A Guide To Making Money With Twitter
Below are some things you should remember when using Twitter as a marketing tool…
- Do not just advertise, talk to your followers
Although it is common to see, you should not just post links in your status update box. It is true that this is a form of advertising, but it is certainly not as effective as verbally selling a product to potential customers. If you want to efficiently market or sell products through using social networking channels such as Twitter, you need to first build up a network of people who know you and trust you, only then will they feel comfortable about purchasing good through you.
- Market products or services that your followers need
It is of paramount importance that you select a product to market that you know your potential customer would actually be prepared to buy, it is a common and fatal mistake not to research this simple point. The easiest way to research what your audience want is to ask them! Find out what product or services they want, then find the products or services to meet their needs.
- Choose quality over quantity
It is not difficult to get thousands of followers on Twitter. In fact, if you have use certain tools and scripts then you could probably get a few hundred Twitter followers in just a few hours. However, marketing through Twitter is not a numbers game. You are much better to have 10 followers who you have a real relationship with than 100 followers who you have no relationship with. If you do not really know somebody who you are following, then you are unlikely to take any notice of their tweets. This is why adding hundreds of followers will not help you market products.
By following the above guidelines you can join the many, many other people who are making money on Twitter right now. You will probably not make any money for at least a few weeks, but within a month, if you do things properly, you should see some money coming in. Within a few months, you should be earning enough to pay for your vacations, and within a year you may well be earning enough to give up your full-time job.
