    Marketing on Twitter is very very powerful if done right. You can reach thousands & thousands of people and it's all for free.

    There are many fortune 500 companies that use Twitter these days to reach out to their market. Why are you over-whelmed? Twitter marketing is not that hard, it may look hard at first but once you sit down and really just look at it for a few hours, it's not that hard.

    The benefits are you can send out a tweet at any time and you know it will get out to your list. If you sent out an e-mail to your list you have to make sure it will get past many common spam filters that are employed these days. Also it costs $20 a month to use Aweber or a company like it, Twitter marketing is all free :)

    there are 3 steps you need to do to make your twitter marketing successful. But they all must be done at the same time.

    1. a viral tweet
    2. the tweet must encourage others to retweet
    3. the first tweet must go out to thousands of people

    For step 3, you must go to sponsoredtweets.com
    There you will find legitimate people who will tweet for a fee.

    Hope this helps.

    Just build a huge group if followers within your niche then tweet and re-tweet but keep it professional and friendly!

    The reason I felt "overwhelmed" is that if not done in a limited or planned fashion twitter could take all a person's time. Sort of like these people who spend all day on messenger programs speaking to all their "friends"
    For a local hotel, that I do Search Engine work for , how would a twitter campaign be planned ,set up and focused ?

    thank you

    One of the things we do is tweet updates to our clients, and sometimes they'll retweet our discount code tweets to their followers.

    I got the idea to do discount codes from GoDaddy and Namecheap, who use them expertly

    Twitter is very useful social network site. Using hash tags you can reach potential customer. 70% of small business are on twitter now, so if your business is not present on twitter properly you are losing some potential customers.

    Few days ago I started a 2 month campaign with http://allmarketingtrends.com and got ROI within 15 days. So twitter marketing is very effective for me.

    twitter is hard work, you need to follow 10000 to gain 900 users roughly so you really need to follow, then unfollow. it takes time or a team of people just following and unfollowing. i do find however twitter moves a bit fast so your advertising needs to be often and pretty or it goes unnoticed.

    however twitter is amazing, i am looking into this twitter card thing at the moment.

    I would say the three main benefits are:
    1. the possibility of getting more clients and building a solid audience.
    2. strengthen your branding.
    3. build a good reputation.

    Hi all, I think Twitter is the great and one of the best social networks. It is awesome and powerful place to market on, reach out the right audience for promotion, share with a lot of interesting posts and make your offer popular.
