Hi, I'm looking for opinions - what are the main differencies between using Twitter and Facebook to promote a startup? Thanks for replies. EDIT: I mean not PPC, banner advertising or whatever, the question is more about using accounts as it is.
Twitter is quicker to get followers, but they are not as strong relationships. I tend to build my facebook followers through twitter as many people cross promote themselves between the two.
I just started using Twitter & Facebook and find it alot easier compared to Facebook. I think if you are a very "social" person or have alot of "networking" going on - Facebook would probably work best as what the previous poster said - more stable relationships. Try BOTH ways and see what works for you - that is what I am doing. Good luck
Thanks for suggestions, just one more question - are you posting same things to both Twitter and Facebook, or it's different? I saw someone duplicate the same post and others not...
For me, i find it better on Facebook than Twitter. As of now, as a starter, I posts same topics on Twitter and Facebook to gain traffic on my website. It really depends on you if you wanted to post same or different topics or links of your websites especially if you are managing multiple websites then you have to optimize them.
It is much better to concentrate on Facebook, as there are multiple ways to maintain the relations. Also, there is no harm in posting the same content on Twitter as well; it could help in getting more followers soon!
I'll break it down for you. Twitter is about "Followers" and "Interaction". Facebook is about "Likes on Fan Pages" and "Interaction" Simon - You are right - Cross Promotion is KEY!!! If i were you, i would post the same thing on Twitter and Facebook. With Twitter you have to interact with @ Replies to tweets. With Facebook you have to interact with Replies to Comments on your status.
