Gaining Followers On Twitter - Is It Just Vanity?

NO it definitely is not vanity!

Gaining followers, and when I say followers, what I really mean is, targeted and organic followers who have a direct affiliation with your chosen niche.

Increasing your follower count is crucial to your business success and here is why.

Reason No 1.

Each follower is a potential customer. Imagine that your Twitter account was a bricks and mortar shop. Each follower enters your shop and from then on, is on a revolving walk way. They never leave your shop. Whilst in your shop you can show them sales, useful information, and make them really feel part of your brand.

Reason No 2.

Each and everyone of your followers has chosen to follow you! They are interested in you or your product, so tell them about it. What you do and how you do it. You have not dragged them off the street. They have entered your shop of their on free will.

Reason No 3.

Each follower is worth an amount of money, no matter how small that amount is, they are still worth money, so nurture them and make them feel like they want to spend it with you.

Reason No 4.

Followers look to you for advice or information in your niche. Based on what you tell them will influence them to either buy from you or not.

However these followers want to hear from you on a regular basis, not just once a month, they can go online to your website to do that. Twitter is a fast paced, action packed, high intensity medium of passing vast amounts of information. If your not up with the flow then you will fail. It really is that simple and I see it every single day.

But, and this is the big but, gaining followers takes time and to be honest you need to be a bit savvy these days to gain the right type of followers for your business.

This is where itweet.co.uk comes in, we can take care of not only tweeting on a regular basis for you, which to be totally honest is the biggest single down fall of all business Twitter accounts, but we can increase your followers by targeting the right sort of people who will follow you back.

Tweeting - Do You Tweet Enough?

So you have set up your website, it's looking great. You now turn your hand to Social Media. No problems you say, I use Facebook all the time, in fact I'm always on it, this Social Media business is easy. And that is when it all goes wrong! You may well be on Facebook all the time, but there is a world of difference between Facebook for friends and family and Facebook for business!  Let me ask you, how many adds do you see on Facebook? to be honest not that many and when you do see them it's by the big boys with big bucks to spend. You open up your own page for your business and see how little response you get from it. It all works on algorithms and metrics, and to be honest they do nothing for the small to medium business users on Facebook. However, lets take a look at Twitter , this is a completely different platform, where it is strictly a first come first served operation. The easiest way to explain exactly how Twitter works is imagine a bucket ...

5 Golden Rules of Twitter Content Strategy

5 Golden Rules It is vitally important that with just 140 characters you get your point across concisely and with the minimum of fuss. 1: Keep each tweet focused on delivering just one single message or call to action. Of course you can use a link to a blog, post or website as long as you use a link shortener such as Bitly.com to help you keep the link short. 2: Always use an image, video or GIF when you tweet, this adds a touch of personality and a much higher engagement rate.
