Can The Twitterverse Tell What Kind Of Mood You’re In?
Absolutely! The key is to embrace your authentic attractive personality. One of my most frequently retweeted Twitter tips is SMILE when you Tweet. Tweople can tell. If you are not already on Twitter, you would be amazed on how moods are amplified through the words we tweet, and the photo we include in our profile. In 140 characters or less the Twitterverse will know your mood.

3 Reasons Why You Should Keep Your Politics To Yourself On Social Media

4 Fundamental Twitter Keys
Learn my four fundamental keys: (1) What is the value in lists? (2) What is another good use of lists? (3) What is the 10% rule? (4) How many people are not following me?
How to Find Your Best Followers
I love to help new clients discover how to create connections and conversations on Twitter. There are enormous possibilities. Most ‘newbie’s’ on Twitter get overwhelmed with all the conversation or broadcasting that fills up in their Twitter stream. The first step is having fun with the engagement.

Learn How To Craft Tweets
Twitter is a powerful platform. Learn how to craft tweets that will grab tweople’s attention, and increase the probability of a click!
What to Tweet, Part 1
First, have a clear mission of why you are on Twitter, and stay true to your mission. Become a resource of valuable information that will either educate or entertain your Followers.
Power of #Hashtags
When used strategically, creating your own hashtag can help you create a community of people sharing an interest in what is important to you, all of which leads directly into establishing the ‘Know, Like & Trust’ Relationship that will separate you from the hordes of tweeters.
How To Create a Mini-Community on Twitter

You can create new relationships, make valuable connections and form joint ventures. It is great way to build comradery and good fellowship.
Allow Your Prospects & Customers to Tell Their Story
Stories can be invisible influencers in creating cash conversations. Creating an emotional connection with a success story that a prospect or potential customer can relate to and can imagine doing, ultimately will help them get the same results. However, I believe that inviting the prospect to tell their own story rather than automatically going into your own story can be the most impactful conversation starter, an even faster path to cash. Receive a bonus tip that you can apply on Twitter.
A Small Glimpse of How Twitter Impacts People, Part 2
Never underestimate the Power of a Tweet, or even in real life, the Power of a Single Word or Statement. Messages can show up at the right time, and make a change in someone’s day, in someone’s life!
Utilizing Twitter, I firmly believe is the most effective delivery system available to make this type of impact. With very few rules and limitations imposed upon us by Twitter, we can create connections with people on the other side of the world or across the street.
A Small Glimpse of How Twitter Impacts People, Part 1

The remarkable thing you will experience is that by embracing this approach (combined with a sound marketing plan) to contributing to the greater good of others in the world – first, you will attract the attention of new business opportunities, partners, and customers. We don’t know who knows who, and who is watching for incredible new projects and people to work with.
Are You Unique on Social Media?
Social media, especially Twitter, are great venues to connect with people locally, nationally and globally. If you go back and look at some of the interviews with the Twitter founders, they founded Twitter to be a ‘Virtual Town Square’. So, it is anything for anybody. People can come in, and they can sell their jellies, their sweaters, their rugs, they can sing a song, or talk about politics. Whatever it is, there are a lot of different things that work for a lot of different people. But, what we should talk about is differentiation. Are you unique on Twitter? What is it about you that drives you, motivates you, and helps the conversation?
#GoWithTheFlow, #GLTP Chat – Monday, 8/3, 1 – 3 pm ET
Today’s Topic, #GoWithTheFlow: Lao Tzu’s philosophy is to simply notice the natural order of things. Work with it rather than against it. For to try to change what is, only sets up resistance. Simply notice involves simply noticing. When you watch a movie you allow yourself to be entertained – you don’t work on enjoying the movie. The Zen theory of Change states, I free myself not by trying to be free, but by simply noticing how I am imprisoning myself in the very moment I am imprisoning myself. Today our conversation will revolve about topics that include how you “Go with the Flow”.
Are You Attentive to the Needs of Your Twitter Followers?
The massive question is “How can I differentiate myself on Twitter from all those other people doing the same type of business I am doing?” The Golden Rule of Business Networking is “People will do business with and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.”
Global Impact of Twitter
Twitter has no limits of who can see your tweets. Anyone worldwide can search any subject or phrase, and can find your tweets. Twitter messages are also found through internet searches, the only other social networking sites that individual messages are found in this way is You Tube.

Just For Today
When I started on Twitter I did not have a plan of what I was going to achieve or promote. I started to share motivational messages, primarily because I received so much value and help from reading them countless times. Each time I came across a motivational message, there was always a new slant on the quote, because I had changed from the previous time

Why Twitter? Find Out Why.
Generally speaking, on the whole people do not understand what Twitter is or why they should use it, and Twitter’s tremendous advantages over other social media platforms. Their first perception is that Twitter simply is a platform for people to share information about their lunch, or that it is something that the television stations are doing to broadcast news.
Building Business and A Serendipitous Life
One of the common entrepreneurial roadblocks people frequently bump into is thinking that nobody else has the same aptitude and they wind up thinking, “Okay, well, I have to do everything myself. I know what I want to do with my business.” So, they are looking at micromanaging instead of focusing on what they do best and hire the rest.
#TwitterTips: Secrets About Twitter, Part 6: Last in the Series
There Is So Much Value in Lists: One of the ways to make a connection with a person of influence is to get that introduction. I begin to watch that person’s stream. I let that person know that I am watching them, seeing their tweets. Then I put that person on a list, and I start re-tweeting them periodically. And, let them know subtly that ‘Gary re-tweeted me again, he re-tweeted me again, re-tweeted me again’. What Is Another Good Use Of Lists?

