Tweets attract customers; customers bring-in the cash

There’s no rocket science involved in understanding how you can gain monetary benefits out of Twitter. All you need to do is stick to the basics and do to them right, day in and day out. Make sure that your tweets are informational and interesting and they encourage customers to visit your business website.

The greater the number of impressions on your website, there’s a greater chance of having a better prospect-to-customer conversion ratio.

Encourage your followers to retweet

Retweeting is the only way your tweets can reach people who are not following you on Twitter. Therefore, encourage your followers to retweet your messages and help you out. Retweeting works in a chain, your followers retweet your messages, your follower’s followers reweet the messages and so on.

Turn to tools

 

There are plenty of good tools which help you get more traffic and earn money through Twitter. IMO, TweetGlide is amongst the best tools to be used if you are serious about earning money from Twitter.

Such applications can get you free Twitter traffic that grows pretty fast with time.

Sponsored Tweets

 

Twitter has recently announced a plan to allow advertisers to post sponsored tweets near the top of some search pages that tie in relation to certain keywords.  These tweets will be known as ‘Promoted Tweets’ and would work similar to how Google’s sponsored ads work.

The report also suggests that a hybrid approach is the best way forward when considering HTML5 for video email marketing – use both HTML5 and animated GIFs depending on the requirements. Video is one of the most compelling ways in order to make an online marketing campaign attractive as it makes an instant connection with viewers.

    What you're saying here makes a lot of sense. I can think of a few people I'm following who do this right, and probably are making the connections and money they want from Twitter. Then I can think of dozens, even hundreds, more Twitter users that have not only failed to attract my attention but risked lowering my perception of any brand they were associated with, and/or I labeled them spam. After witnessing such a huge ratio of utter failures on Twitter compared to a few people doing it right, I find myself amused whenever I see someone call Twitter an “easy way to get exposure”. Obviously, it's too hard for many people!

    As you rightly state Douglas,

    You have to get the Basics right first.
    So many newcomers believe that Twitter is Only a selling platform.

    They soon learn that primarily it is a Social site full of Real People.
    Real people that they wish to Sell to.

    Learn to talk to your audience first.Find out their concerns and NEEDS.

    Automation will ultimately help you achieve your aims.
