If you are looking for ways to increase your business exposure online, then using social networking sites like Twitter can be a great way to go, especially when you have a business blog.

I’ve recently come across a great free WordPress plugin that automatically notifies Twitter of your new blog posts, then links your new entry (called a tweet) in Twitter back to your blog post. Anyone following you in Twitter can then see the new entry and come visit your site to read the rest of your blog post.

The plugin is called Tweet My Blog and was developed by a couple of well-known internet marketers, John Merrick (no, not the Elephant Man, but a computer programmer from the UK!) and Soren Jordansen (co-creator of the best-selling hands-free plug’n'play affiliate marketing system called “CB Pirate“).

According to its creators, Tweet My Blog is “a Wordpress plugin that makes it super easy to combine the powers of Wordpress and Twitter – driving massive amounts of traffic to your blog. And the best part… It’s 100% free!”

I have downloaded this plugin and have installed it on this site and some of my other blogs. The plugin and sidebar widget allow you to display your latest tweets on your blog’s sidebar (see blog sidebar), it’s easy to install, easy to set up and works great, so in my opinion, it’s definitely a worthwhile plugin to install on your blog.

You will, of course, need to have an account set up with Twitter.com to use this plugin (setting up an account with Twitter is free.)

I do have a few separate Twitter accounts that I use for different purposes, and I found there was no problem using the same Tweet My Blog download to install and use the plugin on different blogs. Everything works just great and each of my separate blogs posts to my different Twitter accounts.

If you haven’t started using Twitter yet to help promote and grow your business, perhaps it’s time you should. The Tweet My Blog plugin developers were kind enough to include a very informative report on how to use Twitter to market your business when you download the plugin.
