I was a guest on the first Teleseminar Nation free training call and remembered about 372 times that Dan and Ed there have promoted my radio show, blog, tweets and promotions on Twitter.

The least I can do it to tell you about them… but there is SO MUCH MORE FOR YOU.

• Free publicity for your teleseminar, show, etc
• Network with others.. book guest and be booked
• Learn about Teleseminars
• Meet some great tweeps to build your own Twitter network

Listen to the recording of the teleseminar training using the link here and then sign up for Telesminar Nation. Be sure to tweet about it, and include @EdLovesSumo in your twitter love. He’s a great friend to have when it comes time to promote the good stuff.

It’s as simple as that.

I’m always logged in to Twitter… and access it with other browsers and software most of the time.

Didn’t notice the home page change until today… Nice.

I’ve done about 97 radio interviews where I referred to the BIG RED BUTTON to instruct new users how Twitter works… all those show archives are out of date. (you can still view it by clicking here– Twitter in Plain English)

A $50,000 law suit was filed this week against a woman that tweeted about her allegedly moldy apartment:

This just in from CBS 2 Chicago

Horizon Group Management sued Amanda Bonnen Monday for publishing a false and defamatory tweet on Twitter May 12.

According to the suit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court Bonnen wrote an update that said “Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it’s okay.”

What you say on Twitter is just as real as what you say in public anywhere… though it would seem that a photo of mold and a note from a property manager saying they weren’t going to fix it would be a great defense.  (not a legal opinion.. I’m not a lawyer).

Watch what you tweet

UPDATE: A short comment can be defamatory.. and other legal issues: Will The First Twitter Case Be Dismissed?

I’m teaching a class on how to promote yourself on Twitter.

NOTE: It’s not about adding a lot of bogus followers and spamming them

To promote yourself right, be part of something bigger than yourself. That’s I’m inviting EVERYONE who wants to show they are a GIVER to tweet along with us, make new connections and build relationship with REAL PEOPLE today.

HOW TO PLAY

Simple to join us:

Starting today (July 23) at 2pm Eastern (11am Pacific) I will tell our class about the #GREENLIGHT hash tage and the link to this explanation — http://budurl.com/greenlight (this link will come back to this explanation)

I’ll teach them to follow the thread of posts and add their own so they can network with you and other GIVERS on Twitter.

If you post a tweet with #GREENLIGHT during the next few hours, thousands of givers will see it.. and see that you are one of us. So will like what they see, real human tweeps with something to say and a giving attitude. You will get a few new followers that see you as a Twitter user who “get it”

The event continues after the class ends and I go to meet up with fans of WHO’S GOT YOUR BACK by Keith Ferrazzi. If you are in Atlanta, you can join us FREE but the for our purposes.. it’s just a great excuse to promote GOOD ENERGY. I’ll tell everyone there about #GREENLIGHT and the group of great networkers will check and see your tweets too.

What’s Good Energy?

Anytime you help another person, pay it forward, or just treat your fellow human beings as important individuals, you are spreading good energy.

On 9/9/9, people all over the Earth will be part of Good Energy Day.. but you don’t have to wait to 9/9/9. You can spread good energy any time.

1. Tweet with #GREENLIGHT
2. Follow tweets with #GREENLIGHT to meet like minded people. 
3. Add a comment here with your thoughts,
4. Keep sharing GOOD ENERGY.

It’s as simple at that.

Last Friday, I flew down to Los Angeles to be on a talk radio show about Twitter.

Most of the time I call in to radio shows, but the offer was for a studio show, so said yes.

The show ended up being at the same time as TwitCastRadio, my own Twitter radio show, so I contacted the producer and told them I’d simulcast my show via phone from their studio.

The show went well but the simulcast failed. So I got the link for their show and posted it for this weeks TwitCastRadio.

On Saturday, they started sharing the link I used to them. Sunday I was out, but saw that there were a lot of mentions of the show link in my stream. I thought “Boy, these guys are popular”

Unfortunatly, it was a plot to use my name and the show to promote themselves. By Monday, I had to contact them and ask them to stop using my name. The links and use of my Twitter handle continued so I contacted the show host, the contact that got me to go and a few of the tweeps who were complaining that I might be a spammer.

As any regular reader would know. I’m not a spammer. I teach against the use of bots to post and anything that has a repeated message. Even if you are saying nice things about me.. it’s just not right.

My name has been dropped, so my followers are spared any furuther tweets. However, the host of the show has not changed his ways so I need to cancel the replay of his show and will instead air an episode that talks about how easy it is to look like a bad apple in social media.

Anyone can get caught it this. United Airlines just got a taste of it last week and we all know stories of companies large and small who end up looking bad, regardless of intentions.

The answer: Tell the truth and be transparent. I was wrong to trust this guy and while I did nothing wrong by appearing on his radio program, I could have stopped the links early. I’ll claim it’s becuase I’m a nice guy, but that’s no excuse.

When you make a mistake, take the heat, admit you did wrong and move on. While the public does like to see someone fall, they like it even better when there is a redemption.

Well.. here’s mine. If you saw all those tweets, I apologize. I’ll try to watch closer and prevent this in the futuer. Hopefully, this post will help clear the air and help other learn from my mistake.

What say you? Am I doing it right? What else would you do? Share your thoughts, stories or comments here.

I hear stories daily of tweeps who are making money on Twitter.  For every success story I hear, there are just as many stories of tweeps who are frustrated that they can’t turn their tweets into profits.

Success on Twitter requires dedication and constant conversation.  If you tweet once daily, chances are you’re not going to be heard over the noise of the Twittersphere.  If you’re constantly pushing products and only tweeting when you have something to sell, you’re going to be unfollowed quickly.

But if you’re being authentic in your tweets and engaging your followers – developing a relationship – you’re going to find your way to those elusive profits.

Being an active tweeter is key to developing a following and a tribe.  Engaging your followers is key to building rapport and trust.  And talking about specific topics of interest to your followers is going to help increase your following.

But you probably already know that

You’re using hash tags and following the trending topics… yet you’re still struggling to draw that traffic to your main site or add them to your opt-in list.

The ONLY time you can answer this cheesy joke correctly with the date:
“Why is 6 afraid of 7?”

July 8th was my father’s birthday. He passed away last year and I thought of this while wondering about the changes we will have now that he’s not attending the party.
Dad loved a cheesy joke more than anyone I know. I’m going to tweet and post comments with a few of them.
