Building a loyal, steady customer-base:

“BUILD A LIST!” As a marketer, I'm sure you've heard this many times over. Building a list is one of the most vital steps you can take in the advancement of your online business. Twitter is pretty much the same as building a list – although it might be even more effective in the long run.

When it comes to an email list, a large portion of your subscribers won't even glance at the emails you send. Their eyes will glaze over and they may even send it to the trash. With Twitter, your followers will see all of your Tweets. They'll digest its information in about half a second and if you include a link, they probably won't get offended.

Chances are, if you included an eye-catching description, they'll probably click it! Additionally, it won't SEEM like you are marketing to them, because you're just another Twitter user tweeting about random stuff!

Building up excitement for a product launch:

Just like with an email list, Twitter can be used to build up excitement about an upcoming product launch. It can start with occasional Tweets about your “new project”, and by keeping your followers up to date and offering freebies and cool stuff that they'll appreciate, you'll build trust and anticipation. When your product launches, a well-timed Tweet may likely be just as effective as a blast to your email list.

Driving traffic to your website:

Wouldn't it be great if you could instantly notify hundreds or thousands of people every time you update your blog? Twitter makes this possible. It essentially acts as an RSS feed. By building a sizable list of followers, you pretty much have access to an instant source of traffic to your website or blog.

People who would otherwise not be aware of updates and new content will be notified, giving them a chance to check it out. If your blog is high-quality, people will keep an eye out for more of your Tweets.

I've always questioned who is following their tweets all day. People at work follow some pertaining to their job. Others look for a food truck location, celebrity news and gossip. You need to establish a targeted traffic following and retweet the same message a few times a day to get it to people. Unfollow those who don't follow you. It's a great tool if you can build a list of dedicated followers. You can get a lot of data about twitter to make your efforts more productive. Nothing worse then sending out messages that never get read.There are tracking programs that can show you actual results. Great way to track activity on any of your blog post you tweet. Answers the question"is anyone listening to me/"

That's the problem really, but with interesting titles to say a blog post you can benefit. Or even send them to an article on Street Articles for example. If only 5 people go off and read, 1 purchases, it's worth the effort.

Just like having your own Niche Or Theme on your website.
The very Firms under which your various articles and blog postings are based on.

Twitter is something as simple as that.
Just open your mind and create your own line of Interest . That would be the theme of your Twitter account. Continue posting tweets on that line of interest. But also on other Various topics.

Tweeting for atleast each day and within 1-2 Months You would be having an Impressive Followers List.........

Just try to keep your tweets interesting Not always Serious Stuff.....

Hope You find this Useful..
