Marketing on Twitter Etiquette

By Josh Martin


When you're marketing on Twitter there's some proper rules and guidelines that you need to follow.

Twitter is a great site that you can tell the world what you're up to in 140 characters or less. So what are you going to share with such limited space? Are you going to talk about what you're eating for dinner, watching on tv, or planning to do for the weekend? Do you plan on promoting your business or website? Whatever you talk about it's important to be yourself and capture your audience if you want your voice to be heard.

It's important to put yourself in your followers shoes when you are tweeting. If you come across as being too pitchy or a spammer, you will not have success marketing on Twitter. The community will shut you out very quickly.

It's okay to regularly post about your business opportunity or product that you are promoting but make sure your tweets stay fresh, interesting, and provide value to your followers. If you post the same old tweets your followers will become uninterested and you will lose credibility.

When you're marketing on Twitter don't be too business orientated. Your followers will get tired of you very quickly if all you tweet is about business.

Make sure you share about what's going on in your life, be personable, share quotes that interest you, retweet what others have to say, but most of all be yourself. Don't try to be someone your not.

Since Twitter will only let you share snippets at a time it's important to keep your content interesting. Telling your followers you're eating, watching tv, or going to bed will bore them after awhile.

It's okay to post this content but make sure you post more interesting Tweets as well.

When marketing on Twitter a good guideline to follow is 1 business tweet for every 3 tweets you post. So for every 3 content tweets you would post 1 business tweet. Only send out 5-6 tweets per day.

If you follow these guidelines, your posts will stay fresh and your followers won't think you are being a cheesy salesperson.

The more places that you post your Twitter link, the more followers that you'll gain. Post your link on Facebook, your blog, email signatures, and any other relevant sites.

It's very critical to avoid using automatic Twitter services that offer bulk followers, repeating the same tweets, mass tweeting, mass following, and sending out tweets automatically from Twitter automated sites. These are quick ways to get your account banned.

There are some sites like Tweetlater, and Just Unfollow that are legitimate sites. Just make sure that if you are going to use these kinds of sites, do your research on them first to make sure they are legitimate.

The last thing that you want to have happen is to get your Twitter account banned. It's so difficult to get it back.

Marketing on Twitter the right way is a great way to build credibility for you and your business. If you do it right Twitter can provide your business with a tremendous amount of leads.

Twitter is a tremendous resource to be able to create huge amounts of traffic and leads for any niche if used properly. Just following the proper rules of engagement and you could be the next Twitter sensation. Look out Ashton Kutcher!
