DON’T KNOW WHAT TWITTER “REALLY” IS?
•   Twitter has been around for over five years already!
•   It’s an online social networking service
•   It’s a microblog… what is a blog?
•   Twitter generates over 300 million tweets per day and nearly
    1,600,000,000 searches per day!


When used effectively, Twitter can provide an incredible amount of
content information to millions of people and effectively serve as a
public relations (PR) distribution outlet for your band or group.




                                        (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
WHAT CAN I USE TWITTER FOR?
Twitter allows for rapid communication using the latest technologies,
especially when used in conjunction with smartphones like the iPhone or
Android…

  • Communicating with subscribers/friends/potential-customers/buyers
  • Sharing of events, photos, gigs, and “subscription” options
  • Use it as a “post to everything” center for integration with Facebook,
    LinkedIn, Google Buzz/Plus+, and other Social Media Networks


  Use it to market yourself, your group, and your
  product!




                                                  (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
GETTING STARTED –ROOKIE MISTAKES!
Getting a Twitter account is easy:
1. Go to twitter.com – http://twitter.com
2. Click on the “Sign-up”:




3. Click “Create my Account”…
WHAT THE QR CODE IS GOING ON HERE?




  Scan this with a QR-Reader to go DIRECTLY to TWITTER! –
                                    So… What’s a QR Code
  you ask?
                                     (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
INTERLUDE… QR CODES
“Quick Response” Codes = QR Code
These “QR Codes” are here to stay, at least for awhile… and they are
   another great way to publicize your band, your group, your Twitter
   account, or yourself on printed materials…
•   Every newer smartphone/device with a camera has the ability to read
    these
•   Direct potential customers/buyers to an exact URL or various types of
    recordable information instantly… AND most QR readers will
    automatically archive what you scan so that you may come back to it
    later. ..
Generate QR codes for FREE and print them or save them via these easy-
to-use-sites:
•   http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
•   http://qrstuff.com/

ROOKIE MISTAKES (CONTINUED)
  As soon as you sign up for a Twitter Account
     there are a few MUST DOs:
  1. Upload a profile picture before you Tweet
     anything!
     Click on the “mystery person” icon and then
     choose settings
  2. Then fill out your profile… Be sure to
     include your website information and an
     informed bio and your location if applicable.
  3. Also, if you have a band/group/user
     Facebook account you can post directly to
     your Facebook stream by choosing to “Post
     your Tweets to Facebook” and linking the
     two accounts



Do not Tweet anything until you have your profile information completely
                              filled-out…
        –else you may be thought of as a false account or spammer!
                       DON’T BE AN EGG-HEAD!
                                   (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
YOUR TWITTER NAME AND PAGE
     Your Name and your Twitter “USER NAME” are two different things…
        Your Name can be your real name and/or the name of your group/band. Your
        “Username” needs to be something that is easily remembered and reflective
        of your group –this will become your “Twitter Name”… for instance, my public
        Twitter name is “@pisanojm”. The “@” signifies that you are specifying a
        Twitter user and is very significant in “Twitter lingo” and understanding this is
        the first step to becoming Twitter savvy.



  Set a related/cool background for your
  Twitter page:

  Twitter.com Settings  Design –
  Choose a built-in background or upload
  your own…




Check out http://twitbacks.com or http://freetwitterdesigner.com as
well!
                                                      (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
CONNECTING TO FACEBOOK
As stated earlier, one of the most “fabulous” integrations built-in to Twitter
   is the direct connection with Facebook accounts. To access this
   feature, open Twitter.com  Settings  Profile. Then click on the
   “Post your Tweets to Facebook” button.


