Many companies use Twitter to blindly promote their products without any real thought or reason as to how to use this valuable social media tool to actually increase sales. We’ve put together five tips to help you make the most out of Twitter and turn it into a sales and marketing tool.

1. Don’t use Twitter as an advertising platform.

This is something that we see all too often. Companies sign up to Twitter purely to tweet endlessly on how great their company is, what new products they have available, and why you should buy things from them. It doesn’t work – Twitter’s not an advertising platform or billboard.

2. Engage with your followers and other users.

This doesn’t mean you should try to sell to them, either! Help your followers, respond to their enquiries and questions, and use Twitter as a tool to promote yourself indirectly as an industry guru and helpful soul.

3. Run competitions.

Competitions work fantastically on Twitter. You can give away products as a prize in return for asking Twitter users to follow and retweet your competition tweet. This way, the tweet will roll on and on, gaining followers and retweets. Make sure the prize is fairly substantial, though; money-off vouchers just won’t cut it.

4. Include your website link on your Twitter profile.

This might sound incredibly obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many people don’t do this. There’s even a dedicated URL field. It costs you nothing, so put your URL in here and allow your Twitter followers to browse your website and become potential customers. If your tweets are mainly industry-related, you may even find it to be a potentially valuable backlink.

5. Get it on the conversation.

Twitter’s search function is invaluable for finding people who are talking about your products, services or industry. It takes no time or effort to reply to messages or get in on the conversation. Be careful not to come across as a salesperson – be helpful and informative and don’t go out of your way to promote your website or products.

Twitter has been getting more and popular day by day and so are we trying to make our presence on Twitter even stronger. It takes some time and effort to get presence and followers for you on any platform so Twitter is not an exception. You can build lots of business for sure from twitter but for that you need thousands of targeted followers. And today I’m here to help you with getting more targeted Twitter Followers using 15 tips I’ll be mentioning below:

1. Keep on following

This is the most basic and working tip to get targeted followers for your Twitter account. There will be 20-30 percent Twitter users who will be following you back. Suppose you start following 1000 profiles on Twitter, there will be 200-300 users who will be following you back keeping the 20-30 percent following back ratio. So the key is using Twitter tools to unfollow people who don’t follow you back. And keep on repeating this process to add new followers to your Twitter account every time.

2. Profile URL and Image

Choose a relevant name associated with your or the brand you are promoting. And use yours or brand name banner/blog you are promoting through your Twitter account.

3. About Me information

Fill all the information like your name, website and bio in your profile section. No one would like to be a follower of a guy whom they don’t know much about.

4. Offer Gifts

If I offer giving away $50 to a random used who start following me in the next one week or any specific time, I surely will see some instant jump in my followers list. And if I keep on repeating the same process over it, can build some thousand followers very quickly but the only condition is that I should have the budget to give away attractive gifts to my followers.

5. Spread your Twitter Profile on Social Networks

Then it’s about spreading your Twitter profile on as many networks you can. Why not start sharing your Twitter Profile on Social networks where you are active like Digg, Delicious, Facebook, Orkut, StumbleUpon etc.

6. Start promoting your Twitter account in Your Signatures

If you are too much hungry for getting new followers, I would start including your Twitter account URl’s in your Email Signatures, Guest post signatures, Discussion forum Signatures, business cards etc

7. Using Contests

Why not starts a contest on your blog to increase your followers on Twitter? The success of your contest will mostly depend upon your blog popularity, how much you promoting your contest and the prize you are giving away to the winners. You can expect some big jump in a short period of time against your followers with a successful Twitter Contest. With this, you should participate in the contests help around Twitter. When you participate in such contests, lots of participants will start following you.

8. Repeat the success of others

I would recommend keep on following other popular Twitter users in general and in your industry and try to replicate what they are doing on their Twitter accounts.

9. Have Follow me Button

It’s a good idea to start showing follow me Icon or Button on prominent positions on your blog/website you are running. I himself showing follow me link in my blog sidebar and at the end of each post with aim to send maximum traffic to my twitter profile which will ultimately help convert traffic into my twitter followers. With this, I used to appeal my blog readers to start following me on Twitter when I have some twitter related post coming on my blog.

