“Give us the tools and we will finish the job!” – Winston Churchill

Twitter is a great site by itself, but even better when you start using some of the extra twitter tools built by many independent talented people. Some are paid, most are free, most are clever, some are useless.

There are tools for ‘tweeting’ your blog posts, automating messages, automatically following people, tweeting your photos and videos, tweeting your location, posting news, giving stats, researching people, searching tweets, almost anything you can likely think of!

Here are 5 free tools you will find useful when it comes to promoting your MLM on Twitter:

1. Bit.ly :: www.Bit.ly is the tool Twitter officially uses to shorten every link you post, to make links fit in the short Tweets easily. If you join Bit.ly yourself, however, you can shorten your own links and track how many clicks you get. Everyone on Twitter notices no difference, but you get a nice dashboard containing all your stats. This let’s you to see which kind of tweets are the most effective, allowing you to focus more on those. For example you might find your witty posts get more clicks than your “BREAKING NEWZ!” posts.

2. SocialOomph :: SocialOomph.com is the best suite of automated Twitter tools you can find for free. SocialOomph, previously named TweetLater, allows you to schedule Twitter posts for future dates and even recurring events. For example: You could set up the next 12 months of Twitter messages, 5 a day perhaps, and let the system post them at the specified times. You can also set it to post things like your “Merry Christmas!” message every year on December 25th, and you never have to think about it again.

3. TwitterFeed :: If you have a blog of any kind, or a flickr account, or social bookmarking account, or anything you update periodically, then you likely have an RSS feed that you can publish on Twitter. An RSS feed is just a tech term for the latest posts you publish online somewhere. RSS means your latest additions can be extracted and posted or linked to elsewhere on the web. TwitterFeed.com can take your blog address and automatically publish all future blog posts you write to your Twitter profile. Within about 30 minutes of publishing an article on your blog your Twitter followers will know about it. This is another way to fill your Twitter profile without having to actually do any extra work.

4. TwitBacks :: TwitBacks.com is the one tool out of these 5 that will have an immediate affect on your Twitter branding and make you stand out, which is of course essential for getting followers in the first place. You can put a larger photo of you, along with your web links and contact info, down the left side of the image, and set the colors for the rest of it to match your website. As you want your Twitter profile to stand out and grab the attention of other users it is important to customize everything about it you can. A custom background from TwitBacks.com is the highest quality background you can make, very quickly, and for free.

5. A Mobile Twitter Client :: Whether you use a BlackBerry, an iPhone, or just a regular phone, it is important to set it up with Twitter so you can post on the go. There are dozens of apps for the iPhone in the app store, TwitterBerry and UberTwitter for the BlackBerry, and SMS updates and the mobile webpage version for standard phones. Being able to tweet when you are out in the real world [for example: "Just going into a meeting with a client!"] will help to show you as professional and approachable.
