5 tweets to 15,000 followers ads service, What do you think?

13 replies
This is the description of the service from the seller:

"I will post 5 Ads of your product, service or business to my 15,000 followers on Twitter. My followers consist mainly of Internet Marketers and Home Business Owners."

I wander whether this service could be effective or not. I'm not sure. I have a site for sale, if I want to drive some traffic to my auction page, will I get good result from this service?

What do you think? Please give me some advice.Thanks.

    It is really hard to say, there are people with 15 K followers, none of which are active Twitter users who really use it, and there are people with 15 K followers who hang on every post of the people they follow. Chances are if the person doing your ads are just posting ads, they have a bunch of spam users following them and they look "important"

    I have a Twitter account with 6,000 followers. I have yet to find a way to make money from that.

    What I want to say: Fugetaboutit. Twitter is for them birds as far driving traffic to web sites or selling stuff.

    Every Twitter account is different.

    There is lots of money to be made on twitter if done right.

    From my own trail and error I would say that most people who are selling Tweets have account that do not have buyers.

    The people must be online to see the tweet before it gets lost in timelines. I have 13K followers and the conversion is very small to none. 100K followers is better and you want to the tweet to go when most people are online. Weekends seem to work best. Sales pitches rarely work. Send them to a blog post.

    All I can say is test and track everything. If you're promoting any offer, give a free gift that leads into it with a squeeze page and track your conversions.

    If you have control over the tweets too, use a hashtag with the category of your offer (for example, #internetmarketing) in that tweet, with your tracker link and 5 variations of your tweet.

    Depending on the cost, you're probably better off sending out a cheap solo ad on a free ad site.

    Twitter is starting to work for me, but I still wouldn't pay for tweets personally. Get Tweet Adder for $55 and build your own following to a virtually unlimited level using the keyword function and build your email list. In my opinion, that would be more cost effective.

    He probably will be posting to 15K spammers and bots. I would pass.

    I make money from Twitter and the conversion rate isn't great. The best thing to do is to send potential buyers to a free good value offer on your blog and then capture them on your list or write a good detailed review or tutorial about an affiliate product.

    I ran some experiments recently where I focused on selling 2 really good affiliate products. Ubot Studio and Magix video editor. I created a Twitter Account creator tutorial for Ubot and did a review of the latest version of Magix video editor on my blog.

    Within 2 weeks I took $200 in sales...which was pretty cool as I'd never made an affiliate sale before as I and usually concentrate on selling own software. The only method of promotion I used was twitter and pingfm and it worked well. In the image below you can see the clicks I tracked with a simple url shortener.



    Now considering I only sent these links out to 2 twitter accounts, then I think you'll agree that the conversions were pretty good. Notice for the magix review I only got 193 clicks...but I took 2 sales and for the Ubot tutorial I had 172 clicks and also 2 sales.

    I think the success I had was purely down to the fact that I have a passion for both of the applications and I think this came across in my blog posts. I also believe that using video works really well when making blog posts and does wonders for keeping people engaged.

    So to sum up...if the quality of the Twitter accounts is good and you are sending the user to some good valuable content...then yes it does work.

    Cheers

    Rob

    here I will let you in on a little secret.

    Half of them would be fake traffic.

    The other half probably do have nice lists, but what if that twitter group was about dog training, and you are blasting an IM product link. Silly and a waist of money but totally up to you.

    You will want high targeted traffic not crappy stuff.
