Complete Guide to Twitter for Business eBook

I'm about to do something I rarely ever do, that's use this blog post to promote a product.

Complete Guide to Twitter for Business ebookThe reason I'm making the exception in this case is that it's my product I'm promoting, the Complete Guide to Twitter for Business.

The guide is a 35-page ebook contains everything you'll need to start maximizing the value of your investment in Twitter.

It will teach you:

  • How to choose a Twitter handle, set up your account and start using Twitter right away.
  • Who to connect with in order to maximize your potential for business development, lead generation and sales!
  • The right and wrong ways to engage others in conversation.
  • Cool Twitter techniques like @reply, direct messaging and retweets.
  • How to create a Twitter for business action plan.

Whether you are a Twitter novice or a veteran user, I dare say you'll find something useful.

While I would love to give the ebook away for free, I cannot. There are too many hours invested in its development to do so. However, at $9.95 it's almost like giving it away. (That's a special price just for Active Rainers too, btw.)

Plus, I offer a 100% money back guarantee. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with the book, I'll refund your full purchase price and you get to keep the book free as my gift. You've literally got nothing to lose!

Paul, sounds like a useful tool - I just don't get twitter... I will bookmark and get back to it when I am no longer on the road. 

Posted by Joanne O'Donnell (Chic Home Interiors - Stager, Trainer & EcoProfessional) about 3 years ago

Paul - I am new to Twitter.  Your articles have been excellent and informative and resulted directly in my becoming a Twit (it is all your fault).

It is my pleasure to support your publishing empire.

Thanks for all you do.

@Marlene - Take a chance. You've got nothing to lose. :-)

Paul - I started reading your series on twitter a couple of months ago. About half way through it I discovered that I still hadn't figured AR out and should get better at this before I start yet another thing. I might be about ready.

Cool I will take advantage of this Paul hopefully I can get started with twitter. I am a sucker for guarantees.

Sounds like your book is what I have been looking for to fully grasp the use of Twitter. Do you address the tweets, twit, and all the other related things I have come across that are related to Twitter?

@Connie - Well, hurry up would ya! :-)

@Charles - Mine is iron-clad. 

@Debi - I believe the book will answer questions you've not even thought to ask. However, if you find it doesn't, I'll gladly refund your money and you keep the book as my gift.

Hi Paul - I'm just starting to get the hang of Twitter, although the time element has become challenging keeping up with helping so many customers get such low interest rates (there - think I'll get points for my shameless self-promotion? :->)

Posted by Karen Cooper| Housing Counselor |Oregon about 3 years ago

Paul - sounds like a great book !  Could make for a super bday or holiday gift.  Or for a broker buying it for all his/her agents.

Posted by Christopher and Stephanie Somers - Realtors - Philadelphia Real Estate (Realtor / Owner - RE/MAX Access) about 3 years ago

@Karen - Speaking of, I need to look into refinancing myself. 

@Sounds good to me Christopher and Stephanie. You got a particular broker in mind? Hmmm? :)

Hi Paul, good look with your handbook from one of your favorite stalkers!

I've just joined twitter, and know I'm not using it correctly, as a biz application.    Thanks for taking the time to create the book.

THANKS...AGAIN... to PAUL...who makes it easy for those of us who need his concise way of sharing information and eBooks to get up to speed...

 

I am reBLOGGING this post and will share it with all the folks at my Office

Twitter looks cool, but I don't get it?

Aloha,

I am one of those who has a Twitter profile just to say I have it but I don't use it.  Is your book a "Dummies" version?  I will need all the help I can get.

Posted by Bridget Cella, e-Pro Realtor (Re/Max Connection) about 3 years ago

Paul - I'm only licensed in CA and OR, not LA if that is where you are located. Don't wait to look in to refinancing, though...market has been ugly the past two days, with rates going up.

Posted by Karen Cooper| Housing Counselor |Oregon about 3 years ago

OK Paul, I bought it. Does it come with direct access to you to ask questions? Twitter is a new language for me! LOL

Posted by Connie Harvey Realtor Nashville TN Real Estate (Pilkerton Realtors) about 3 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for the opportunity to try this out with a hand-book!

Cindy

Posted by Cindy Hartpence (Edisto Real Estate Company) about 3 years ago

Hi Paul;

I am a member of Twitter but I don't use it. Thank you for the offer.

