As I’ve reported elsewhere, I originally signed up with Twitter about 6 months ago and then gave it up because it seemed like a waste of time.
About three weeks ago, in response to the popular Perry Belcher videos I decided to give it another try.
Here are some conclusions so far:
1. You can definitely drive traffic with Twitter. You need followers, content, and well written tweets.
2. The best way to get followers seems to be to…
- define your niche properly
- keep cranking out tweets
- write tweets that get attention
- use the appropriate keywords in your tweets
3. If you have a stubborn niche, follow first in order to get followers. For example, I created an account called the “kwtweetnet” to see if I could zero in on just local tweeters (in the local Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario region). The best way to get followers is to find local tweeters (I used Twellow.com), follow them, and then wait for them to reciprocate.
Keep cranking out the tweets, but make them substantive pointing to good content on your target sites.