10. Retweet other’s Stuff

Twitter is not all about your sharing your own stuff. You should share others interesting stories in general or from your industry. When people notice you are sharing their stuff, will start sharing your stories and there is every chance of them being your follower on Twitter.

11. Inviting All of your Friends

Invite all of your friends from Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail to get in touch on Twitter, as they are the people who will be really happy to follow you on Twitter.

12. Start tweeting with popular guys

Start sending tweets to some of popular guys in your industry. There is every chance that some of them will reply back to your tweets and when that happens all followers of that guy will see your twitter profile url and thus there is chance they will follow you if they find something interesting in doing so.

13. Question Answers

Replying to questions is the easiest way to build relationship with your existing Fan Following on Twitter and strangers even. So look at tweets from other guys in industry seeking answers or you ask some simple questions to them. This way you will be able to build some more followers for you on Twitter.

14. Start Sending Traffic to your Twitter Account

Start sending traffic to your Twitter profile the way you do for your blog. The more traffic you send to your Twitter profile will have more chance of getting more followers for you on Twitter.

15. Have Tweet This Button

I would recommend have Tweet This Button in all of your blog posts or articles that you wrote on your website. With tweet this Button in place, your readers will send tweets for your articles and thus will increase your content popularity and followers base on Twitter.

Extra Twitter Tips

Pay for Twitter Followers

Although it does not look to be cool to get involved in such activity where you pay someone to buy followers in bulk, but still its a way to increase your Twitter followers base and that’s why adding it to this list. You will get lots of people and companies offering twitter followers in bulk for some fixed amount when you spend some time on Google and webmaster/seo related forums.

Using TweetAdder
You can get lots of targeted Twitter followers instantly using Tweet adder. So I would highly recommend using TweetAdder for adding lots of quality followers instantly.

With Social networking sites gaining popularity in SEO industry, webmasters are ready to exploit all possible channels of social media marketing to drive more traffic to their websites. Twitter is the latest trend in social networking that already has left its mark in the social as well as professional arena. So, there is no wonder that SEO service providers would want to use the potential of Twitter for search engine optimization.

Does Twitter have SEO Value?

Now there is a big question whether a link posted on Twitter passes link juice or not. Well, Twitter has SEO value which may not be direct but the other way. Twitter adds a “nofollow” attribute to all the links posted by its users. Search engines like Google, MSN may religiously obey “nofollow” instructions but there are other search engines (Ask.com) that doesn’t really pay attention to it.  So, webmasters who solely target Google might miss something by ignoring Twitter.

With millions of users registering every year Twitter definitely can be a source of organic traffic to your website if you know how to use it. Search engines might ignore the links posted on Twitter but they can not ignore a huge number of followers to a profile. Search engines give more importance to tweets by users having large number of followers than that of users with fewer followers.

Therefore, increasing the number of followers should be one’s prime objective while using Twitter for SEO purposes. Once you become a prominent figure on Twitter chances are your followers will visit most of the links you tweet. Thus Twitter can positively affect your site’s Alexa rank by driving traffic to your way. If you can bring visitors to your site via Twitter that will be an added advantage search engine marketers can not afford to ignore.

How to Use Your Twitter Profile for SEO?

Here is how you can make your Twitter profile work.

Profile: You need to choose your username carefully in order to rank with your profile. A crisp and relevant bio is a must to get noticed by both human users and search engines.

Tweet: What you tweet is the most important of all. Tweet regularly but not too much as it can annoy your followers as well. Like humans search engines also don’t like the idea of tweeting for marketing purpose only. Google can take frequent tweet with the same content as spam.

Hash Tags: Keywords preceded by a hash tag (#) help in getting a placement in twitter’s real time search as well as Google search. Instead of covering a broader term you’ll better focus in more specific keywords for better ranking. For example, if your profile refers to an Indian SEO company using #SEOIndia would be more accurate than just #SEO.

Re-tweet: Leverage the power of re-tweet option in Twitter by posting some really good and useful content. Use widely searched terms in your tweets; try tweeting unique and interesting facts related to popular topics. Posting useful links and content will automatically impel your followers to re-tweet and recommend your profile (FollowFriday recommendation) to their followers.

