Hello everybody, I really dont understand the hype around twitter and the talks about how much money you can get with it and so on. Acctually, after all the talk I tried to get some more followers and now I am at around 1000. Guess what happens when I send a tweet with a link inside: Nothing. People are ignoring all the thousands of tweets they get from all the members. And you know what, those tweets werent "I want to make a lot of money" tweets. These were simply some interesting links like a very funny video on youtube I found (yes, I checked the views of that video after that tweet!) I want to hear your experience with it, well, acctually, I again got another email where some internet guru claims to use twitter and makes insane money with it. He tries to sell a twitter course for only $199 btw, lol. Thanks and regards
To develop a brand on Twitter is a skill I have yet to develop. On the other hand though, bringing your established market towards Twitter is a fantastic trailblazing idea. Make sure the account is not TOO obvious for monetization only, this really turns off the actual consumers on Twitter. Post real, relevant data and focus heavily on marketing/advertising and above all make it interesting and you will get a legitimate following on Twitter. P.S. There are tons of griscap (...you'll get it if you think about it) tactics available to get a HUGE network on Twitter very quickly, but I highly discourage using these methods on a network that is still constantly evolving its security network and has a pretty high emphasis on protecting information privacy along with protecting high profile accounts.
Twitter is just another method to generate traffic or sales. However, i found that the conversion rate is very low, and i can see most of the user are just trying to "promote their product". So, twitter is not my way, and i dont really active on it
please also tell us why and how twitter is working for you, not just "twitter is good", "twitter sucks" and so on.
Twitter works like CRAZY for me, I just need more followers and less tweets with my auto tweet engine
Twitter works great for driving traffic, but is nearly useless for conversions. It's too oversaturated with other marketers. I still have better luck with Myspace as far as conversions go.
I'm happy with the traffic I generate from Twitter. It actually works for me. When I checked my traffic details, my followers do visit my site repeatedly. I think it really boils down to getting targeted followers.
Your target audience should be active - at the time you are active, else no one really goes back to see even what was posted 15 mins back. It is akin to chatting in yahoo chat room - some ppl read your message, some don't and the novelty of using Twitter washes up pretty fast if you get 10 advertisements and one good message. All in all - some folks may be lucky with followers, but as a general marketing strategy - its' a waste of time
Well, it has not done anything great for me ! I just used to use it earlier. But now I don't use it anymore. - Digital -
Well i havent been using it to promote my business.. personally i dont like using a medium like twitter to advertise stuff on it.. before you know it its a spamzone.
