier.

The Death of Twitter?

by Puppet Master

If it weren’t for actual news headlines, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Twitter—elevated to the dizzying heights of social media rock stardom, has now been surrounded by equally alarming premonitions of doom.

“An abysmal 40% retention rate!” A tech tabloid screams. “Too much noise!” Says another.

Of course, then you’ve got the social media maven crowd whose recommending everyone to jump ship to FriendFeed, the ‘much-cooler’ alternative to Twitter.

The rise and fall of Twitter seemingly happened within the space of a few weeks!

And across the Tweetasphere, the cracks do seem to be showing.

Endless self-promo spam masquerading as friendly intro DMs.

deathoftwitter?

The Twitter higher-ups showing contempt for their users by introducing reactionary policies.

A whole bunch of clueless folks clogging the tweet-stream with inane stuff.

And there’s a hint of a whisper from the Twitter universe, that Twitter is dying a slow, painful death.

Gasp, is it true? Far from it, really. Pete Cashmore from Mashable said that Twitter is going through the Trough of Disillusionment, an extreme reaction to heightened expectations that lead to crushing disappointment.

Twitter trough of disillusionment

The new car smell is gone. The shiny object has lost some of its luster.

So what does this mean to you?

It means that in a period of a violent shake-up, the individuals with the sound fundamentals will be there to pick up the spoils.

It means that Twitter is going through its growing pains, and now it wants to grow up. And you, my friend, can mature along and profit nicely.

In my opinion, Twitter is still one of the most powerful marketing channels in the world. And now, its going to be better because the tire-kickers are leaving.

However, your marketing on Twitter needs to evolve. No more ME ME ME links. No more connecting for the sake of “giving value” and getting no returns for the bottom line. It’s been a fun ride, but now it’s time to get some ROI.

Here’s what these “adults-only” strategies mean:

  • Your conversations actually lead to sales conversions!
  • Your tweets actually drive targeted traffic to your promotions.
  • You’re legitimately generating leads without resorting to false viral scams.
  • Your business grows through voluntary word-of-mouth.
  • Your viral marketing really spreads your marketing messages like crazy.

Next week, I’m going to unveil some of the results of my testing and tracking in an exclusive call. These are the exact same secrets that propelled me ahead of the game compared to many other established players in my niche—purely through the implementation of social influence principles on Twitter.

Click and tap into the brain of who the GodFather of the Internet Mark Joyner calls “bona-fide Twitter genius.”

The Curious Case of the Crying One Legged Man

by Puppet Master

I was walking down the a busy street with my lovely wife Laura on the way for lunch yesterday.

On the way, I saw a disheveled old man with tattered clothes and a prosthetic leg, hawking small packets of facial tissue by the alley.

We put a few dollars in his cup and proceeded to the restaurant.  

For some reason, I was thinking about the one-legged man, so I took away lunch for him. I went to his little corner to hand him his meal.

To my surprise, the one-legged man was crouching in the corner and  weeping. I rushed to his side and asked him, "What’s the matter?"

His answer SHOCKED me to the core…  It sounds incredulous but I kid you not:

-> Someone STOLE his facial tissue packs and ran away! <-

I feel a surge of anger even as I type this. How can anyone who calls themselves human stoop to such lows? 

Anyway, I gave him some money and took down his address. I have brought his case up to the Welfare Department so here’s hoping something can be done about his predicament.

I’m praying that things will get better for him from here on.

I actually broke down and cried as I drove home because I really wanted to do something more. Then my typically wise wife said something rather profound…

*Doing something is the beginning of doing something more.*

And that’s the point of this post.

The great Gandhi has a famous saying: "Be the change you want to see in the world."

If you want to make a difference in your life, business or financial situation. If you want to impact your family, the poor or even the world… You need to do something. Anything.

That step of faith can change someone’s life. Your business. Even your future doing something is the beginning of doing something moregenerations to come.

If you want to see a change in your finances, in your homes, in your charities, in the things that are near and dear to your heart, you need to start becoming the change.

Take action. Rise up. Swallow that frog and start claiming life on your own terms.

Doing something is the beginning of doing something more.

And in case you didn’t know, we just flung open our doors to the Twitter Salvation System 2.0.