Twitter has taken over the social networking world by a sway with its revolutionary micro-blogging concept. From emails to blogs to tweets, written language is going the nano way. If blogging is a way of healthy social expression then twitter has made it possible to express umpteen emotions in just 140 characters. Its fast, its concise and you can race through hundreds of blogs, sorry, micro-blogs in no time. Purists have long rued over the fact that internet media has butchered the language. But, now the concern is not the language. It is the basic etiquette of conversation that is taking a severe beating. Especially with twitter, some do’s and don’ts should be followed to have a healthy tweeting atmosphere.

1. Avoid unintelligible short forms

It is sometimes difficult to stick to express everything in just 140 characters. So, you may end up using SMS style, extensive use of which will obfuscate your tweet. Make sure your tweets do not need extra effort to understand.

2. Avoid Upper-casing words

. One of the most important etiquette is in the usage of uppercase. It is never used to emphasize your point in a good way. It is akin to yelling. So, do not use uppercase under normal circumstances. What you perceive as emphasis of point may be perceived by your followers as “putting your foot down”.

3. Provide notes for short URLs

With the growth of twitter, a host of services became popular in tandem. The most significant of them is URL shortening services. With just 140 characters on hand you cannot afford to waste half the space for typing the URL. But, gone are the days when you can identify the site with its URL name. URLs of the form http://ih.gj/34p do not even remotely give the impression of a URL, let alone a proper word. So, when you tweet, make sure you give a small note of what the URL is about. Just a single word is sometimes sufficient.

4. Avoid tweeting mundane activities

Twitter is not a medium of live commentary on your daily trivial chores like drinking water, going to bathroom etc. Make sure that your personal tweets have some meaning. Twitter is a medium of personal expression, but it is not a sticky note with a to-do list. Tweets with mass appeal will draw encouraging responses and increase your followers.

5. Leverage the medium

A general trend that is observed is, following someone out of politeness. This is not a helpful practice. Make sure you follow only trusted people, the ones who have useful things to say. You do not want your page to be flooded with tweets that you will not even read.

Twitter is a great medium of concise expression. Tapping it the right way will open a whole new vista of social network.

<script src=’http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js‘ type=’text/javascript’>
</script>

And in order to replace @tweetmeme text in tweets that are made for your blog post, add your Twitter username in the following code shared below:

<script type=’text/javascript’>
tweetmeme_url=&#39;<data:post.url/>&#39;;
tweetmeme_source =&#39;Your Username&#39;;
</script>

Tweeting on Twitter is fun. If done in a smart and informed way, it becomes both fun and social success, and even business success, in case you are promoting your brand, services, or company. Experienced Twitterers perhaps already know the essentials of successful tweeting. However, a whole lot of beginners need some general helpful tips for staying on top of tweeting. Here are ten basic tips on smart tweeting.

1. Create an Attractive Profile

Your profile is your identity card seen first by a user. It creates your first impression so try to make it as good as possible. Include a nice-looking photo and an expressive, catchy line as your tweeting motto. Avoid offensive content.

2. Tweet Actively

This does not mean bombarding users with anything that flashes in your mind. Remember that actively means different from hyperactively. You should be neither too inactive to be forgotten nor too active to be blocked by your Twitter followers.

3. Refrain from Spamming

The last thing Twitterers want is spam mail. Trying to sell your product or brand etc to everyone with no personal message of mutual interest can leave you blocked. It is okay to include a URL of your site in your tweet but the whole message should never be expressly promotional.

4. Keep It Simple and Concise

With an upper limit of 140 characters Only for your message, keeping your tweet reader-friendly and concise is the best Twittering policy. Avoid all jargon and use commonly known abbreviations where needed instead of writing the complete words or phrases.

5. Flock with Your Like

Following everyone in the hope of drumming up their interest in you does not work well on Twitter (or elsewhere) for obvious reason – people generally tend to flock with like-minded folk. Therefore, choose to follow those users who share at least a few common or one major interest with you.

6. Stay Organized

Organizing your tweets saves you time and energy as well as makes your Twitter experience satisfactory. Many Twitter organizing tools are available online and can be chosen selectively according to your needs and priorities. Mashable has mentioned a list of twitter tools to organize your tweets.

7. Shorten Web Links

To save some space and make your tweet hip, tailor your URLs to remove the starting characters like www and http etc. You can simply tweet “scopeformoney.com” instead of http://www.scopeformoney.com/

8. No Plagiarism
