Do You Tweet Performance Marketing?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last year, anyone in online marketing knows about Twitter. However, even with the variety of tools and websites to enhance our Twitter experience, there is still some frustration lingering amongst users like me. As a new user how do you decide who to follow? Where can I find people in the industry with compelling content and a fresh, honest voice?
I have compiled a list of my top 10 Twitter-ers in the performance marketing space who I deem truthful, informative, engaging, and worth a follow:
1. http://twitter.com/leeodden
Lee Odden is the CEO of TopRankBlog.com. He is a great source of all things social media. For any newbies just starting out in this space, his twitter is a great starting place for connecting and learning.
2. http://twitter.com/econsultancy
Based out of London, Econsultancy compiles information surrounding the digital marketer’s world in one place. In order to be frequently updated to what goes on concerning online marketing, Econsutancy is a key to follow. They also have a live Twitter feed on their homepage as well as a growing community of contributors.
Recently launched, affbuzz.com gathers well-known industry contact’s blog RSS feeds into one website and all updates are automatically updated on their Twitter account. It’s a great resource to know what industry leaders are blogging about and how it affects you as a company.
4. http://twitter.com/sugarrae
Connecting with Rae Hoffman on Twitter an achievement, as she doesn’t follow many, but she knows what is going on in the industry. CEO of her own Internet marketing agency and owner of MFE Interactive and Outspoken Media, she is an avid Twitter-er and speaks at many affiliate conventions.
5. http://twitter.com/stephagresta
Stephanie Agresta is EVP, Global Director of Digital Strategy/Social Media at Porter Novelli, blogs at InternetGeekGirl.com and Co-founded TechSet. She has a huge readership base and engages her followers in conversation. Connecting with people is something she’s good at and you can definitely learn from her expertise.
6. http://twitter.com/affiliatetip
If you’re in the performance industry, you know the name Shawn Collins. Co-founder of Affiliate Summit, FeedFront magazine editor and GeekCast.fm podcaster, Shawn is an icon in this space. Aside from adding a personal touch to his Twitter, Shawn is the most helpful resource to have. Ask him anything, and he’ll have the answer.
7. http://twitter.com/thedukeofseo
If you want to know anything about SEO, this Twitter is a great resource from SEO land. What I like about this Twitter is it connects search and social media in the best and most literal form.
8. http://twitter.com/andybeal
Andy Beal is the founder of Trackur.com, author of Radically Transparent, editor of MarketingPilgrim.com and a marketing consultant. He’s a great resource to have on Twitter because of his experience and his engagement. He’s honest, entertaining, and well respected in this industry.
9. http://twitter.com/murraynewlands
Murray is a Green Online Marketing Specialist and a blogger. He uses Twitter to drive traffic to his compelling blog and posts educational links. A leader in the online space, Murray RT more than others and gives credit to those who deserve it.
10. http://twitter.com/quityourdayjob
Jeremy Palmer is a well-known super affiliate and he teaches others how to follow in his footsteps. Owner of Quityourdayjob.com, Jeremy uses Twitter effectively because he adds more to the conversation. His Tweets are informative and current with what’s going on in the industry.
