One of the major experts in the internet marketing business, Justine Harrison, recommends using Twitter in your online marketing efforts. If you are not using Twitter to promote your products or affiliate products, you are missing a great opportunity.
Twitter is a micro blog service that has taken the internet by storm. If you are not on Twitter you can join very easily. All you have to do is sign up and create an account. This will take you less than five minutes and you will be ready to post your own messages or Tweets as they are called.
It is a social media site, but many people use it to market their online business. Do not go on this social website and start sending out sales messages because this is considered spam and people will simply stop following your messages, or Tweets, and you will be blocked from sending them anymore messages.
Look for people who would be interested in what you promote and give those people valuable information. You are probably wondering how to find people on Twitter who are part of your market. This is a fair question.
Let us use self improvement products as an example of a market we are going to target. If you were in this market you would know who the top speakers are in this industry. You would be able to name five or maybe ten of the top motivational speakers. Guess what, these people will have a Twitter account.
You can choose to start following that person as well, but your purpose of finding well known people is to find out who is following them; click on the icon that brings up the page of their followers. These are the people you want to start following.
This is what you do next. Start following those who are following the well known person in your target market. It is polite for people to follow you when you start following them. When you follow people in your target market and they start following you back, you are creating a target Twitter following.
As your list grows, more people will see your tweets when you send them out. Remember, you are not sending sales messages to your list. Rather, you are sending valuable information in each tweet. But you can also include your website URL in your tweet so people in your followers list can visit your site for more information. Use Twitter as a major internet marketing tool.
