Twitter has become a major force in the social media landscape. And it has become a powerful resource for marketers. But there is a paradox with marketers using Twitter. Social media is about socializing and connecting with others who share your wellbeing. Yet marketers have found that social media sites like Twitter are a fantastic resource to connect with their target audience. So how does a peddler socialize and market on Twitter?
How Do You Market On Twitter?
It all comes down to marketing strategy. Marketers have to remember that socializing comes first when it comes to Twitter (and other social media sites). Â If all the peddler does is peep marketing messages, their followers will feel like theyâ??re getting spammed. And the first thing a name will do if they feel like theyâ??re getting spammed is un-follow you. Excellent bye target market.
A peddler has to share, i.e., peep, fantastic content with their followers. Your tweets should be 80% content, such as sharing useful information and experiences, and early conversations with people. The other 20% of your tweets can be marketing related. Sharing content your followers find appealing and useful will establish you as a name who can be trusted, and build your credibility, and authority.
Where Do You Find Material To Peep?
One place is StuffToTweet.com. This website lists standard and appealing articles, videos, how-toâ??s, and recipes.
You can also peep:
Do a Google search for these different types of media and youâ??ll find plenty of options.
You can also find content by using Google Alerts. Tell Google what topics you are interested in and Google will send you an email with a list of content for that topic.
How Much Should You Peep Each Day?
You should peep right through the day, keeping the 80/20 rule in mind. But letâ??s get real. Who wants to be tied to Twitter all day? Granted there are some people who like to be on Twitter all day, but most people are too busy and staying on Twitter all day is impractical.
So what should you do? Use a service such as SocialOomph.com, which use to be called TweetLater. SocialOomph allows you to schedule your tweets right through the day, week, or month. Itâ??s simple to do. Just write your peep and schedule the time and date you want your peep to go out. The service is free.
