Twitter – How To Effectively Use it For Networking
Twitter is the fastest growing social networking site on the Internet, and is a very popular subject within Internet marketing circles. Some people are still not convinced of its value as a genuine marketing tool, but serious marketers have not only realized that, but are already using it to drive traffic to their web properties and, ultimately, to make money.
When you’re just getting started on Twitter, things can seem hectic or confusing. To get yourself hooked up with some followers who have similar interests as you, think of a popular online community that you frequent and start following people you know there. If you are active in this online community, then people will start to notice you and follow you as well.
Having gotten yourself a decent amount of followers, the next step is to start tweeting. Bear in mind that when you tweet, self promotion isn’t the aim – always think about what your can genuinely offer others. Keep away from tweeting about what you ate for breakfast and what you’ll be watching on TV later; the fact is that others don’t care about this and you will soon annoy people if you take this approach to tweeting. Each and every one of your tweets should provide value to your followers (some, if not all of them), and that means they need to be telling them something useful that they probably don’t already know.
There are also a plethora of tools on the Internet that integrate with Twitter to provide greater functionality and options. Some of these tools provide options to automate some of your Twitter activities, such as automatically following those who follow you, or automatically sending welcome messages to those who follow you. Be wary of automating too much though as the whole point of Twitter is that it is a ’social’ site, and the parts of it you automate the less interaction you have with other Twitter users. Still, there are some great tools out there, the best of which you can find by simply searching for ‘twitter tools’ on a search engine.
As well as simply sending information out to your followers, Twitter is great for building new contacts by getting involved in conversations and answering others questions. If someone makes an interesting tweet, then tweet back that you found their tweet helpful and maybe add something to what they originally tweeted. Or, if someone tweets about something that you don’t know about that, then tweet back to ask them for more details on it.
Basically, the more times you tweet and interact, the more trust and respect will be built. Once there is trust and respect between you, then that’s when a viral networking effect begins. As soon as you start building your network on Twitter, you’ll find that your follower base will start to grow on its own without any additional effort on your part.
