Whether you are an internet marketing guru or a work at home rookie, there may be a free marketing platform that you have overlooked.
Twitter, like so many other social media sites, is a virtual goldmine of potential customers and subscribers.
By tapping into the Twitter craze, you stand to gain some otherwise hard to reach consumers.
Twitter is simply a site that allows its registered users to post small status updates for their followers to read.
This is true on the surface.
Deep down, it is a very connected and streamlined way of communication.
The beauty of Twitter is in its simplicity.
The status updates are easy to read, easy to write, and have the potential to be viewed by millions of people.
Twitter is not the best place to blatantly drop sales pitches every other minute, however.
Like any type of sales, there is a right way and a wrong way to approach Twitter marketing.
First of all, your list of followers should be your top priority.
Some time and care must be taken to gain some valuable followers and to ensure that they respect your opinions and updates.
If you start dropping sales lines on your followers, they will unfollow you immediately.
Like I said, there is a proper way for this type of marketing.
The best thing to do is to join in some meaningful conversations and try to get to know your followers.
Talk about your industry (that is, what you will be trying to sell), and build an interest in it.
Above all, maintain some self control.
It may be tempting to start right out with some automated tweets with your affiliate links included, but this will kill your reputation.
