Multimedia files (audio, video, pictures) are great tools to use to get people to visit your website. You can use twitter to get people to look at or listen to the multimedia files you have created. After you read this article you will know of 3 ways that you can use twitter to promote your multimedia creations.

1. You can use microblogging to promote your videos. Many people use YouTube as a way to share their video files. It’s great that you’ve create a useful video and put it up on YouTube, but how are you going to get people to actually watch the video? Well it’s pretty simple. Just get in the habit of posting a tweet to your followers every time you post a new video to your YouTube channel. You can do the same thing if you use sites other than YouTube to host your video. Another strategy would be to tell your twitter followers about the video before you create the video. This creates anticipation in the minds of your twitter followers. They’ll be looking forward to your video and be more likely to watch the video.

2. Got a podcast? Great! After you’ve taken the time to create useful content, you want people to actually listen to your podcast, right? A great way to that is to just post a tweet to your followers when you’re about to record the podcast and then another tweet when the podcast is ready for them to download it. Another way to get traffic to your podcast is to interview someone that is really popular on twitter. Once you’ve interviewed this person do the same thing you do with your other podcast episodes. Let everyone know it’s available!

3. Got photos? Use twitpic! Twitpic is an awesome way to share your photos with your twitter posse. If your twitter friend is in the picture be sure to tag them in the picture. This way they’ll be sure to look at the picture. They might even retweet it for their followers to see!

Using audio and video is an excellent way to get people to join your list or visit your website. You do want to be sure to post some personal information when you’re networking so people won’t label you a spammer.
