Big companies with big fat budget can always hire people to design and set up their Twitter profile page, but if you are a poor start-up, or just a lone individual, here is a beginner guide to help you turn your plain boring Twitter page into a professional business profile.

Tweet And Get It Plugin Helps You Increase Your Twitter Followers
By | July 13, 2011 | 2 Comments
I guess you are very familiar with the “Sign up for my newsletter and get a freebie” gimmick. This is a very common trick used by many webmasters to increase their email/rss feed subscribers. Basically, the webmaster offers a supposedly high-valued item (such as ebooks, software etc) for free, with the condition that the visitors subscribe to their email newsletters. The Tweet and Get It WordPress plugin works in a similar way, except that it helps you to gain more Twitter followers rather than email subscribers.
The working behind the Tweet and Get It plugin is simple. First, you create a high-value product to be given away. Next, you create a Tweet and Get it button which is linked indirectly to your download page. When your visitors click the button, they have to first follow your Twitter account and send a tweet before they are redirected to the download page.
