TWITTER MARKETING
Looking to get free traffic from Twitter? In this article post, I’m going to share some Twitter marketing tips I’ve learned along the way.
Before we start, let me make something clear:
Don’t get too caught up trying to get traffic from Twitter to your new article. For a new article, I would focus 100% (well maybe 99%) of my energy into Pinterest marketing.
CREATE A KICKASS TWITTER PROFILE
Let me show you how to create one by using the following step which are below.
HAVE A GREAT PROFILE PHOTO
Your profile photo needs to be a photo of your face. If you want people to engage with your profile and follow you, retweet your posts and visit your website, you need to be a real person.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR TWITTER COVER PHOTO
Don’t waste this space with a pointless picture.
A beautiful panoramic shot with you doing an activity is always a good look. This is especially true if you are the focal point of your article.
- Food article? Maybe a shot of some food you cooked up.
- Travel article? You can be on top of the mountain.
- Health article? How about a shot of you meditating at the beach.
WRITE A KICKASS PROFILE BIO
Your Twitter bio requires to be small and friendly. You have only 160 characters to work with, so you need to choose your words wisely.
Here’s the formula for the perfect Twitter bio:
- 1. Introduction. Who are you, what do you do and why do you do it?
- 2. Social proof. Why should someone listen to you?
- 3. Call to action. Go to my article, join my email list, buy my product, etc.
Now that we have designed a visually appealing Twitter profile, it’s now time to get some eyeballs on your profile.
HOW TO GET TWITTER FOLLOWERS
The more people we put our content in front of, the higher the possibility of getting our content re-shared over and over again. And on Twitter, this won’t happen unless you have a lot of Twitter followers. Here’s how to increase your Twitter follower count.
BEGIN FOLLOWING TARGETED USERS
You don’t want to go nuts and follow everyone. Aggressive following and unfollowing is against Twitters’ terms and following a bunch of random people isn’t going to get you anywhere.Here’s how to do it: Rather, see who recently follows some bigger names in your space and follow those accounts.
- Research. Go to an influencer’s Twitter profile and see their followers
- Follow recent followers only. They are the ones listed at the top.
By targeting only active Twitter users you will begin to see some of them follow you back.
LET'S IDENTIFY INFLUENCERS FIRST
No matter what your article or website is about, others in the same field are ahead of you. These are the leaders of your industry and you need to know who they are.
DIRECT MESSAGE YOUR FOLLOWERS
Twitter fans are great, but nowhere near as much as an email subscriber. That’s because the odds that someone sees a tweet from you are somewhere between slim and none. But an email?
ADD BEAUTIFUL SHARE BUTTONS ON YOUR ARTICLE
Okay, we’re done with what you can do directly on Twitter and now let’s move on to what you can do on your actual article to take your Twitter marketing to another level. Let’s talk about share icons.
Here is what I have learned: Just don’t waste your time and use the SocialWarfare plugin.This is what the big boys use. They might not tell you. Heck, they might not even answer you if you ask them. But trust me they are using this plugin.
