Tweets Equal Traffic
Have you been scratching your head and wondering how to get more traffic to your home business website, that doesn’t cost anything? There are lots of ways to get traffic to your site that are economical but few that are free. Organic listings with the major search engines are the best since they cost zero. They major problem is that it could take months perhaps years to get a good listing for even one keyword phrase. Yes there are SEO firms that can expedite the process but they do charge you for the service of course. I have written many articles on that process in the past, however as I have said it can take some time.
My latest favorite, besides Article Marketing, is Twitter. How can this be? A social networking site that will work for home business? Yes. Twitter is growing in leaps and bounds as is FaceBook. I like Twitter for it’s simplicity and raw ability to provide a constant flow of traffic as well as a means of instant messaging a group of followers that specifically signed up to hear what you say. In Internet Marketing terms it doesn’t get any better than this. As you build your “follower” list you are building a group of potential customers as well. Accumulating followers is akin to finding potential customers, the difference on Twitter is not the hard sell but the soft sell.
The potential uses of Twitter are substantial. Your followers become your potential product customers because they signed up to your Twitter account. That means that they are interested in your message. You can widen or narrow your audience through your Tweets. Take for example a political Twitter page. Tweeting your message to your followers is just the beginning because they can re-tweet your message to their followers and so on. This is viral marketing at its best especially when you are tweeting your message with the URL you are promoting attached to your Tweet.
A while back Ashton Kutcher was having a little fun, for a good cause. He was baiting Ted Turner on his Twitter page to race him to see who could garner one million followers first. The loser would have to supply netting for African tribes that needed it to protect children from a deadly mosquito bites. It all unfolded in a matter of weeks. Outside of helping those children it demonstrated how powerful this medium is.
Don’t be confused by all of this because it really isn’t. There are a host of ways to get on to Twitter or Facebook and start getting followers.
