Twitter Marketing Practices that Work Against You
So you want to start marketing on Twitter? It’s a good idea, however, to learn about some important mistakes people often make before you get started.
If you are just starting your Twitter marketing campaign then you should take care not to start your promotional tweets too soon. The best part about Twitter is the sense of community that the service fosters: people connect with each other over shared likes, dislikes and interest and it is important to become a full member of that community before you start bombarding users with promotional messages. When you start getting followers those followers will expect your tweets to be of good quality. But if you don’t do that and, instead, just start blatantly marketing your products or services your followers will instantly stop following you.
The smart approach to Twitter is to send out lots of good information to your followers on a regular basis so that you can build up a good relationship with them and then, when you think the response will be favorable, start sending out marketing tweets once in a while. In addition to that, being a trusted member of the Twitter community can only help you build your long term business. So keep your marketing at bay, at least in the start. Be a good Tweeter first and then, when you’ve built a good reputation, start your marketing.
It’s easy to blend in with the other people on Twitter, which is important if you want to get results. Do not make the mistake of using bad language in an attempt to blend in. Always aim at maintaining proper language that can create a positive impression on your followers. New marketers don’t pay this a lot of heed but those same marketers don’t realize that this choice hurts their reputation. While it is sometimes okay to be informal it is never okay to be vulgar. Being impersonal can be very good but so is being professional; it is important to find a balance between the two. This will make people reluctant to follow you and you could lose some of your existing followers as well. Just try to be friendly with your followers as well as polite, direct and decent. How you present yourself to the people who follow you in your target audience is quite important and matters a great deal because that is what will determine how many sales and how much money you make. Finally, this step seems very simple but it does do a lot for your trustworthy reputation.
Focusing some of your marketing efforts on Twitter can certainly be positive for you, it is important to remember some ideas–even before you start. When deciding upon your Twitter username do not put your product or company name into it. You need to have your personal name on your Twitter profile, one that people can easily connect to. You do not need to make yourself look like a sales person; only like someone who likes to help others. Even when you are choosing your profile picture it is better to choose a photo that is of you and that does not have anything to do with your product. You have to keep everything as genuine as possible, without turning your whole Twitter marketing experience into a big sales pitch.
In conclusion: this article outlines very common and easily avoided mistakes; all you have to do is be conscious of them and you should be fine. If you’re smart, you’ll keep on the alert for these kinds of things so that you won’t make easily avoidable mistakes.