I, however, like more control over what I post to Facebook from Twitter so I
    use the “Selective Tweets” Facebook App. This App allows me to
    choose which Twitter updates go to Facebook by entering the Twitter
    hashtag #fb in any Tweet I send out (more about hashtags in the next
    slide) .




  http://facebook.com/selectivetwitter - Login to Facebook to get
  this App!                              (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
TWITTER LINGO
Twitter Lingo 101:
•   Twitter Name: @pisanojm or @”anything”
•   #”anything”: Hashtag –used to focus topic discussion
    example #musicedchat, #ff, #fb, #mpln, #musiced, #timejen12, etc.
•   “d” or “D” @anybody: Used to send a DIRECT, non-public, message -
    potential recipients must be following you in order to send a Direct
    Message (DM) to them… Note: you do not need the “@” sign: “d
    pisanojm” will work fine…
•   RT: Re-Tweet – commonly used to when you are re-tweeting somebody
    else’s message – Example: “RT @pisanojm Twitter is very cool!”
•   Follow, Follower, Following: All used to describe the association
    between Twitter users
•   140 – The amount of characters you get to type in an update (one-forty)

NOTIFICATIONS VIA TWITTER
Twitter makes it easy to get notifications when different events happen to
   your account for tracking purposes (these are sent to you default
   twitter e-mail and you may change this e-mail address in the settings).



1. When sent a Direct message
2. When sent a reply or mentioned
3. When followed by someone
4. When Tweets are marked as
   favorites
5. Various updates from Twitter




        Twitter.com  Settings
        Notifications                         (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
CONNECTING TO LINKEDIN
It is easy to get connected to your Linkedin account. Login in to Linkedin
     (http://linkedin.com) , then go to settings  profile choose “Manage
     your Twitter settings”:




                                      From here, connect your Twitter account
                                      and choose the various options  you
                                      may want to choose to specify which
                                      Tweets are integrated into your Linkedin
                                      updates by checking the “#li” option…

USING GOOGLE PLUS (G+) WITH TWITTER
While it’s not possible to send Tweets into G+ YET via Twitter, it is possible to use
   G+ to send updates out to Twitter (as well as other Social Media Outlets).
   One such source that I use is a Google Chrome/Firefox extension named SG
   Plus:




           Output to           Output to               Output to
           Facebook             Twitter                Linkedin




                       http://sgplus.me
                                                    (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
GETTING JIGGY WITH TWIGGY (ERR. TWITTER)
       The Power of Hashtags:
       While you typically have to build your “followership” in order for anybody to “hear”
          you on Twitter; however, the strategic use of hashtags allows you to
          immediately get your message out and join in on relevant conversations.
          Using hashtags like #jazz, #newrelease, or #music will allow you to interface
          with people “watching” those tags. For instance #thingsIcantlivewithout was
          trending for the last four days… if you wanted to let people know about your
          latest or best album, you might try this as a tweet:
                                  My favorite #jazz #music album
Don’t be afraid to
@mention someone you              http://somewhere.com -
follow with something that        #thingsIcantlivewithout
may be of interest to them
(especially if they have a lot
of followers) – they may just
re-tweet you!

TRACKING YOUR TWEETED LINKS
Bit.ly makes it easy to track your
     tweeted links if you sign up for
     an account and shorten your
     tweeted links (or any other ones
     that want to track and post
     somewhere).
BTW, URL-shorteners like Bit.ly
  have become widely popular
  because of the 140 character
  limit in Twitter.
This also works great for QR code
    print materials… rather than put
    the direct link in a QR code, put
    a bit.ly link and find out how
    many people are scanning your
    codes!
Very cool indeed.

MOBILE TWEETING - THE REAL POWER
     The ability to easily use Twitter with your mobile phone and/or smartphone
        is what really makes Twitter powerful and fast to use as a distribution
        network.


     OLD-SCHOOL PHONE INTEGRATION – OUT OF THE BOX:

