I know how useful Twitter is for marketing niche. Using twitter we can connect to many different
people with different profession and in different niches. Because twitter is very popular there is
more chances of getting notice your niche.
I agree with you Becca. And persoanlly, I think the number 1 advantage of Twitter compare to the other social networking sites is it’s simple and fast !
If it comes to twitter then you must be being very active there. Without activeness you cannot get benefit from twitter. This is a bitter truth about twitter.
Well I think same goes to the rest of the social networking sites too Puneet. You’ll not get the most out of any social networking sites if you’re “quiet”.
One thing about twitter is everyone seems to be tuned into it now. It is free and a great way to market and promote your product or site. It takes a little practice and getting the hang of, but overall it is one of the simplest platforms out there. There are tons of possibilities with twitter. I actually think it is better than facebook. It is easier to use, fast and simple. What more could you ask for.
I actually think the same Ray. I have more traffics comming from Twitter than FB or any other social networking sites. I’m still learning to master it and on getting more followers of the same interest. Twitter really deserves more of my attention and I’m definitely going to focus more on it.
Am getting interested. Yeah, I’ve got a twitter account, but I haven’t got any hint yet that this could be used for marketing. Thanks for this article.
You’re welcome Jess.
Twitter is a great tool when not abused for pointless posts. I find it works well as a means of establishing relationships with credible industry professionals, for developing a personal brand and for keeping in the now with what industry experts are doing or sharing.
