If you are into internet marketing you’re probably using Twitter as tool with the purpose to increase your site popularity. This because increasing exposure to your business is the best way to increase sales to your business and Twitter is a great way to get massive exposure.
However, there are many marketers that still don’t understand the Twitter potentiality and how effectively using it to their advantage.
In my view, Twitter is by far the best internet marketing tools to increase my site-traffic and this is why I always keep this tool between my favorite. The first thing anyone do when start with Twitter is to increase the number of twitter followers. Well, There are a few ways that can help you to simplify this process:
1. no follows = People don’t follow – When you starting with Twitter, there’s a time where your account go through the inevitable growing pains to increasing the numbers of Twitter followers.
It’s very hard start to get visitors when you have zero followers and you need to get a good number of followers quickly because with zero followers is negative social proof.
My advice are: Once you built a real follower base(150 or more) you can use other methods to increase the number of followers you have. Remember, people don’t want to follow someone with no followers.
2. Have you started to think in tweets – Content will play a very crucial role in your success in Twitter. Usually Twitters make Tweets like “I’m watching TV” or “I’m cooking”, etc. It’s all ok, but you should also keep trend in mind. An useful Twitter tool that can help you to make this is twist that allows you to compare various topics, in order to be updated about what’s is trend on Twitter.
3. Get exposure for your Tweets - If you’ve a problem to finding an audience and increase your followers, then a solution could be that to Twitter Tools WordPress Plugin by Alex King that allows you to pull your tweets into your blog and create new tweets on blog posts and from within WordPress.
4. Branding – One things I noticed when surf around Twitter is that there are a large number of users who are still running the default Twitter icon. The first thing you should do when you set up a Twitter account is upload your photo in your Tweet in order to have a branding to it. Also, another thing you should do is adding a custom background.