Twitter for Bands and Public Relations

  • 1. (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 2. All of my session materials and links will be available on MusTech.net on/after Monday January the 9th http://mustech.net/timejen12 BOOKMARK THIS PAGE (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 3. DON’T KNOW WHAT TWITTER “REALLY” IS? • Twitter has been around for over five years already! • It’s an online social networking service • It’s a microblog… what is a blog? • Twitter generates over 300 million tweets per day and nearly 1,600,000,000 searches per day! When used effectively, Twitter can provide an incredible amount of content information to millions of people and effectively serve as a public relations (PR) distribution outlet for your band or group. (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 4. WHAT CAN I USE TWITTER FOR? Twitter allows for rapid communication using the latest technologies, especially when used in conjunction with smartphones like the iPhone or Android… • Communicating with subscribers/friends/potential-customers/buyers • Sharing of events, photos, gigs, and “subscription” options • Use it as a “post to everything” center for integration with Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Buzz/Plus+, and other Social Media Networks Use it to market yourself, your group, and your product! (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 5. GETTING STARTED –ROOKIE MISTAKES! Getting a Twitter account is easy: 1. Go to twitter.com – http://twitter.com 2. Click on the “Sign-up”: 3. Click “Create my Account”…
  • 6. WHAT THE QR CODE IS GOING ON HERE? Scan this with a QR-Reader to go DIRECTLY to TWITTER! – So… What’s a QR Code you ask? (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 7. INTERLUDE… QR CODES “Quick Response” Codes = QR Code These “QR Codes” are here to stay, at least for awhile… and they are another great way to publicize your band, your group, your Twitter account, or yourself on printed materials… • Every newer smartphone/device with a camera has the ability to read these • Direct potential customers/buyers to an exact URL or various types of recordable information instantly… AND most QR readers will automatically archive what you scan so that you may come back to it later. .. Generate QR codes for FREE and print them or save them via these easy- to-use-sites: • http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ • http://qrstuff.com/ Shameless Plug QRC EXAMPLE: A.P.S. MusicMaster for iPhone: (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 8. ROOKIE MISTAKES (CONTINUED) As soon as you sign up for a Twitter Account there are a few MUST DOs: 1. Upload a profile picture before you Tweet anything! Click on the “mystery person” icon and then choose settings 2. Then fill out your profile… Be sure to include your website information and an informed bio and your location if applicable. 3. Also, if you have a band/group/user Facebook account you can post directly to your Facebook stream by choosing to “Post your Tweets to Facebook” and linking the two accounts Do not Tweet anything until you have your profile information completely filled-out… –else you may be thought of as a false account or spammer! DON’T BE AN EGG-HEAD! (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 9. YOUR TWITTER NAME AND PAGE Your Name and your Twitter “USER NAME” are two different things… Your Name can be your real name and/or the name of your group/band. Your “Username” needs to be something that is easily remembered and reflective of your group –this will become your “Twitter Name”… for instance, my public Twitter name is “@pisanojm”. The “@” signifies that you are specifying a Twitter user and is very significant in “Twitter lingo” and understanding this is the first step to becoming Twitter savvy. Set a related/cool background for your Twitter page: Twitter.com Settings  Design – Choose a built-in background or upload your own… Check out http://twitbacks.com or http://freetwitterdesigner.com as well! (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 10. CONNECTING TO FACEBOOK As stated earlier, one of the most “fabulous” integrations built-in to Twitter is the direct connection with Facebook accounts. To access this feature, open Twitter.com  Settings  Profile. Then click on the “Post your Tweets to Facebook” button. I, however, like more control over what I post to Facebook from Twitter so I use the “Selective Tweets” Facebook App. This App allows me to choose which Twitter updates go to Facebook by entering the Twitter hashtag #fb in any Tweet I send out (more about hashtags in the next slide) . http://facebook.com/selectivetwitter - Login to Facebook to get this App! (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 11. TWITTER LINGO Twitter Lingo 101: • Twitter Name: @pisanojm or @”anything” • #”anything”: Hashtag –used to focus topic discussion example #musicedchat, #ff, #fb, #mpln, #musiced, #timejen12, etc. • “d” or “D” @anybody: Used to send a DIRECT, non-public, message - potential recipients must be following you in order to send a Direct Message (DM) to them… Note: you do not need the “@” sign: “d pisanojm” will work fine… • RT: Re-Tweet – commonly used to when you are re-tweeting somebody else’s message – Example: “RT @pisanojm Twitter is very cool!” • Follow, Follower, Following: All used to describe the association between Twitter users • 140 – The amount of characters you get to type in an update (one-forty) Twitter Help Center: http://support.twitter.com (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 12. ANATOMY OF TWITTER.COM (HOME) Home Button @ Discussions Button Discover Button Search Compose Message Cool Twitbacks Custom b-ground! Follower/Twitter Info Current Trends Tweets from those you are Settings/Profile following (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET

