Twitter can be an excellent way to grow your business, but to do that you need to get a lot of followers.  For example, I have 55 followers right now.  Do you know how many of them click my links when I post them? One maybe two people.  Many of my followers are are on there only to sell affiliate products, but a few of them are real people.

Affiliate Marketing – Twitter Revealed – Four Ways To Use Twitter To market Your product For Free

By: Tracy Tyler

1. Build a Complete Profile. You want people to feel comfortable knowing who they are dealing with

and to do this you want to add a picture to your profile with a short bio and make sure you include

your web address where they can see what you have to offer them.

2. Build Your Following. Use twitter’s advanced search and put in keywords relating to your service and you will find twitter users who have mentioned those keywords in their profiles. Click on their

profile and “FOLLOW” them and they will get a notice that you have followed them and in return can also

decide to follow you. Now your developing a targeted audience.

3. Use Twitter Search Tool Each Day. Come up with a list of different keywords that relate to your unique service and search each day for different keywords and follow those people who make up your targeted audience. You will want to also look at who is following them and proceed to following those people as well because if they are following your initial person searched then you can presume they will also be interested in what you have to offer.

4. Tweet Every Day. Send out tweets to your followers to let them know you are a real person and not just a bot spamming twitter. PLEASE NO SPAMMING or twitter will delete your account and you will lose all the time you spent only to start again. You can send out simple tweets of the weather in your area or what your doing that day or any helpful links and info that may add value to your followers life. If your sending out links make sure your using a link shortening service like bit.Ly or one of your choice.

Its simple to use and promote on twitter and also a lot of fun. You can also learn a lot from other people

on twitter as well. Welcome it and jump in and build your business.

There is a debate going as to how effective twitter can be for your business. It starts with getting followers.  If you have followers than you will be more likely to drive traffic to your site which should increase  your revenue.  Here is an article about how to get more followers in twitter.

How to Cheat Twitter and Get More Followers

I’m going to save you at least $20-$200 today. I’m going to tell you the “secret” that so many websites with extremely long copy and bogus “complete online marketing strategies” will charge you for, with, shall we say, notes.

Many, but not all, of the “Social Media Experts” (see an interesting post that’s all the buzz by Mashable on the fact there’s over 15,000 of them) as well as other online pitch people will have tens of thousands of followers – and yet Tweet inane crap and rarely if ever conversate – or they use this technique, stop it once they’ve hit critical mass (5k, 10k followers), then play dumb and change their stripes.

We don’t use this procedure, have not used this, but I’ve seen it done and we’ve been asked by former clients to do it. To be clear, if we can’t set them on the right path, we fire them at that point. This is what many social media agencies assign to their interns to do, or you can do at home yourself.

Here’s how to get your useless Twitter followers:

Step 1: Follow People, 30-50 At A Time
Start following lots of people. But only so many in a day – 30, 40, 50, depending on how finnicky Twitter’s spam bots are – and then wait for a day or three. Many times, you can use keywords to semi-focus yourself (though they rarely work well because of context) or use the cover of the #FollowFriday or one of the top trending hashtags for this. Sometimes, people push it and go into the hundreds – I’ve seen it work, but to Twitters’ credit, they’re getting better at stopping this.    –more
