Hi PIPSters, Just want to give some tips about Twitter. I have been using Twitter for a while and got into the Top 5 of Singapore Twitters! Thank God for that~ Anyway, I made a couple of videos so far and I'd like to share them with you guys. I'll post them below this. Here are some tips to help you with your Twitter account: 1. Use a real picture 2. Have open tweets with other people 3. Follow the followers of the people you admire or respect 4. Interact with people 5. Get a custom background - anything other than the default background is good 6. Contribute useful stuff to your followers, don't try to sell or get them to "buy" your stuff or "try out" your program. 7. Have fun! Asher |

That's a very valid concern. With regards to this, it is really about how you want to play the social marketing game. If you want to build up a list of really good Twitter followers, you need to feed them well - just like how you treat your own list. The only difference is that it is out in the open. Also, think of it as a free marketing strategy. When you use free strategies, it's beneficial that you get tons of people to market to. So in response to you about how well it converts, there are a few factors to consider. 1. Is the follower interested in that niche? 2. Have you been connecting with him/her? 3. Did you answer questions? The lowest conversation rates are always due to no-relations kind... however, if there's a genuine relation, then conversions will skyrocket. Twitter is another one of the marketing tools which you can use for free to get lots of targeted people to follow you and build up your own list from there. Hope this helps! Asher | |

I just try to give what I've got back here instead I'm sure everyone enjoys the great tips you have about blogging! No problem Tal, in fact, I'd like to hear your thoughts on article marketing - seeing as how many articles you already have online Maybe a seperate thread because article marketing is definitely a great way to get traffic.

Here's some validation to why being active on Twitter can be productive. Most of my updates have NOT been business related since I believe that pushing a product constantly leads to the "used car salesman" mentality - sell, sell, sell and people will avoid you. Just see what topics are of interest and try to contribute. What happens? I have had 26 visits to my website due to followers clicking on the link in my profile! Not a flood of visitors mind you, but with just over 1,000 followers it's a work in progress. Don't hang out forever either since there are more productive ways of bringing traffic to your site but make your visits quality contributions and you too will probably see some followers coming by your site.

tips on how you can use Twitter to drive people back to your site - tweet people to your blog posts where you offer good stuff. That way, you can send people to your site and read your blog post. If they like it, they can subscribe to you (make sure you have a subscribe form!) That way, you get traffic to your site, you have people reading, you may get conversions and also, you can have a happy follower. Win-win-win situation! 26 clicks is a good start but keep sending great information - it'll be a great help to your business and your followers. Asher | |
