Crackers – The drier the better! Am sure you would never go shopping for a wet cracker. Then why use a twitter account the same way?
Twitter is a marketing bomb if used the right way. I have been using twitter for more than 2 years now and have been benefited only when I discovered the right way to use it.
Just like many of us I usually blindly do 2 things:
The major pattern you could see on Twitter is:
Now let me share what I learnt the hard way and something that could really help you benefit.
I created another twitter account and followed a different strategy that the one I used to use and many of us still use.
I had the new Ground rules this time:
Here you can see my account: ( I have 991 people I follow and 1653 followers)
Take Home: Twitter is all about real people and real contacts – build them and you would be rewarded.
Twitter is a marketing bomb if used the right way. I have been using twitter for more than 2 years now and have been benefited only when I discovered the right way to use it.
Just like many of us I usually blindly do 2 things:
- Blindly follow as many as suggested twitter accounts to follow.
- Blindly tweet every single post on my blog using the retweet plugins.
The major pattern you could see on Twitter is:
- You get followed back by many if you follow them
- People subscribe to auto-follow tools to increase the follower counts
- Your Twitter dashboard is flooded with tweets if you leave it un touched for 10 minutes
- As soon as you tweet you see few new visitors from twitter landing on your website / blog
Now let me share what I learnt the hard way and something that could really help you benefit.
I created another twitter account and followed a different strategy that the one I used to use and many of us still use.
I had the new Ground rules this time:
- Only follow who I really wanted to
- Will try to keep the follower to following ratio unequal
- Have a straight forward profile Bio (simple words about me and what I do)
- Have a real profile pic (preferably not a graphic unless you are a huge brand)
- Respond to direct messages
- Visit / Reply to interesting tweets and if good, re-tweet.
- Meet / interact with real people and build contacts
- How this was different from my previous approach