  • 15. CREATING A TWEET/UPDATE–WHAT’S HAPPENING @mention ~ To send a direct Hashtags message use this format: d jamesfrankel Type Update Here Close/Cancel Add Photo Add Location Character Limit (140) Tweet your Update (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 16. VIEWING & INTERACTING WITH A TWEET Who From? Reply to User Re-Tweet this Tweet Favorite this Tweet Avatar/Pict of Tweeter View View the Tweet as a Threaded Single Page with Conversation Information (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 17. NOTIFICATIONS VIA TWITTER Twitter makes it easy to get notifications when different events happen to your account for tracking purposes (these are sent to you default twitter e-mail and you may change this e-mail address in the settings). 1. When sent a Direct message 2. When sent a reply or mentioned 3. When followed by someone 4. When Tweets are marked as favorites 5. Various updates from Twitter Twitter.com  Settings Notifications (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 18. CONNECTING TO LINKEDIN It is easy to get connected to your Linkedin account. Login in to Linkedin (http://linkedin.com) , then go to settings  profile choose “Manage your Twitter settings”: From here, connect your Twitter account and choose the various options  you may want to choose to specify which Tweets are integrated into your Linkedin updates by checking the “#li” option… (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 19. USING GOOGLE PLUS (G+) WITH TWITTER While it’s not possible to send Tweets into G+ YET via Twitter, it is possible to use G+ to send updates out to Twitter (as well as other Social Media Outlets). One such source that I use is a Google Chrome/Firefox extension named SG Plus: Output to Output to Output to Facebook Twitter Linkedin http://sgplus.me (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 20. GETTING JIGGY WITH TWIGGY (ERR. TWITTER) The Power of Hashtags: While you typically have to build your “followership” in order for anybody to “hear” you on Twitter; however, the strategic use of hashtags allows you to immediately get your message out and join in on relevant conversations. Using hashtags like #jazz, #newrelease, or #music will allow you to interface with people “watching” those tags. For instance #thingsIcantlivewithout was trending for the last four days… if you wanted to let people know about your latest or best album, you might try this as a tweet: My favorite #jazz #music album Don’t be afraid to @mention someone you http://somewhere.com - follow with something that #thingsIcantlivewithout may be of interest to them (especially if they have a lot of followers) – they may just re-tweet you! (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 21. ANALYTICS – HOW FAR IS YOUR REACH? Great Analytic Sites: Tweetreach.com |Twitalyzer.com | Trendistic.indextank.com (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 22. TRACKING YOUR TWEETED LINKS Bit.ly makes it easy to track your tweeted links if you sign up for an account and shorten your tweeted links (or any other ones that want to track and post somewhere). BTW, URL-shorteners like Bit.ly have become widely popular because of the 140 character limit in Twitter. This also works great for QR code print materials… rather than put the direct link in a QR code, put a bit.ly link and find out how many people are scanning your codes! Very cool indeed. http://Bit.ly (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 23. POWER TWITTER MANAGING For incredible “power management” of your Twitter “enterprise” there are a number of excellent clients to use that give you incredible command and power over your Twitter experience… I recommend Hootsuite.com and Tweetdeck.com (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 24. MOBILE TWEETING - THE REAL POWER The ability to easily use Twitter with your mobile phone and/or smartphone is what really makes Twitter powerful and fast to use as a distribution network. OLD-SCHOOL PHONE INTEGRATION – OUT OF THE BOX: Set up your mobile (text) phone directly via your Twitter account, then simply text your message to 40404 to post it directly to Twitter! Twitter.com  Settings  Mobile (C) 2012 JOSEPH M. PISANO/MUSTECH.NET
  • 25. SMARTPHONE TWITTER APPS – WOW! These apps are “where it is at” as far as starting your mobile public relations deluge of information via your Twitter account. iPhone, Android, etc. There is simply no faster way get text, photos, and even video links to the world any faster...
