Thanks for the tip Ludwig. So others don't think you are a shameless promoter...:-) what is your experience with Keyword Research Pro? Why do you prefer ispionage? What are the advantages (specifics) you have found?

Thanks for chiming in.

There is also a fine tool for keywords research and campaign building on www.ispionage.com. This tool helps you find keywords on the internet, group them and create adgroups as much as building PPC camapigns, monitoring them and keep an eye on the competition. It's quite useful and time-saving. Should check it out.

Thanks for chiming in Alex, it is much better with your contribution. Yes, just a one time purchase. If the coupon is still on that page, you can save a little bit. I'm with you, only pay for continuity when absolutely necessary (competitive advantage, measurable and timely ROI). I should have made that clearer in the review.

Solid, balanced review, in light of all the recent product pitch fests. This is a one time purchase, right? I don't think I can handle any more continuity products.

Twitters new BETA feature Sublists for your twitter followers should make your job much easier.
Twitter has given some of us the chance to use their new feature, Sublists. You name the new list when you create it, it seem unlimited number of list creation and I now have it on three separate twitter accounts.
Don't know if you can select and tweet to selected sublists yet? But that could be next.
This sublist feature started on 10/29/2009
I enjoyed your blog have a great day.

Welcome to overwhelm. :-) Slow down, step away, determine where it fits in, and take the next logical step (that is the simple answer). Does this help?

I am having a problem with settling on one product since I see the stuff that is missing. I guess it would be like filling the holes in a wall. I have affiliates just don't know where to put them...lol I am just so confused!!

Thanks KC. Those are just a few, I'm sure there are others as well, like with LinkedIn, or what about social bookmarking services, it's a great way to connect with those in your target market on those services as well.

Very useful tips! I bet there are many other ways to use this to your advantage.

Sherman-

Thanks for taking time to contribute here. Your points are solid (as usual), and well thought out. I guess the bottomline is, know where you are headed and have a disciplined plan to get there, fighting off distractions 'like the plague' along the way.

The challenge, as I see it, many want to shake the distractions in their businesses and online marketing (like Twitter and Facebook), but are handcuffed to them, preventing the clean break needed for a sufficient period to gain 'clarity and focus' in their business. Many have taken (including myself) a hiatus from Twitter (@johnreese) and other such services, only to return rejuvenated, recharged, and refocused.

What do you think, is a hiatus appropriate, or over the top? How long is too long?

Travis, thanks for sharing your 12 lessons. Not only is it a comprehensive set of lessons that you've invested alot of time and energy in publishing it, but I applaud you for being candid and open to sharing your journey.

Since we're being candid, social media tools (ie Twitter, Facebook) for business is NOT for every business owner. Let me explain...

01. "Something Shiny"
- Business owners who haven't learnt how to focus or single-task on their most important daily tasks, but jump at every email, salesletter or new widget of the day, will find spending time on Twitter or Facebook a very exciting experiment in "something shiny". Hours will pass and they'll still be as unproductive as ever.

02. "No End In Mind"
- Business owners who do NOT have clarity on their business objectives in using Social Media will not attain it. Like the saying, "Plan your work, and work your plan". In addition, some who have clear business objectives do not leverage tactical resources to help them achieve their objectives more effectively. Some will use the wrong tools or use tools inefficiently.

03. "Misunderstanding Social Media"
- In every profession, a pro understands his/her tools. The tools do not make the pro, but it enhances their work. Business owners who do not understand the power or purpose of the 'tool' of social media will use it ineffectively, not get the results, and blame it on the tool.

Travis, thanks for sharing once again. If business owners gain wisdom from your experience of how to be focused, gain clarity on their business objectives and use powerful tools effectively from your lessons, they'll be much better off.

Demian-

Yes, there are certainly other reasons to be careful what you publish on twitter, facebook, and others. I've seen a trend where people are returning to the 'roots' of their business, as they realize social media isn't helping them achieve their business goals as they had hoped.

Re: Review of The Twitter Method from Tom Deeter and Jack Humphrey

Candy Collins — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:40:01 -0000

My tweeter experience was 100% manual so far and toward getting followers, but this didn't help me much to make money online. I can say that despite of the many offers of tweeter software that maximize the numbers of followers I didn't feel that it will work and as so - didn't buy any of them. Actually I think that the number of people follow you has to be much much bigger the number of people you follow. This is just natural thing to be. This method is very promising and I definitely will try it.

Couldn't agree with you more on Twitter for the same reasons. And then some. Twitter and Facebook both own your content. And both don't allow you to develop any legacy content. [Of course you can argue that relationships have more legacy than words.]