Posted by Anthony Stokes-Pereira - Realtor (Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty) about 3 years ago

Hi Paul,

Good luck with the book.  Twitter is a viable form of business development and a natural way to engage in conversation.  We talk more like we tweet than like when we blog, at least most times we do, when we engage in 2 way conversation.

Posted by Rebecca Levinson, Real Estate Marketing Consultant (Real Skillz-Clear Marketing for Your Real Estate Vision) about 3 years ago

I am a new member of Twitter and am figuring out the bells and whistles.  Can you give us some highlights of your book without offering too much info that would make purchasing a waste.  I know you want to get compensated, but give us a little more of a teeze...please.

Posted by Simon Mills (Mills Realty) about 3 years ago

Woohoo...glad you lost the red x!

Posted by Karen Cooper| Housing Counselor |Oregon about 3 years ago

Paul - sounds like a great tool to have. I love using Twitter altho I could and should do more. Your past articles on Twitter have proven to be excellent advice and suggestions for making the most of being part of the crowd.

@susie - Thanks... for the compliment and for stalking. ;-)

@Li - I wrote just for you!

@JaneAnne - Thanks. I appreciate your sharing it with others.

@Roland - I guarantee it! Money back guarantee in fact.

@Keahi - Read the book and you will. Get it, that is.

@Bridget - It's kind of a Dummies book, yes, but refrained from using that title. It's written in easy to understand language. Simple instructions as well.

@Connie - Thanks for purchasing the ebook. My Twitter handle is @pchaney and the last page contains lots of ways to contact me.

@Cindy - Let me know how it goes.

@Anthony - You're breakin' my heart man. Try it, you'll like it!

@Rebecca - Thanks!

@Simon - I've got an entire series written on it here. Look back at some of the older posts and you'll find lots of stuff. That formed the framework for the ebook.

@Karen - Red X?

@Jeff - Thanks Jeff. I appreciate the kudos.

We know if must be a good awesome book when it's endorsed by noneother than Active Rich!

I'm getting the hang of Tweeting, but since I don't tweet on my Blackberry, I think I'm missing the boat. (or the Tweet?) I do have it on when I'm at my laptop, and have really learned some interesting things from the links that people have sent out. (via Twhirl...yet another application for use with Twitter.)

I'll pick up a copy in a few days. We are still in the "economy mode" here in ATL!

Thanks for creating this great guide!

I'm going to order the book, but do I have to go through pay pal?

Hey @Pchaney,

WooHoo!  Can't wait to read it!  :0)

Good luck with your book.  So many people are intimidated by twitter.  I got my first twitter referral last month so I'm a believer in using twitter for business.

Slick marketing approach.  I'll be an affiliate for you.  I can't wait to read and promote it.  Good luck with your venture.

It's taken me a few months to get the hang of Twitter and why to use it (@eduwebconf), but I'm slowly getting it and have made a lot of great contacts through it, so it's definitely worth trying. I don't tweet all day long - who has time for that? - but try to do a posting at least once a day, usually in respone to something else. I find it better to have a "conversation" with someone or several people thru Twitter and learning a lot from the many people I follow than just posting announcements about the annual conference I run in July. And besides, that's the point ... no one wants to hear a one way talk, they/we want to be involved back and forth. I may get the book as well.

Posted by Shelley Wetzel about 3 years ago

Thanks for the tip here, Paul.  And don't be ashamed to plug what I'm sure will be a useful tool for agents out there.  Love the guarantee by the way.

ok I ordered, I am twitter useless and can't not figure it out! I will let you know how much this helps, see ya on twitter soon!

Posted by Crystal Ledbetter (Texas Home Group) about 3 years ago

I was thrilled to see an eBook on Twitter as I'm still quite baffled. I bought it & tried signing up for your affiliate program with some hesitation (e-Junkie site not at same quality as your site or what I'm used to working with). Unfortunately I hit the brick wall when I was asked to provide a PayPal account.

Did research on PayPal over a year ago and the feedback on how they treat merchants was horrible, so I've successfully avoided it so far and hope to remain free of this service. I'm using Google Merchant account which offers similar functionality so maybe you'll expand in the future.

PS Fun writing from one handyman (the real thing) to another (softer touch)
