Just finished spending over an hour redoing both filters and changing 3/4 of the water while removing what was left of one of the two remaining big fish. Tank is still a bit cloudy so no picture today maybe once it settles down.

Needless to say the turtles are high on my s-list today and they are smart enough to know that is not a good place as I control the food supply and tank maintenance.

They have watched over this past week as I put together my latest product Twitter Time Saver and decided that I should tell you about it here. That way if you buy it they can move off the s-list. Not really but it does make a good story . You should only buy it because it can help you and provide a positive return on your investment which it will I guarantee it.

Twitter has become more and more a big part of my business. The problem with Twitter when I started was three fold.

Finding targeted followers and not spending forever on Twitter were the first two. Doug Champigny has covered that part quite well in his Advanced Twitter Marketing. It gets a strong recommendation from the turtles and myself.

The third problem was a bit harder. Using Twitter is like email marketing – lots of competition in the inbox to get your message heard and Twitter is no different. Like my inbox there are certain people who by offering me quality information and recommendations that will always get my attention no matter how many emails they compete with in the inbox.

They have built that authority and you need to do the same on Twitter.

Even more important on Twitter is to be a sharer of quality information on what ever the topic is that you have built your followers on. Finding that information can take a lot of time but there are tools that can help you.

Twitter Time Saver will show you exactly how to accumulate and sort through information so that in 5 to 10 minutes a couple times a day you can keep your followers up to date with the latest cutting edge information. Do this consistently and people that follow you start looking for you. You get moved into the special column on their tweet deck and they Retweet what you send helping to grow you following.

Check out Twitter Time Saver and become the authority in your niche to your followers. The turtles will thank you

The turtles are always jockeying for authority. It seems the spot at the top is usually the one everyone jockeys for. Today Gizzard had the coveted spot and I watched him fend off other challengers until the others left him alone to enjoy his spot at the top. The picture to the left is him enjoying the fruits of his effort.

Now it isn’t that easy every day and it does change day to day.

Reminds me of Google and what they do. Check the listings for a topic three days in a row and it is not unusual to see some changes. Other topics it rarely changes.

The ones that don’t change much are usually for a simple reason. Google has decided that these sites are the authority in that topic. Create that kind of site site and you can get lots of traffic from the Big G.

The problem is knowing how to create the type of site that Google feels is the authority on the topic. It isn’t hard but does take effort.

You do need a plan and to understand how you can use good quality content and a variety of Web 2.0 sites to create that authority. Doesn’t happen over night but can be well worth the effort.

If you would like a plan on how to do this step by step check out Authority Site 2.0. Then after you have fended the others off you can relax and bask like Gizzard is.
