Marketing on Twitter the Right Way

By Josh Martin


If you have a business or product you want to promote it's important to follow some guidelines when you're marketing on Twitter.

Twitter is quickly becoming a phenomenon that's changing the world as we know it. In an instant you can tell people all over the world what you are up to. If you are watching tv, hanging with friends, traveling the world, have a business to market, or just want to be your goofy self, Twitter is the place to make yourself known to millions of people.

Just think about how many tweets people see on a daily basis. What are you going to write about that's going to grab peoples attention and get them listen to what you have to say?

It's okay to regularly post about your business opportunity or product that you are promoting but make sure your tweets stay fresh, interesting, and provide value to your followers. If you post the same old tweets your followers will become uninterested and you will lose credibility.

When you marketing on Twitter make sure that you offset your business tweets with personal tweets. Don't become know as the "mlm pitcher."

People are interested in knowing the real you. They don't care about your business. That's why you want to be yourself, have fun, and be interesting.

Remember that 140 characters is not much space to share information, so make sure that you don't bore your audience to sleep.

It's okay to post this content but make sure you post more interesting Tweets as well.

When marketing on Twitter a good guideline to follow is 1 business tweet for every 3 tweets you post. So for every 3 content tweets you would post 1 business tweet. Only send out 5-6 tweets per day.

If you follow these guidelines, your posts will stay fresh and your followers won't think you are being a cheesy salesperson.

Make sure you post your Twitter link on your website, blog, email signatures, and social media websites. The more places you post your twitter link, the more followers you will get. Remember that the more followers you have, the more people will see your messages.

I highly recommend avoiding the use of automatic Twitter services that offer mass tweeting and bulk followers if you don't want to have your account banned.

There are some sites like Tweetlater, and Just Unfollow that are legitimate sites. Just make sure that if you are going to use these kinds of sites, do your research on them first to make sure they are legitimate.

You want to take every precaution possible to make sure that your Twitter account doesn't get banned.

Marketing on Twitter the right way is a great way to build credibility for you and your business. If you do it right Twitter can provide your business with a tremendous amount of leads.

Remember to be always be yourself, be consistent, be interesting, follow the proper rules of engagement, and Twitter will be a tremendous marketing resource. Are you the next Twitter marketing rockstar? If so, prove it. Go out there and start tweeting! Watch out Ashton Kutcher!
