Using Twitter to build your business part 3

You probably know that one of the most effective ways to use Twitter to build your business is by directing your followers to another web page so that they can sign up to your mailing list.

There is another great way of promoting your business depending on what type of business you are promoting.

Let’s look at a situation where someone is promoting their restaurant through Twitter and they have built up several hundred followers and Tweet to them on a regular basis offering interesting advice and various recipes etc. They may find that just before they are opening for the evening they are especially quiet and as it is a rainy evening there is not much chance that people will visit without a booking.

A solution to this problem would be to post a Tweet stating that if anyone visits the restaurant on that particular evening will get a free bottle of wine or a discount on the meal. I can’t think of any other method that is able to reach such a large audience in such a short period of time. Don’t forget that this is a highly targeted audience and compare it with what the alternative would have been before Twitter, it would have had to be a case of hitting the telephone so as you can see there is no comparison.

This method applies to a variety of different businesses so it really is very adaptable and is only really limited by your imagination.

To really take advantage of your Twitter account you really must build up a list of responsive followers but where an earth do you start? This is a question that I have been asked many times over and because it confuses many people they end up not doing anything with their Twitter account and simply give up.

One of the easiest ways I know to get followers is to find someone who is well known in your niche and who already has quite a large following.

You then go through the list and click on the follow button beside each persons name and you will usually find that within a short space of time a high percentage of these people will in turn follow you back.

You will have to do the occasional bit of maintenaince on your account such as removing the people who you are following and are not following you back but you will be amazed how many followers you can obtain over a short period of time.

I always seem to be saying this but it is absolutely vital that you only follow people who are in your niche, that is if you intend to use your Twitter for marketing purposes.

Can you just imagine having a few hundred or a few thousand followers who are all interested in what you have to say and how profitable that can be to your business?

Using Twitter to build your business Part 1

A brilliant method for building your online business is by using Twitter. The way to start is to open a Twitter account for whatever niche you are involved with and start by following people who are in the same niche and you will find that many of them will in turn follow you back.

Before long you will find yourself with a large list of followers and the trick is to try and get these followers onto your mailing list. The way to do this is to put together a simple report and offer this report to your followers. Whatever you do don’t bombard your followers with offer after offer, you should really wait until you have gained their trust and only offer help and advice whenever possible.

As you will be giving your report away without charge this will again ensure that you are giving help and not trying to make a fast buck.

When these people download your report they will leave you their email address and as the very well known saying goes, The money is in the list.

You will then have the opportunity to build up a strong relationship with these people and many people get to such a stage where they can more or less make money on demand simply by mailing to their list, it really can be that responsive.

This method can be carried out over a relatively short period of time and if you put your mind to it you can reach the position of having a large list before you know it.
