@KeystoClarity has a radio show about her spiritual coaching business.

When she asked me to come on an talk about Twitter, I wasn’t sure what to expect… but glad to talk about the basics of Twitter and share some tips for tweeps that are just getting started.

Turned out very well. Great questions from @KeystoClarity, and we had a very interesting discussion about how we approach Twitter for business.

Listen to –> Keys To Clarity Twitter Show

Tonight’s Twitter Radio Show will answer questions:

I’m heading out to LA for Mark Victor Hansen’s Mega Book Marketing University this Friday-Sun (2/27-3/1). Click here for venue information

While there, I’ll be tweeing up with any authors that use Twitter. If you are in the LA area, use Twitter, and want to become well know and have a best selling book, drop by the event lobby Friday or Saturday afternoon. (Tweet me @WarrenWhitlock to let me know your are coming).

Mega is a must for authors.. but the tweetups will be in the lobby and no ticket is required.

On Friday 2/27, I’ll be doing my radio show from somewhere near LAX with @RobMcNealy and @BeTheMedia talking about how authors, bloggers, entrepreneurs and everyone can “be the media” and how you can get the recognition you, your book, and your business deserve.

You can join us live in the chat room Friday night at 7:00 pm Pacific time at http://TwitCastRadio.com

Back in December, we had the famous social media guru @JimKukral on TwitCastRadio.

As if that his social media expertiese wasn’t enough, Jim brought along his ukulele for some extra fun and strummed out a few bars he suggested would be the start of a TwitCastRadio Theme

Jim promised to complete the song.. and true to his word.. has been laying down some tracks for us.

Lyrics Contest

@JimKukral is a first class writer, but he’s asked for help with the lyrics for the new TwitCastRadio theme. He says that it just wouldn’t be a good community effort if we didn’t get all our tweeps involved.

Tonight’s http://TwitCastRadio.com was my Twinterview with @MattBacak, who was recently subjected to a Twitter Storm of negative tweets over a press release he issued about his social media activities.

Matt has been promoting online, teaching others how to marketing their books and businesses on the Internet and building several multi-million dollar businesses.

While the press release statements were true, they gave the impression that Matt was in Stage 2.. looking for a way to profit or use technologies like Twitter.

I knew this wasn’t like Matt. So I invited him to tell us what happened.

Listen to the interview now. I think you’ll agree that it’s a story of a sincere guy, who learns from his mistake. (no wonder he’s been so successful).

Do you think Matt was genuine on the call? I admit to not being totally objective, but I think you’ll hear that he is the man of integrety I know and love

Our Twitter Radio show this week will focus on using social media to promote you book or business.

Many in our network are authors, many others want to become a best selling author at some point. Twitter and Social Media are great tools for any author or business wishing to build meaningful relationships to attract new customers and readers, sell book and products, and form strong bonds with your market.

Special Guest @BBSpress

Alan Bechtold has been using high tech solutions to build information products and businesses for since the mid 80’s. Alan (@BBSpress on Twitter) will be on the TwitCast to tell us how anyone with any passion can turn their knowledge into info-products.

Do you want to become a famous best selling author?

We take questions live, and from COMMENTS here.  When you post a comment below, you have a chance to create a link to your web site (in the form) and include your @ handle so that anyone that identifies with you can connect on Twitter.

Make sure you follow others that comment if you like what they are saying. It’s the highest of compliments when people see a tweet that you liked their comments and build more meaningful connections in our group.

Twitter Revolution, the handbook, the radio show and this blog are here to help us all grow our networks in social media. We know that by helping you grow, we ALL have more influence and power to spread important memes to make the world a better place.

Tweet me at @WarrenWhitlock and let me know how you are using comments on blogs, the TwitCast Chat, and social media to help other spread good causes. I want to know about the best ideas and memes and help you build your network.

I’ve been thinking about the Top 50 Tweeples to FOLLOW survey, and wondering what YOU think.

Do you follow people just because a lot of other people do?

I find that the number of followers a person has is not always the best guide. I’m leary of a survey that is just a popularity contest.

Don’t get me wrong.. I’m hoping you will vote for @coachDeb, @WarrenWhitlock and the cool Tweeple we have on the TwitCast… We’d like the publicity for the radio show, this site, and the book.

What say you?

Do you follow people that you know in real life? Those you meet elsewhere on the net? friends of friends who are saying cool stuff? Or just popular tweeple?

Leave a comment here. Then join me on the TwitCast tonight. We’ll be talking about “follow worthy” and answering your questions.

You can see what time the TwitCast airs by clicking here.

I forget that a weekend in Vegas is a big deal for some people.. I’m here most of the time.

However, this weekend is going to be especially exciting as BlogWorld has come to Vegas @CoachDeb and I will be at a TweetUp where we get to meet many of the bloggers who have supported the Twitter Handbook project over the past few months.

Not in Vegas? No PROBLEM!

The TwitCast will go live at 7:00pm Vegas time. (log in here to see what time it starts on your computer). We’ll have twinterviews, talk about our book store book, Twitter Revolution, and have prizes to give away.

We are live from the tweetup so you can tune in from any computer and join the fun

And now.. TwitCastRadio has VIDEO!

I’ve been told I have a face for radio, but the folks at BlogTalkRadio say I should add video to the TwitCast. They have informed me that our show is featured, meaning that our network of friends will be exposed to a wider audience on the BTR network, and we can add video.

You can grow your network with the show (do this NOW so you will be ready for the show)

1. Log in to BlogTalkRadio
2. Create a PROFILE with your photo and real name
3. Mark the TwitCast as a favorite and become a friend of the show
4. Leave a comment here and on BTR if you like the show
5. Tweet to your friends about the show on you blog, ezine and social network

When you do this, you will be all set to grow with our network.

We will announce on the show when it is appropriate for listeners to tweet their profile, post your complete Twitter URL and other like minded twitter users will follow you.

Be sure to follow up with a thank you and try to find something nice to do for the new people that follow you, such as leaving a comment on their blog, or tweeting about something cool they do.

These simple acts of kindness will pay you back when tweeps see that you are a giver, and want to know more about you and what you do. You do not neet to overtly sell them.. they will want to know you. This is the real power of social networking.

I know this works. All of my current clients come from social networking, online and offline, most of them read about me on Facebook or Twitter and my web sites before calling me.

A great way to network, help others, attract new friends and leads for your business and have a whole lot of fun.

If this is helpful to you please comment below. A live link back to you is included.. be sure to add your Twitter handle (@name) so we can follow you.Technorati Tags: twtter, warren whitlock, deb micek, blogworld, bwe08, twitter.com, vegas
