Twitter Marketing

Hi there,

Twitter is good for keeping in contact with people and if you can build a list of targeted followers then you can promote your website.

I use Twitter as part of an integrated marketing strategy together with RSS feeds and Facebook and find it to be quite effective.

If you can find targeted people and build a good relationship with them through your Tweets then you should do ok.

All the best

Twitter is a quite good traffic source in some niches, in others I think it is a waste of time to try to promote.

Twitter is also a nice way to build a list, you can send your Twitter traffic to your squeeze page, offer to them something for free and build a list that way. Twitter traffic is not in the buying mode, they are not really interested in buying anything (in most cases), so sending them to a free CPA offer or a squeeze page is better.

Iriss, you really shared a good amount of data here. Judging by what you posted here, Twitter has really helped you a lot, and it's kinda surprising that it even gave you AdSense clicks.

When people talk about Twitter, I look at it as how it was originally used: an online SMS-like service. I'm limited to 140 characters, I have the chance to talk to people, and I can create a list of contacts.

Hi there
Twitter IS a very good marketing tool. I have a few accounts for different nichs, also good for getting friends, leads etc in Facebook and pther social media etc.
I have over 20,000 follows in total over a few accounts so one can use this for list building too

Twitter is a great tool if you want search engines to index your site and backlinks quickly.

If you want to use it as a marketing tool, you need to find people who are interested in your niche, share valuable information to your followers, and share your links only occasionally. The more information you give people to relate to, the more followers you will have. You could tell them that more details can be found on your site, but don't do hard selling.

All the best!

I was a Twitter illiterate until I stumbled across this thread. Thank you!

Yeah you can get traffic from Twitter. People will follow you as soon as you join twitter. If your profile suggests that you're an internet marketer, but you have posted no tweets as of yet... people will still follow you... with 0 tweets! You can't live off this though. You should sync your EzineArticles account (if you have one) with Twitter to have each of your articles sent to Twitter as a tweet for your followers.

Yes it is possible for you to promote your websites, as long you build a target list of followers first. Make sure that you always give value to your followers in order to see greater results in marketing your product using Twitter.

I am curious what people most often post in their tweets..how can a company write tweets that are relevant but not dry?

It depends on the type of niche, but you can start a twitter account and put your website URL in the bio at the top.

Next begin tweeting every time you make a useful post and link to that post on your site.

Make sure to include other social media buttons on your site as well.

Now begin following people in your niche based on targeted keywords. If people don't follow back within a day or two, unfollow them so you have room to follow more again without going over the limit.

I use tweetadder to automate the follow/unfollow part, but there are other free solutions out there.

Your goal is to get people to your site so they can learn more about you from your content and then hopefully opt in to your email list.

you may use Twitter apps for promotion of your website. Try apps like easyretweet.com,justretweet.com,retweet.it They bring good traffic

LOL John.. there are much faster ways to gain real followers. Tweet Attacks has a free version, if you just want to use it for following/unfollowing.

Just use it to follow the users that follow one of your competitors, OR you can follow from a search result (your keyword/niche)

You can also use advanced geotargeting, if you need followers that live within a certain distance of a location. This comes in handy when promoting CPA offers since most networks have restrictions based on the visitor's country.

If you have any questions feel free to hit me up, my girl is watching Jersey Shore (blah...) so I'm free. haha

Use it to network, connect and build relations with people. Target specific people in your niche and help them, retweet them, promote them; most people will return the favour.

If you have a blog post a link on twitter. Don't promote offers to your followers. They will unfollow you fast. Twitter lets people know when have something important to announce.

Twitter is an awesome tool, but it must be used correctly. You want to get to know people. Attend forums, reward those who retweet you or comment on your tweets as quickly as possible.

But, Twitter can be frustrating. There are tons of spammers. I have just started Google+ and I have twice as much interaction with my 180 followers as I do with my 10,000 Twitter followers.

