The objective of this article is to help you learn how to build a large
network of friends,clients,associates,and customers using Twitter.
It is important that you understand that Twitter has grown into an Internet mega monster. You can target global
connections or you can target local traffic. Here’s a helpful free twitter tool grab it now!
POINT #1: Twitter is a fantastic tool for your internet marketing business.
POINT #2: Internet relationships are very different from actual personal relationships. They are
based primarily on like,know,and trust. People will build relationships with you
as you share likes,interests,hobbies,thoughts,and such.
POINT #3: Remember people do business with those they trust
You can create your personal or business brand and virtually dominate your market,
by simply building a list of followers.
Let’s talk about some of the ways you can you achieve this.
Once you’ve set up your Twitter account you will want to work on your profile. This way you can
quickly customize the look and feel of your page. You will want to pay close attention to your one line
bio. Because this is what people will read before they decide whether or not they want to follow you.
You will only have 160 characters to describe who you are and what you do,so you have to make it good!
Ask yourself the following:
“What makes you interesting and unique?”
“Why would I want to get to know me?”
“What makes me unique and interesting?”
Important: Don’t sell yourself short,you are interesting.
The next thing you will want to do is get followers.
1. If you have business contacts that are already using Twitter,invite
them to follow you.
2. Put link’s in your emails,on your websites and blogs
asking people to follow you.
3. You could even put your Twitter url on your business card,so that
you can gather followers offline as well.
POINT #4 Don’t be shy tell everyone you meet about your Twitter page.
Make it sound exciting and let them know that you will be sharing important updates,great tips,
and information with them if they follow you.
You may be surprised to find out that almost everyone will click the follow button just to see what you’re up too!
Another thing that I feel that is important especially for Internet marketers is to seek out and follow the gurus
and the powerful users of Twitter.
This will benefit you in more than one way.
1. It will give you a bird’s eye view of what they’re doing on Twitter,so you
can learn how to improve your own results.
2. It will also put you in front of all the people they are in contact with.
Curiosity,you can’t fight it,so you may as well take advantage of it. People are curious by nature!
They like to see who is following who,so often they will click on the links and check out the followers
of people they know and follow them as well and by following the leaders,so to speak you may naturally end
up with new followers as well.
IMPORTANT: Just try and keep your target market in mind when you choose gurus to follow.
Now let’s talk about meeting even more people and making hundreds of new friends by using ‘re-tweets’.
With this method,you take the original twitter message someone else has posted,and rebroadcast that same
message to your followers.
When broadcasting the message,you should definitely give credit to the original poster.
I know at first it may sound like this will only be good for the original tweeter, but re-tweeting can actually
benefit you just as much if not more because;
1. It provides more value to your followers.
When you provide value to your followers,you make them happy! You are also more likely to attract followers.
Providing quality content is always a great way to build your business no matter what platform you use.
2. It will benefit your brand.
If you point a reader to a source if good information that is truly relevant and beneficial to them,the amount
of trust that they have in you will increase.
3. It will help you build relationships with the original posters.
Re-tweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness,and for the most part bloggers like to return the favor.
You shouldn’t expect someone to re-tweet your content just because you re-tweet theirs.
Just keep in mind that your chance of being on the other end of a re-tweet increases as you re-tweet.
POINT #5 Re-tweeting is all about providing value to your followers so if you want others to re-tweet
your post then you want to make sure that you are providing them with quality content worth tweeting about.
The bottom line is re-tweeting is a great way to add quality and value to your Twitter page.
POINT #6 If done right,re-tweeting can help you educate your followers, build your personal brand,
increase future traffic,and connect you to other great people in your niche.
IMPORTANT: Just be careful if you use it incorrectly,re-tweeting can actually hurt your personal brand
and future traffic. You want to treat your followers like gold. Don’t ever send them to inappropriate
websites or spam them with one sales pitch after another.
POINT #7 Remember you want them to like what you have to say, so they will follow your lead. Then when
you do recommend something to them you will get the results you are looking for every time!
Now,take action,go to Twitter and start building your followers by providing them with great content
that they will love you for!