#TwitterTips: Secrets About Twitter, Part 3
One of the most frequently asked questions on Twitter is how much should I be Tweeting every day? A person should be active on Twitter 2 times a day for about 20 minutes. I suggest that a new Tweeter with a purpose of building their community and business post 20 messages a day. It is really much simpler than you think.
#TwitterTips: Secrets About Twitter, Part 2
When people start seeing account disparities, people start viewing it as the person has too much of an ego. A perfect example would be someone who has 22,000 followers and 21 people that they are following. They see it as the person is not interested in having a conversation with anybody. Likewise, if you have only 21 followers then you will only see those posts. How can you change that?
#TwitterTips: Secrets About Twitter, Part 1
One of the services I provide for my clients is managing their accounts to help them attract followers and create a bigger audience. There are a number of things that people need to do well for their business. To learn something new is like reinventing the wheel, so to work with someone who has mastered Twitter is only smart business. Focus on your strengths and delegate to the experts.
Check Out Tsū, A New Social Media Platform
As a Twitter expert, I primarily encourage others to become actively involved in Twitter’s online social networking service. My primary reason is that Twitter can be so much more than a social or selling platform. It is an opportunity to make a positive impact in the world, and to serve those who may never invest in our products or services. Shift the focus to – how can you serve people and empower them. At a future date, if people do business with you, it will be based on this rule: “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.” So, the first rule is to build rapport and trust.

Give your stress wings and let it fly away ~ Terri Guillemets
Being an Entrepreneur, Twitter and Inspiration
I moved out of the world of factory work realizing that getting hurt was only going to shorten my life. What’s more, not working with the best foreman who had little people skills forced me out of working for a big organization and manual labor. Getting out of that world led me to becoming an entrepreneur. In addition, at that time my uncle who was in his 50’s worked for a huge refrigeration company. The owner of the company ran for the governor’s race, lost and came back after his recovery time, and told my uncle that he didn’t need him anymore. I observed this from a distance, and learned from his experience. I saw his challenge, and decided to broaden my skills.
Relationship Keys for Branding, Networking and Leadership on Twitter
Twitter is all about relationship building. It’s about building your market, creating that “know, like, and trust“ feeling and developing a community network, so that when you do have your products and services, you have people that are invested in you. This is truly relationship marketing and not a quick fix … they purchase ‘stuff’ and then they are gone.
Twitter is a Virtual Town Square
The major advantage of Twitter is that it is wide open. People will see your posts, and the whole world can discover you. You can find almost anyone on Twitter. It is the only platform that I know that is searchable. You can do an internet search, and if you use target key words, those tweets will start showing up in internet searches. You can follow anybody, anyone in the world. I have had conversations with Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsh, Richard Bach, and T. Harv Eker. They all have responded to me in some manner.

Predictions and Promises in the New Era of Love
Although the Mayan calendar ended in 2012 with predictions of the end of world, I always had a different interpretation, a different approach. I forecasted a new age.

Automation in Today’s Times
Blend the leverage of technology. How can that be done in today’s times? The answer is Automation. Here is how it came about….
Build a Prospecting List
…. So, when you start out, start out doing something small. Share each other’s links on Twitter. Create a highlight in your email on someone’s program.
How Relationships Affect Your Business
…. This theory applies to Social Media, as well. Social Media has really leveled the playing field. Everybody has an opportunity to play with the ‘big’ guys and the ‘little’ guys.
Speak Your Truth – Share Your Unique Story
…. For me, I see it with my tweets every day. People’s worlds are changing with one tweet at a time. Every day I hear messages on how a little tweet made an impact in that person’s day. Every day I get a message that it came at the right time, thanks for the reminder, great thing, I want to be able to share this.
Become a Time Management Master
Every day people make personal resolutions to become efficient in Time Management. Why is this important aspect of business and life building not achieved? Probably because if they tried other systems, they were either incomplete or too complicated.

Social Currency is a validation, an endorsement – going out and supporting others. Some people equate Social Currency on Twitter, as the act of ‘retweeting’ someone else with the expectation that the other person should ‘retweet’ them.

Aha Moments That Changed My Life, Part 3
Yes, somebody else could see my gifts, my vision, somebody could see what I could do for them and they were willing to be able to refer me, and recommend me to their audience. That was the boost I needed for so long. That has given me such confidence to go forward, build programs and do even more then what I expected to do previously.
Aha Moments That Changed My Life, Part 1
In June 2008, I met Dave Lakhani at a Bob Burg event and he mentioned that I have to get on Twitter. So, I got on Twitter and I started out selfishly sharing motivational quotes to lift myself up and to get out of the mental state I was in. In sharing those quotes, I became the 1 in 5 people Jim Rohn referred to … “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, including yourself.”

The 4 E’s to Effective Tweeting
I was recently asked how tweets could be more effective in creating conversations and attracting an audience of followers. The best ways I’ve discovered can be expressed by envisioning each of your tweets to contain at least one of the following elements.
Finally, Twitter Direct Messages No Longer A Spam-fill
Last week Twitter made a huge shift in no longer allowing links to be included in Direct Messages, now returning the use of our Direct Message (DM) inboxes as a way to have private conversations with our followers. A feature that was overtaken by spammers and malware in the past four years (at least).
Consistent Consistency (Are you Tweeting Enough)
One of the most asked questions I hear from clients and in my Twitter Stream is how much should I be Tweeting every day? Every time I tell them a story, that always helps them understand my suggested number of daily Tweets. A number of years ago, my kids would mumble about our ‘aimless excursions to no-where’.
#TwitterTip: Shorten Up Your Tweets – 100 is the New 140
One thing I noticed during the #GaryLoperTwitterParty is that when I tried to ReTweet (RT) many of the attendee’s tweets, I needed to edit the tweet to make it fit within the 140 character limit. Many times I could not RT a tweet because of the length and the time it would have taken to shorten it.
