Well twitter is a bit like having your own radio station ,what you say and how you say it will attract listeners.Now nobody is going to listen to a radio station that just broadcasts adverts, so don’t just say things like buy our products .
You need to engage your listeners by solving their problems.
Outline the problems your product or service solves
Give examples of how people use your products
Don’t just tweet about your company, if you have found something interesting with some connection to your business tweet about that too.
Do try to inject some humour if you can .Remember its like a radio station ,only your listeners have millions of channels to choose from. Make yours entertaining
ok so how about those followers where are they going to come from?
Here is a great tip ,signup for an account at tweetlater.com
this service allows you to create alerts of people tweeting about certain words or phrases.
So lets say you are selling mountain bikes, create an alert for ‘mountain bikes’.
Now scan through the digest that will be sent to your email and go follow those people. Then follow the people that are following those people. This works very well for getting targeted followers in a short space of time.
Now later make sure you advertise your twitter account just like your web site address.
Put your twitter account on your business cards
