Use Twitter Hashtags To Promote Your Internet Business To Your Social Network

By: Nial Robbins

If you are new to Twitter you may have noticed that some messages include a word with the # sign in front of it and at the end of the tweet. This is called a hash tag, and hashtags are a convenient tool for organizing tweet posts.




During the 2007 San Diego forest fires a guy called Nate Ritter posted updates on Twitter about the situation and identified his post with the hash tag, "#sandiegofire". Since then, the use of hash tags to identify and quickly locate groups of messages has become a common practice among Twitter devotees. There is even a website, Hashtags org that logs the use of hash tags on Twitter. If you check it out you will find hundreds of different hash tags that are currently being used to organize information on Twitter.





Anybody with a twitter account can easily begin using hashtags. You can use hashtags whenever you want to send out a regular flow of notifications on Twitter about any subject you like. Simply include the hashtag somewhere in the body of the message that you want to tweet. Hashtags are often inserted in the body of tweets about business promotions or contests, or by people organizing parties or other social events.





Hashtags can also be utilized by Internet marketers who want to keep customers updated about new developments, products or projects. By letting your customers and the people on your mailing list know about the hashtags you are using, you can give them a convenient way to follow your updates on Twitter. People will be able to find your post on a particular subject when they enter the topic at hashtag in the search box on the Twitter website. This is a great way to reinforce your brand image.





Since Google indexes Twitter messages, and bearing in mind that hashtags are inserted in the text that you tweet, it is a good idea to use relevant keywords for your hashtags. Since you are providing information about your business, many of your tweets will also include links back to your website or blog, so your twitter tweets will help improve your website rankings on the search engines if you're hashtags are keyword optimized.





Here are some tips for getting the best use out of your Twitter hashtags. 1. Get your hashtags tracked. Go to /hashtags on Twitter and click the follow button. They will automatically follow you back and track your hashtags.



1.Keep your hashtags unique. Since you will want to use hash tags to identify your business posts, it is important that they be unique. Go to Hashtags org to see if the hash tag you want to use is already in use.

2.Always precede your keyword with the # sign. A hashtag looks like this: #fishingbooks or #fishingtackle, #fishingboats etc.

3.Make them relevant. Use a hash type that is relevant to the topic you are tracking. For example, if you are promoting a fashion show in London, #Londonfashion09 would be a better hashtag than #London, which is not specific enough.

4.Make them short and memorable. The hashtags are best when short, simple because you want your followers to be able to remember them easily. Avoid lengthy acronyms, long strings of abbreviations or code numbers. Don't forget that you can only use 140 characters in the whole message, so a long hashtag is undesirable.

5.Use hashtags for branding. Think "relevant keywords" and "brand image" when making up hashtags. This will make your brand more visible to your target market, especially to those who are searching for what you have to offer.

LA COMUNICACIÓN EFICAZ

La necesidad más básica y vital de los seres humanos es la comunicación. Esta se define como un proceso bilateral de intercambio y comprensión de información entre al menos dos personas o grupos. La persona o grupo que transmite una información, es el emisor; quien la transmite a otra persona u otro grupo que la recibe, es el receptor, comprende varias etapas. El ciclo se completa de manera adecuada, por la reacción del destinatario, es lo que se denomina la retroalimentación, que permite asegurarnos que el receptor interpreta el mensaje conforme a las intenciones del emisor.

Nos comunicamos a través del lenguaje este puede ser verbal, no verbal y escrito. De acuerdo a investigaciones cuando nos comunicamos, las palabras o contenido, representan 7% del mensaje, es el denominado lenguaje verbal o digital, el resto es el no verbal o analógico del cual 38% tiene que ver con la calidad de la voz (volumen, velocidad, timbre, ritmo) y 55% con los movimientos de los ojos , de las manos, respiración, postura, gestos. Por lo que podemos concluir que en general es mas importante “Como se dicen las cosas” que lo que realmente “Se dice”.

PRINCIPIOS BÁSICOS DE LA COMUNICACIÓN EFICAZ

ü Es imposible no comunicar, incluso si nos mantenemos callados estamos enviando un mensaje.

ü Antes de comunicarte conoce lo que quieres en realidad, entra en contacto con tu verdadero objetivo, descubre que quiere la otra persona, ve más allá de las “palabras superficiales”, Si hay dudas aclara el significado de las palabras principales

ü El resultado de la comunicación es la respuesta que obtenemos independientemente de nuestra intención.

ü Escuchar es una de las mejores maneras de comunicarse, es mejor callar cuando no se tiene algo agradable que decir. Ten un propósito cuando escuches

ü En la medida de lo posible la comunicación debe ser, abierta, directa, sincera y oportuna(asertiva)-

ü Cuando solicites información, pregunta “Que “, ”Como” en vez de ” Porque”

ü Mantén el más alto nivel de tolerancia y respeto , recordar que no somos dueños de la verdad, eliminar el prejuicio y la parcialidad, no juzgar, comparar, ni menospreciar sin necesidad, respetar el modelo del mundo de la otra persona aunque no lo compartas.

ü Elogiar es tener poder comunicativo, hacer sentir importante a los demás es valorarlos justamente, demostrar sincero interés por las personas ayuda a que se sientan seguras y llena sus expectativas. Elogiar en público y criticar en privado

ü Compartir experiencias, buscar temas de interés mutuo, tomar conciencia de que no lo sabemos todo, saber rectificar cuando cometemos errores.

ü La información debe ser dada en forma descriptiva y no evaluadora, los comentarios sobre el comportamiento de los demás deben ser específicos y no generales. Cuando se hagan criticas dirigirla hacia la conducta y no hacia la persona.

ü Aprender a conocerse a sí mismo es la mejor manera de conocer a los demás. Ponerse en el lugar del otro –empatía– es una vía útil para comprenderlo.

ü Comunicarse adecuadamente mejora la calidad de vida.

ü Pensar en positivo es la razón del éxito en la comunicación. El sueño de hoy es la realidad del mañana

ü Emplea habilidades de influencia y persuasión que te ayuden a conseguir lo que quieres de verdad
