You know how important social media is to your success as an Internet Marketer. Several social sites have emerged as dominant, and Twitter is certainly one of the leaders. Its only real competition is Facebook, and these sites are different enough that there's room for both. Having a Twitter account is something that every Internet Marketer must have. More importantly, a Twitter following is something that every Internet Marketer must build. There are some steps that can help you build up a Twitter following fairly fast. So let's look into how you can attract a large and targeted following on Twitter.
One mistake that people make is tweeting everything they do everyday. If you have a personal Twitter account, this type of activity is okay. When you are running a professional account, you need to keep your most professional foot forward.
It is imperative that you avoid talking about how your ice cream tasted, or why you hate the color red. Don't tell people about every thought you have and definitely don't tweet about your Klout score. Tweeting should always be professional at all times. Save the personal for your personal account. By doing this, your followers will be very happy. Every time you tweet, add a hash tag relevant to your topic. Simply enter a hash sign, followed by the word or phrase you want, without any spaces between. The end result should #looklikethis. It is how people who are looking for certain topics in Twitter will find your tweets. Try to use relevant hash tags that contain phrases others will be likely to use if they're trying to find your business. It's a brilliant way to attract new followers, but you can use it yourself to begin conversations, too. It also gives you a way to show that you understand how to use your Twitter account.
Be aware that anything you tweet is immediately made public - with the exception of direct messages. Essentially, people can check your profile page and read your previous tweets, as well as see any @ replies you made in the past. This should be a good enough reason to ensure that your whole Twitter feed isn't focused on just sales-related posts. It's better to have conversations and to share information - even when it won't directly lead to sales - than it is to be overly pushy in your sales pitch. People are more likely to avoid you instead of following you if you show them a feed full of nothing more than sales messages.
Twitter is a huge network that's only getting bigger. No matter what you are promoting online, it can be advantageous to use Twitter to reach out to people. Yet it's not enough just to have a Twitter account, as you also have to know how to make the most of it. Use the tips we've talked about here to help build your foundation. Then as you use the system more, you'll come up with a lot more ways to grow your following and use Twitter to your advantage.
