simple Ideas on Using Twitter can boost your Business or blog promotion
March 19th 2009 14:43
In my previous post I i talked about the promotional potentials of Twitter , this topic is a continuation of what we started there, and i will present ideas for people looking to use Twitter for business.
Here are few ways you can use to promote your Twitter profile
1-give your profile URL in the bottom of your emails
2-follow other people; they will follow you back,
Also there is several tools exist which allow you to check how influential you are on Twitter. You can also compare yourself to tweeters in your area which also means you can track down local people who could be useful. Examples are Twitter Grader and Twitterholic.
3-use correct keywords to get found by other like-minded Twitterers
4- Think of each tweet you send out as a headline. Talk to people and make what you want to see on your tweets about THEIR interests, too. I know this doesn’t sell more widgets, but it shows us you’re human. Point out interesting things in your space, business,blog not just about you. Talk about non-business every once a while other wise other twitter will get tolerance from your tweets and no they will not care to read it
6- Promote your employees’ outside-of-work stories. ( @TheHomeDepot does it well.)
7-Have more than one twitterer at the company. People can quit. People take vacations. It’s nice to have a variety.
7-Use direct messages for 1-to-1 conversations if you feel there’s no value to Twitter at large to hear the conversation
8-Automate ;To avoid wasting time writing a blog or updating your website and then having to manually post a link on Twitter, set up RSS feeds and use services like Twitterfeed to automatically post the content as tweets. Use every opportunity you can to promote your Twitter feed. Free to use 'follow me on Twitter' badges are all over the internet which you can put on your website, in your email signature and on your business cards. Some examples are here and here.
9-use a service like Twitalert which will send you an email when your Twitter ID is mentioned. And it's not just tweets targeted directly at you; you can use the service to track any keywords you want.
10-The public timeline ; It's an often overlooked area of Twitter but every now and then it's worth clicking the 'public timeline' link. It gives you an instant snapshot of tweets from the entire Twitter community whether you are following them or not. It's worth having a quick scan to see whether there's someone who is of interest.
that was only few tactics you can use to promote your business ,website or just a blog,

Twitter was actually on the news yesterday. People aren't using it as intended or something.
