    Thumbs up Re: does twitter work?

    I read a number of e-books and articles written by marketers who claim twitter does help to drive traffic to your website or blog. And I believe it does. Check out popular or top notch marketers twitter page - you see thousands of followers.

    And naturally there some tricks involved and one need to have a smart way of writing tweets - tweets are like advertising copies that must attract interest and curiosity to make people click your link.

    And once they visited your blog or web site there must be something that they like - blog articles for example must have valuable content for the visitors, or for stuff you offer on your site. If your blog has nothing to offer that will be the last time they follow you and read your tweets.

    The key is in your tweets - and what's in it for the visitor.

    Sorry for that pun. Yes, Twitter and Facebook are the 2 most popular social networking sites and these are the best places to guide traffic to your websites.

    Absolutely. I only personally started getting Twitter followers in November last year and today have nearly 6000 and all targetted and it is so easy. Every time I post to my blog, I also automatically post a tweet.

    I post a Video Blog each week just about as most of your know and I get responses, followers and sales each and very time.

    If you observe one simple rule on twitter - don't sell outright anything, it can be one of your best sources of traffic. Make sure you have a well converting product and squeeze page, and you can use twitter for building a list quite easily.

    A simple strategy would be to:

    1. Submit an article to EZA, with your proper call to action and link to your money magnet in the resource box;
    2. Post a tweet on twitter with a link to the article on EZA;
    3. Have people read the article, and possibly, take action and go to your money site;

    Hope that helps.

    Hi folks,

    I have being using twitter for networking and in my experience, it does increase your traffic and I never say no to free traffic and secondly and more importantly I have got some sales from it - small in comparision to the number of followers I have and follow. Its best use for sales is where you are an affiliate maketer for a product and your vendor pays you for getting new traffic with email addresses for him/her to use at a later stage to sell them more products and of course in them doing this you get the benefits of the upsell. So my advice is twitter away - it can only lead to good. Thanks Ana.

    I've tried some stuff on Twitter- no luck. I didn't realize they did nofollow, but oh well.

    Seems like way too many people are spamming Twitter anymore to make it work well.

    I have a few twitter accounts and have started using it to get people to visit acouple of blogs i have put up and it does help to drive traffic. I think it's a case of how you can convert that traffic once it is on your site.

    I use a very cool free tool called HOOTSUITE to manage my twitter accounts and it allows to forward set tweets which is quite good if you are looking at providing quick bursts of content. I use a number of facts about my market and ad them as future tweets.

    Still looking at how to make more use of the traffic and will start using it to build e mail lists rather than actually trying to sell with it.

    Will let you know how my experience goes with it.

    Hi Guys
    I am a "Twitter Virgin" and have to confess I am still learning how it works.
    Since I joined I have elected to follow about 5 people and since then I have had around 7 notices of people following me, only 2 whom I was familiar with.
    Holly swears by it and maintains she gets regular business from it.
    Yes, it is free and does no harm to forward info about your site and hope you get feedbacks.
    Holly has it down to a fine art and has prepared messages she can send out at intervals without even being on line. I need to learn how to do that.
    I guess provided you don't get too engrossed in it to distract you from known ways to earn money, it can't do you any harm.
    Every means that can get you a contact and without cost has to be O.K.
    Cheers
    Tom
    Hi, I am new to Twitter, also, but I have found that I am bombarded by tweets, and I
    wonder if anyone really reads all the tweets they receive. I find it is very time consuming.

    But, if you set it up on automatic, it seems to take out the personal touch. Just my
    opinion.

    People do read tweets. Even before I had a good following I received opt-in's and subscribers from twitter. Now that I have over 11K I get daily inquiries and opt-in's through the social networking site.

    Give before you receive. Tweet content and people will be interested in what you have to say. Also RT frequently. Everybody loves a giver. You'll also get plenty of clicks which helps to boost your position in google so it's a 2 pronged advertising attack.

    I am new to using Twitter as a few tips that I use is that people who intend to continue with me, who know at least a little about me ... therefore are more likely to be interested in what I'm trading, sales, ... etc.

    It has generated few sales for me. Not something to write home about.

    I use twitter for making sales all the time .So yes it works you can't spam people all the time and expect them to respond,I don't mean that you are

    If you have a blog or squeeze page make a tweet offering them something
    Fr*ee to get them on your list.

    If you target follow people in your niche they are more likely to sign-up to
    your list.

    You need a strategic marketing strategy in place,everyone on twitter is spamming everyone trying to be heard .

    So you have to get above the noise level. I use automated twitter software
    this way I target people that I want and send them a welcome message
    to get them to go where I want . You will find the bigger your list the better response rate will be.

    Give them some good content over a few days time re-tweet them but don't just keep pushing links at them,that won't work .

    The software I use is

    well.. i would say that twitter days are gone.. people have made money with twitter in the past.. but it doesnt work well no more.. even now it DOES work but nto as good as FB coz of evry1 SPAMMING lyk crazy..

    but even then if you make a habit of posting valuable content without any links in it or just may be youtube video links.. you will definately 'stand out' in the crowd where every tweet has got links in it and your doesnt!

    just make a repo first and then start it promoting..
