Social Networking Strategies – Tips For Twitter Marketing Success
If you are brand new to marketing and promoting your business online or are just now getting around to setting up a Twitter account to socialise your business, it may seem a bit daunting when you create your account and nothing happens. It is very easy to see results from Twitter in a short amount of time.
If you haven’t already created your account, do so now. Use your real name, or a variation of your real name is yours is already taken or you may use your business name. You want to establish right from the start that you are trustworthy and not a spammer.
Next, you want to fill out your bio and add a picture of yourself, preferably smiling. People want to see who they are doing business with. Believe it or not, a candid shot will generate higher conversions than a slick professional photo.
Your bio should be catchy and personable while at the same time let people know what you do. Your bio might read something like: “My wife, my kids and even my dog think I am a nerd, but I love them anyway. My nerdiness has lead me to be the owner of a successful business selling computers and peripherals.” This is an effective bio because it is humorous, tells a little about the person and tells you what his business is about. Pair it with a candid snap of him at his computer and you have a winning bio.
Now that you have your bio filled out, you have to start interacting. But, unless you already know business associates and customers on Twitter, you might not know where to begin. You should avoid just adding family and friends to your business Twitter account. Keep a separate account for personal use. This one is for your business only.
Here are tips to get you going in the right direction to successfully marketing on Twitter. Simple Steps To Twitter Success:
Talk it up. Start a conversation with a few of the celebrity followers. To do this, you just put an @ in front of the users name to direct a post to them. You might make a post something like this, “@loves2cook I see you also follow Jamie Oliver. He is one of my fave chefs.” Then you click to follow the person you are having the conversation with. Chances are very good that they will, in turn, follow you. By sending a simple little message before clicking the follow button, you have dramatically increased the chances that they will add you to their follow list. When first starting out, you should do at least 5 -10 of these interactions per day. Now anytime you make a post, your posts will appear on those followers’ pages which will be seen by anyone who is following them.
Sharing is Caring. Surf the net and find at minimum of 5 pieces of very useful free information or hot news that is related to your market and Tweet them to your account. This will send the message to your followers that you are not a spammer and that you have knowledge or are a source of news that interests them. It might be a free tool, a cool video, a news headline, an information website, etc. Just make sure it is the best stuff you can find. Share some of your own knowledge. Give free tips, etc. The more valuable the information you share, the more likely your followers will pass it along to their friends and so on and so on. This is the ultimate word of mouth advertising. Do 5-10 of these types of posts per day.
There you have it, those steps will give you Twitter success and generate traffic to your website. Of course you know, the more traffic you get to your website, the more sales you will make. The nice thing about Twitter marketing is that it is 100% free of charge and the visitors to your website are targeted buyers.
