MicroBloggingMicroblogging on the social media sites can be very effective in helping you increase your online profile, get more prospects, and sell more products. There are new services popping up constantly.

Twitter has gone mainstream and more internet marketers than ever are advertising on Facebook, plus maintaining fan pages and profiles.

You want to keep your status line updated regularly in all your microblogging profiles so that people remember who you are, visit your links, and send your links viral!

Besides updating your status at Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, there are now oodles of other options as well, and some of those sites could be crawling with people who want to buy the product you’re selling, subscribe to your blog, opt-in to your e-mail marketing list, etcetera.

But with so many different sites available that are known for helping you achieve great results, how do you manage it all?

Here are some tips to help you maximise your Microblogging efforts without taking up your entire schedule!

Know When To Turn It Off

Learn when to turn it off! If your mobile phone bleeps or your browser makes noise incessantly due to updates from your many followers, it will be counter productive. Set times during the day to do your microblogging.

Choose Peak Periods To Post

Consider where your audience is and what time it is there. A burst of activity is likely to get more results if your followers are microblogging as well. Peak times are often: 9-10 am and after 7pm.

Centralise Your Microblogging

Use aggregators to help you update statuses on multiple sites simultaneously. This lets you reach a wider audience with one update rather than having to visit five different Microblogging sites.

A good option is Ping.Fm in terms of a web-based option and there’s a tool called Hello.txt that offers a desktop program that will manage multiple micro-blogs for you. FriendFeed is also a great option for aggregating more than just microblogging as it will update many other social media sites as well.

Have a most outstanding day.
