Using Twitter to Gain a Following for Your Triond Articles

How you can use Twitter to gain readers and boost your Triond earnings.

Twitter asks: What are you doing? You then reply in 140 letters or less.

For the longest time, I wasn't really sure what Twitter was about. I saw the Twitter button at Triond and submitted my article URLs but was still foggy as to how to use Twitter to gain readers and a following for my Triond articles.

I finally took the time to familiarize myself with the Twitter concept. Twitter asks: What are you doing? You then add brief remarks. It's a way to touch bases with others.

How to Use Twitter to Gain a Following for Your Triond Articles

When I add an article Url to Twitter, I describe what the article is about or ask a question that my article answers. This can be difficult because you have to  have enough letters left over, out of the 140 letters, to include your URL--but it can be done.

I've found that since I started describing my Triond articles, I've gained far more readers and followers at Twitter.

I also follow others and make comments on material they have submitted.

Twitter is a great little tool and once you understand how it works, you can use Twitter to gain a following for your Triond articles.

Thanks Athlyn. I've been experimenting with the different bookmarking sites. I've also been trying to tweak the descriptions I use when I post to the bookmarking sites, so your article is very timely.

Actually, twitter has become my 4th source of traffic after i started using it. The traffic it provides is so good that the bounce rate is lower than 50 percent.