Best advice; interact with people. Invite them to facebook, Linked In, Google +...and build a relationship there. Twitter is for meeting people...it is tough to build relationships there.

I used twitter on one of my first really big sites, and it helped a lot. Not only traffic, but twitter really helped me get indexed extremely quick. Not to mention retweets bringing in viral traffic and such. I remember jumping from 50 visitors a day to 15,000 overnight

Twitter is excellent if you can get the right kind of followers to follow you... incidentally the easiest followers to get are those who want to grow their followers, so if you have a product or ebook that helps people grow their followers, with the right Tweets, it's not that difficult to make some money... TweetAttacks can help here...

JohnH- Twitter is great. However, don't tweet links only to your own stuff. Try tweeting 65% valuable links to other sites, 25% to your own blogs and sites, and the rest personal observations and humorous stuff ("that was the biggest hamburger I ever ate!").

I've never had much success with Twitter but I know it works as my brother is killin' it with Twitter.

I just started using Twitter to promote my site (not a product). I currently have 1200 + untargeted followers. Every time I post something to the site, it gets slapped on twitter. So far so good. We got 10 new members in the last month but they are inactive members. Kind of lurkers if you will.

I suppose if I keep building the list and keep posting that number will go up?

If you want to KILL IT with Twitter this is how it is done:

Fact: Most of the the people on twitter are blundering idiots and the conversion ratio on these knuckleheads is low.

You DO NOT use them to go to your site to buy something.

Here is exactly what you do and I have TENS of thousands of top 10 rankings for keyword phrases in my niches because I do this:

Get all of your keyword phrases in urls off of your domain (blahblah.com/keywordphrase1.htm, blahblah.com/kwphrase2.htm etc)

You then get software like TA and BLAST twitter people to those links. This skyrockets those links to the top of the SERPS.

Works every time

^ Kind of.. but the "blasting" part needs to be done in a realistic sort of way.

For example, its MUCH more realistic that thousands of people are RE-tweeting a message and link to their followers because they like it, than it is for thousands of people to be tweeting the exact same thing.

Spinning the tweets & URL's will definitely help if you're doing the latter, but retweets seem to hold more authority in SERPs. Its like the more "users" who retweet a link to their followers, the better search engines "think" it is, so they give them a higher ranking.

The people who bash Twitter and go around saying it doesnt work just gave up too soon.. Nothing is instantaneous. Sure, I bet Bill Gates could throw together a new computer in under 20 minutes, but think about how long it took him to get there.

Nothing worth having comes easy. Trust me on that.. lol

^ I get thousands of twitter people a day to my sites and not a shot is fired. NO RT's, no tweet, no nothing.

Just follow them with a kick ass teaser bio and watch them flow down the street chasing the pied piper

lol yea, theres a ton of ways to get traffic on there. But I was talking about the SEO aspect of the site.

Also, I'm guessing you mean you just put your link as the profile's home page and then follow targeted users, right?

If so, that works too.. lol like I said there are a ton of ways to do it. Only problem I have with that method is that the accounts can easily be linked to each other, since they have that same home page. Its just not realistic.

But anyway as far as SEO on Twitter, the more users re-tweeting a link the better.

Think about it like this - You have 11 accounts, 10 of them have 5,000 TARGETED followers for your niche and the last one is your main account. You can tweet your link from the main account, then re-tweet that message and link with the remaining 10 accounts - INSTANTLY promoting your site to 50,000 TARGETED people. And keep in mind, you CAN use advanced geo-targeting, among other features, on Twitter to build those followers.

And it looks a hell of a lot more realistic to the mods.

First Search here on Warriors for tweeternaire it's great once you learn to use it responsibly you will make great gains.

You can buy promo (not followers) from famous acc, lets say 2 RTS and 1S/O. This promo will get you a targeted followers.

Make sure you post and link to relevant content everyday. Join a few free twitter sites like Twellow, Twibes, or Social Oomph to get more followers for free, and to automate emailing your followers about your product immediately after they follow you.

