Twitter – heard of it? Know what it is? Well I am pretty much confident that you do, in these days there are not many who are not aware of the popular micro-blogging platform. I can’t really express you what made Twitter that popular. It may have to do something with our inveterate curiosity. It is an undeniable and unprofitable fact that everyone prefers looking at other people’s lives, otherwise there wouldn’t be TV Shows like Big Brother for example (one of the most popular where I live). Twitter lets you guide just that by simply asking the question “What are you doing?”
Connecting with old friends, sharing your business plans with work partners or growing relationships with each, having similar interests to yours - it is all within Twitter’s grasp! Keeping in touch with each and every part of the world in real time is one of the factors, responsible for making that system so dynamic.
Whatever might be the reason for Twitter’s ever growing popularity, with a number of new users joining in daily, the site’s marketing potential increases tremendously by the minute. Let’s say you are selling an e-book of some sort and want to market it – you previously had to spend hours and hours searching for relevant places to spread the word. Now with the click of a button, your offer can literally be seen by thousands of potential customers. I recently read an article about a big company (guess it was Sony, not 100% certain though), which has made additional 3 million dollars just from their Twitter fanbase.
If you have not still made your mind on using Twitter, here are some good reasons on giving that social media site a try. Trust me – it will prove the right decision.
Completely Free
You probably get bombarded with offers of “great” social media tools, claiming to give you 29 875 visitors in just 30 days, at the bargain price of only 10 bucks. I know from personal experience that it is very frustrating. Well, fortunately for you this is not the case with Twitter. In order to get started you just need to load the site on your browser, click “Sign up” and begin tweeting and meeting new people.
Effortless as 1-2-3
When I started to get involved with Twitter, several months back in time, I remember that registering was a matter of minutes and unlike many other social media services, there wasn’t much of a learning curve – you just log in, type your message and share it with your followers. This means that you won’t have to spend time searching for tutorials and how-to articles, which as everyone knows is always a headache.
Spend an hour per day is just enough for it
The great thing about Twitter is that attaining followers is not a time consuming process. Using the right strategies can bring you a decent amount of highly targeted followers in a matter of days. Of course I would not advice you to just go there and start adding each and every person you get to find. If they follow you back, you will have many followers, but in our case quality goes over quantity. It is worthless having 10 000 followers when no one even cares to click on a tweet of yours.
Building Trust
Engaging with other Twitter users and retweeting tweets you find interesting, might turn out to be the most important factors in the quest of establishing your site. Remember that in order to get recognition, you first need to start caring about what others have to say. Stop talking about yourself and begin listening to others instead – this can be a turning point for your online success. Taking this into consideration is sure to boost your authority, it is a matter of time.
In the last, those are the top four reasons for trying Twitter out. Hope you have made your mind on doing so, since there’s a great potential to utilize. If you have more to add, feel free to post a comment. Any feedback you may want to lend is appreciated as well.
