Twitter Marketing Tips
Here is a brief overview of what you could be doing…
Promote other people as much as you can - this shows people that you are not just interested in pushing your own agenda and that you have others interests at heart.
Post valuable and helpful information - that hasn’t come from you that you think would benefit those who are following you. Remember that people are looking for answers to their marketing problems and if you are providing valuable content that helps them you will be seen as a valuable person that is worth following.
Post valuable information that you have created - finally it’s time for you to promote your own content. There is nothing wrong with promoting yourself as long as it isn’t all sales and spammy. I like to direct people through to content on my Blog that can help others in a big way. My goal is quality first before quantity.
Answer the questions going on in your followers minds - This is an important tip, like any other form of marketing online you need to consider what the conversation is that is going on inside your prospect or followers mind. They have followed you for a reason and you need to be catering to that reason.
I personally think it’s ok to be posting non-marketing content like “having dinner at my favourite restaurant”. But if that is all you do then your followers will get a little tired of that. Your postings still need to be targeted to the niche of people who are following you and that is best achieved by asking yourself the question “what is going on right now in my followers mind?”
Thank people for following you - this is the right thing to do but it can become a time consuming issue if you don’t automate your activity. I will get to automation in a moment but thanking those that follow you is very important and you need get this happening ASAP.
Engage in conversation - This is a powerful way to get followers. You need to realize that whenever you do this the entire following of the person you are conversing with gets your posts with your Twitter name on it. This works powerfully when you are conversing with top industry leaders who have large lists.
My first encounter with this was with @Mike_Dillard who at the time had a following of over 12,000 people. From the brief conversation I had with Mike I saw my follow numbers escalate for almost a week. Believe me it works.
Tweet useful and informative quotes - I like to grab informative success and motivational quotes that appeal to me and retweet them to my followers. For me this creates the warm and fuzzies that I am looking for in people so that when I do actually post something with a link in it, because they have liked what I have already posted and know where i am coming from, my followers are more likely to click on the link.

Twitter Automation
This is seriously awesome and worth your attention. Automation is your key to growing a profitable Twitter following.
TweetAdder combined with Twitter has become the fastest method I have ever engaged in to create traffic. Twitter is very responsive and by using this service you can be guaranteed of instant response to your postings.
With TweetAdder I can automatically follow thousands of new people over multiple Twitter accounts as well as post as many Tweets as I like to my followers. Of course I don’t recommend you post too many in one day otherwise people will unfollow you.
But TweetAdder is THE key to Twitter automation for serious marketers.

SocialOomph
Another great tool that you will definitely want in your Twitter marketing arsenal is SocialOomph. When you follow someone on Twitter and you receive an automatic welcome message from them you are seeing SocialOomph in action.
You can easily setup a different message for each different Twitter account that you may have or you can keep them the same for all accounts. Which is exactly what I do.
SocialOomph used to be called TweetLater and was the main tool of choice for automating your tweets until Twitter slapped their service and they had to stop the auto tweet facility. None the less, SocialOomph has a host of other great services that you can use and the best part it it’s a free service.

Follow Those Who Interest You
Another great tool I use for following people automatically who are in the same market I am interested in is Twollo.
With Twollo you can automatically follow anyone that uses certain keys words. For example if you are into Search Engine Optimisation or SEO for short, you can enter SEO into Twollo and it will automatically follow the person who posted SEO in their tweet.
I have dozens on word combination’s I am tracking and have followed hundreds of people automatically with this tool. And they are all discussing the subjects I am interested in.
How cool!

Engaging The Twitter Community
You may have already noticed that using the Twitter website to interact with the community is a proverbial pain in the butt. It’s not designed for ease of use.
The best tool I have come across for to engage with my Twitter following is Seesmic Desktop. If you haven’t yet used this services then you are not getting the best out of Twitter. It’s an absolute must.

Tracking Your Traffic & Clicks
If you are thinking of marketing like a professional on Twitter then you are going to have to track your traffic and clicks.
As of this writing I am receiving around 2,000 clicks per week and rising from my accounts of around 12,000 followers. These tweets are being sent for different blog posts and for different target audiences. But that’s the overall result as it stands now.
That’s not a bad effort and the way I can know how I am doing is by using a service called Bit.ly I have also used Budurl but I like the graphs on Bit.ly better.
Google those terms and open your free account, add your links and include the shortened links into your tweets and your away.
