Twitter question

by Biggy Fat

Hello World. I now understand how to generate traffic with Twitter, but my main question is how to use Twitter to jump from niche to niche. Do I use one Twitter profile for all the niches I jump in or create new Twitter profiles for each niche? I'm thinking the latter because you can build up followers in one niche and be successful, then build up followers in another niche but the followers in the first niche will start to get tweets about the second niche as well. Hope that isn't confusing. Anyway, which is it?

    If your smaller niches are all related, one account will probably be fine. (For instance, if you're in the internet marketing niche and you have several smaller niches related within the internet marketing field.) However, if your niches are targeting completely different markets, you'll probably benefit by having more than one profile. You can use tweet3 to manage more than one account.

    Even one account would work I would look at separate ones and target twitter followers based on a more specific topic of interest.

    Say I had a Web Design niche, I would then also have accounts specifically for Wordpress, Joomla, etc. To target those guys specifically. I may even have a third over seeing account that holds all/most of the users also.

    I know the hardcore marketers will agree that you should have separate Twitter accounts for separate niches, but I have just one account and I deliberately don't stay focused on my niche.

    I tweet all sorts of stuff - anything that looks interesting from politics to whatever.

    The reason I do that is because I think it makes me more 'real' as a person on Twitter. No one has only one interest - so why limit yourself to one interest online?

    I know - the marketers will say it's because you're being focused.

    But another part of being successful online is being real - which builds trust and longer term relationships.

    So I try to be as real as I can.

    I'm very happy indeed with the way it's working for me, although since I haven't tried the other way I can't tell you which is more successful

    Cheers,

    Martin.

    The danger of one account is that you're putting all of your eggs in one basket. What if something happens to that account? For example, someone at Twitter decides to suspend you because they think you're tweeting too many of your own links?

    Or what if you say something to people in one niche that offends the people in the others? For example, you're likely to incite a flame war if you say something good about Oracle to Mysql people these days.

    It takes so little work to build up a large following in a niche that it just doesn't make sense to place all your bets on a single account.