Well.....i have bad experience with twitter. The traffic from twitter is really worthless. it only worth if you monetizing you website with adsense. Instead if you focus on facebook, you will get better result.

First of all , create user name as your Targeted keyword for your Twitter User name. And Promote your twitter using website name and update your status regularly. You will get good back links to your site.

Twitter is only as useful as the way it is used. There are generally two schools of thought when it comes to twitter. Some people are using it for SEO related purposes, whereas others are using it for direct affiliate marketing purposes.

I would say both are equally effective, just so long as one focuses on posting great content on Twitter so that the followers one has are genuine and interested in whatever niche your account is based on.

Twitter is a great marketing tool, and if one uses it properly, it can increase his or her income exponentially.

I will give you a great example and a name I advertised just to see what it would briing in.

I started this name about 2 weeks ago and worked it about a week with tweeternaire
just100aday
I have over a thousand followers
I searched for exactly what I wanted. "work at home" "make money online" ect.
Takes me about 15 minutes to work a day with my software. I have a 16 percent click rate on this one name.

When advertising it I was offered 225 just the way it sits.

Now I didnt at first shield out no avatar and tweeters with less than 100 followers, which I am now doing.

You can make money from twitter in many different ways. I would also be willing to put tweeternaire up against any of the other programs.

I will tell you just one feature.
If I want to check tweets on twitter.
I can type "make money at home" or whatever I want, it will give me back what has been tweeted, then I can market to these specific tweets.

A better example is if I'm selling ipads and someone tweets I want an ipad I can send them an offer.

I will back twitter any day and tweeternaire too.

I have names with 60,000 members I have built and I continue to build them. I have not a single one I have used tweeternaire for that got banned because I use it responsibly.

Work out your niche..... Search hot trends in your niche.... post relevant content and Do NOT Forget to mark # with the Keyword..... Be Consistent and interact with relevant people.... You will start getting the results.... Do not just force or Present tweets like a Marketer but be a consumer and advocate of a product ... Be ORGANIC....

Only when you have build trust with your tweets then only you can promote your products. It will take time before people trust you. 99% of your time with twitter is to communicate and not selling.

better as a social tool. Don't like it myself for marketing

I also turn to Twitter when I promote my website. What I do is I signed up for Google News. Whenever I receive updates on trending topics relative to my business, I link it to my Twitter since my followers are in the same industry as I am anyway. In that way, they are updated as well. Then I can squeeze in a word about my business and direct them to my professional website.

Twitter is good to get the word out and let the people know what you are doing, but for generating leads and sales is a waste of time in my opinion. I never met anybody who made a lot of money with twitter. Personally I never made a dime. I think you should put more efforts into list building, because email marketing is a 100 time more successful model than any social media.

Most definitely it is a great way to not only promote your site but continue to engage your community and keep your clients.

I think, if the time that we spent on twitter or any social media would be invested into building a list and email marketing, our businesses would triple. In my experience twitter is a waste of time. Sorry.

I don't think Twitter marketing is effective at all. It leads to a lot of spam.

There are a ton of ways to get more twitter followers. If you have a blog, you should set it up where every time you make a blog post, it gets instantly sent to twitter. Also, do the same thing with your Ezinearticles.com account. Strive to build a relationship with your followers, and encourage them to come back to your website by offering something for free.

Definitely. Twitter is one of my main traffic sources.

It's the easiest way to build a social following.

Hi,

Twitter is a nice way to build a list of promotion to your web sites...you need to find people who are interested in your niche.... share valuable information to your followers in twitter...

If you have a good amount of followers that would be actual clients, then go for it! If not, keep on building on your list!

twitter works if you can spend time following people. dont just spam, but make sure to interact with them.

Twitter is a great way to get traffics to your website even though you don't have a lot of followers. One great way you can get extra viewer is by adding a # signs in front of keywords that relevant to your site

I think like anything else that Traffic is king. You just need to know how to handle it.
