SOCIAL NETWORKING
Twitter is a tool used for many purposes, or just a few. It is up to you to use Twitter as it fits your personal and business needs. Many people find that Twitter is so flexible that it can be easily used for any need, large or small. It seems that one of the most important ways to use Twitter is as a tool to direct traffic to blogs, websites or retail outlets online. It does no matter what your online business is, what you are promoting, or what you are selling. Twitter is an ideal tool for traffic movement.
Twitter can be used to direct traffic to any place online, through the simplistic use of links. Because you do only have 140 characters, you will find that the need to shorten the URL is there, though many of the Twitter apps will do this for you (or you can use a separate, third party provider to create a small URL for you.) Once you know how to use that, here are some tips to help you through the process.
· Be sure to first build up a person online and create a strong group of followers who actually know you before you bombard them with links. You want people to trust you enough to be willing to visit your websites to learn more.
· Do read the rules on sending links through Twitter. While Twitter management has no problem with allowing you to do this, it is important to note that they do not tolerate people who do nothing but spam. Spam on Twitter is anyone that has mostly links in the messages they send out.
· Do use both friendly and professional information in all of your Tweets. If you only post links to your blog, people will easily become bored with it. But, if you throw in a few interesting articles off site or even a few jokes, that will help them to feel more comfortable about visiting you more often. Perhaps one of the most important things to do for yourself on Twitter is to communicate with others and through others.
If you want to really harness the power of Twitter in directing traffic, build up strong relationships and ask followers to re-tweet, or RT, your message out to their followers. This is what really creates that strong traffic increase. Of course, you should always
do this back for your followers, too.
Using Twitter For Feedback
Twitter is a tool that can be used by many people for many reasons. If you are in the internet marketing industry, you may want to consider what Twitter can do for your business. One of the things that is nice about Twitter is that so many people are using it. Even those who are considered top gurus and professionals in the Internet marketing business have signed up for the service and have used it to help promote themselves as top marketing professionals.
This is also a good thing because it brings together the opinions of those who matter (your likely consumers) and those who know more than you (those professional gurus.)
Feedback is obtained through Twitter in many ways. You could ask for a review of your blog, for example. It would be easy for people to click on the link you provide in a Tweet and give you a review of their thoughts and opinions. You could post a link to a blog post you are running at your website that is a poll. People are happen to offer their opinion when they are asked for it and polls make this very easy to accomplish.
You could ask for feedback in your affiliate marketing program. You could request feedback on your marketing strategies. There is no limit to what you can ask for.
What is beneficial about using Twitter for feedback is that you have at your hands the experts and the consumer. You can ask the gurus questions. You can get advice from those who have been in the industry for a dozen years, if you would like to. Most of these people are happen to offer an opinion through Twitter because your followers, and theirs, can see it which means that they may be promoting themselves in return.
In addition to this, you have the potential consumer who can chime in and give you their opinion.
You do not have to guess if the blog is attractive or overwhelming since your potential customer is on Twitter with you, easily available to provide their opinion. You can find out what they respond better to, for example, or ask them how they would feel about one promotion or the other.
With so many people so easily within reach on Twitter, there is no doubt that anyone can benefit from using Twitter as a tool for feedback.
If you have not tried doing so yet, now may be the best time to get started.
