If you read newspapers, listen to radio stations, or watch TV, at some point you must come across the term “Follow me on Twitter”. Although these words are widely used, there are still a lot of people who don’t understand Twitter.
It is not that they are not technically savvy; it is simply because they think Twitter is complicated, but it is not. In fact, it’s one of the easiest social media sites to use.
You can’t deny that “Twitter” is a funny name that leaves a lot of people scratching their heads. However, Twitter is the 2nd largest social media networking site online with more than 100 MILLION users.
On Twitter, users can create short blog posts called “Tweets,” which allow them to tell others what they are doing.
Whilst tweets used to only be up to 140 characters, which is about the same length as a text message on your mobile phone, they have now increased the limit to 280 characters. More space to get your key messages across. These short posts are used to communicate, connect, and conduct conversations with your audience without saying a whole lot.
To make new contacts on Twitter, you must “follow people” or “be followed.” To connect with someone, whether it is a family member, friend or celebrity, just click on the “follow” button.
Going forward, all of their messages, or “Tweets,” will appear on your list of messages from people you follow. If a person follows you, then your Tweets will appear in their timeline.
Most of the Tweets posted are not addressed to any particular individual and usually contain information that the Tweeter wants to share with all of their followers.
You are probably starting to see how Twitter gives small business an easy and fast way to advertise new products and/or services with assurance that consumers will see them; of course, the businesses will need to have followers in order to make the messages worthwhile.
Social networks are in the front line of transforming businesses by giving them a way to connect with potential customers. A large number of your customers probably use Twitter; so this is a great way to keep in touch with them.
After creating a Twitter account for your local business, you will have made the first and most important step in social media marketing. The next step will be to gather followers.
Whilst using Twitter might not excite you, the efforts you put into the campaign will pay off at the end of the day. Large corporations can get a couple of millions followers in a day, but smaller businesses can get any number between 10 and 100 in a day, which is still a great achievement.
You also need to integrate Twitter in all your advertising strategies including print advertising and internet marketing. If you have a business website, include a “Follow Me on Twitter” image link on it so that anyone who visits your website can click on it and become a “follower.”
