The Twitter Marketing Strategy

Every business needs a marketing strategy. Here’s some simple twitter

marketing strategy you can immediately learn and apply to your business to

start growing it immediately:

Who do you want to reach on Twitter? Be specific and limit your scope to the

demographic you really need – Don’t try and hit everything that moves!

Look up at least 10 of your customers on Twitter (a quick name search on

Google can turned up their Twitter profiles). Once you’ve found some, look

at who they’re following and who they talk to. These people could also

become part of your audience. See how they describe themselves and the

keywords they use.

The goal here is not to find everyone you’d like to interact with (that would

probably be next to impossible), but to find people who might fit into your

audience. Try to lookout for important people in your audience.

Understand their language- You need to understand how your audience

talks, what they like, and what they share. Look up what people are saying

about your company. Are they saying good things or bad things? Are they

asking for advice about what product or company to choose or are they

giving feedback?

Do the same for your competitors. Note if your competitors are jumping in

or influencing any of these conversations.

Notice tonality- Are they generally formal or informal? This will be very

different depending on the companies you are tracking and the people you

attract. It’s always good to match the tone of your audience.

Also, look at what your audience shares and retweets. What kinds of links

and articles do they like? What kinds of terms and ideas get them excited or

annoyed?

Finally, don’t forget to set a goal and track your progress. Determine what

you want to achieve within your community and monitor your progress –

it’s the surefire way to success!

Integrating Twitter With Other Websites

You can actually integrate Twitter with a variety of social platforms and your

website to create buzz and a huge following.

One of these places is your blog. I love blogs. You can add a “Tweet This”

plugin at the end of every blog posts so to ease the sharing of your great

content with others. One good plugin I use is ShareThis which incorporates

not just Twitter, but also Facebook, Emails, Digg, Reddit etc.

Besides that, you can add a “Follow Me On Twitter” button on the side bar

of your blog so you can get more followers. Vice-versa, you can tweet

followers

What about Facebook? If you got a Fan page budding with fans, you can

encourage them to add you on Twitter. You can also install an app where

your Facebook content automatically gets tweeted so that you can lead your

Twitter followers to your Facebook fan page and vice versa – Isn’t technology

wonderful?

One more thing worthy to mention, is using your Twitter account as your

signature wherever you go – Name cards, forums, commenting on blogs –

All these are places where you can build a following and get more customers.

Advanced Twitter Tricks

Here’s a couple of advanced twitter tricks you can learn and apply

immediately:

1. Tweet 125 characters instead of 140: Although you can now tweet more

than 140 characters, the whole purpose of Twitter is the short messages.

Shorten your tweets to 125 (or shorter if you can) to encourage easy re-tweets

and added comments.

2. Try Friendfeed for finding tweets- Friendfeed is a very good resource for

searching for old tweets. Twitter Search only goes back a few weeks, but

Friendfeed allows you to search back much older tweets.

3. Use Groups to organize your Twitter: Even when you are following a large

number of twitter users, you really pay close attention to only a sum of their

tweets. By creating groups in your Twitter client, you have a columns for

those tweets that are really important.

4. Don’t Use & in Your Twitter Profile: For some reason, the “&” symbol

doesn’t get along well with Twitter and won’t be displayed properly...

Twitter Mistakes To Avoid

Twitter can be a great way to get more followers. That is if you do things

correctly. If you make these silly mistakes, you’ll end up doing more harm

than good:

 1. Ranting or blabbing on your business Twitter account

 2. Randomly following twitter users just to increase one’s number of

followers.

 3. Be inactive after you’ve garnered a following.

 4. Don’t ever brag too much and provide zero value.

 5. Do not expect to be re-tweeted if you do not re-tweet in return.

 6. Do not take your followers for granted.

 7. Spamming is a huge no-no

 8. Using default avatars such as the egg.

 9. Do not EVER use generic backgrounds.

 10. Don’t use Twitter to stalk or harm others.

In short, stay away from these Twitter mistakes and you’ll be on the pathway

to twitter success! Remember, treat others like how you would like to be

treated. Which in this case means constantly striving to give quality content.

Wrapping Up

Twitter can help your business grow in terms of building rapport with your

audience, increasing your customer base, and helping the spread of

information to your market at a faster pace.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, the same way building a strong twitter following

doesn’t happen in an instant. However, if you diligently practice these

twitter marketing methods, it is 100% that you will be soon bringing in

streams of steady traffic into your business.

The best way for success in twitter marketing is by eliminating what fails to

work and trying new stuff to see what really works.

Once you have found what works best for your business, replicate and

multiply your efforts and in no time you’ve built yourself a solid business

empire streaming with thousands of followers.

I wish you all the best in your Twitter marketing endeavors!
