First and foremost, you need to sign up for a free Twitter account, which is easy and doesn’t take time. Having your own website is not a requirement to sign up. All you have to do is create a user name, and you’re up and running. When your account is activated, you can invite people (prospective customers) to follow you. This is done simply by a blurb inviting them to follow you. You need to leave out any information about your products or services when you are inviting people to follow you. You can use contacts that you already have in your email address book and send email invitations, with an explanation of why and how they should follow you on Twitter. You may be surprised to find that many of your contacts are already members of the Twitter community and don’t need to sign up to become your follower. Slowly the number of followers to your account will grow. Be sure to treat your followers as valuable assets and treat them right. So how do you go about doing this? You can offer them special deals on a regular basis and provide them with useful information. For example, you can set up “Only For You On Twitter” kinds of advertising, and offer special deals to your customers. To entice more people to follow you, you can limit these offers to those people who are following you. You will find that these people then recommend you to others, and their acquaintances and family members will want on your list just to receive your special offers.
You will have to spend some time and effort at first to really generate a significant amount of traffic from Twitter. You can grow a loyal following of people on Twitter, who will eagerly look forward to your posts, and look to you as a professional in your industry, by ensuring that your tweets are interesting, knowledgeable, and informative. This gives your followers a good enough reason to click on your link and not ignore it. If your followers know that they will consistently find accurate, meaningful information in your posts, they will be apt to keep coming back. Remember to afford Twitter followers the same respect and restraint that you give to everyone on your e-mail list. Not only will they have more confidence in you and feel comfortable visiting your site, they will also be willing to tell their friends about you. This method may start out slow but if you put in the effort your traffic will see a significant increase. Any internet marketer will tell you that building a customer base takes time. Once you understand the connection between Twitter and increased site traffic it will be a pleasure to interact with your growing number of friends who will become your newest customers.
