Twitter is another great free traffic promotional tool. Though it can take awhile to see results from this tactic due to the fact that you must first build an audience of followers, targeted to be your customers, it is worth checking out.
In order for Twitter to work, you must become actively involved with the community and do more than just talk about yourself and what you have to offer. If the only thing you do is talk about yourself, then no one is going to listen, and you’ll quickly get lost in the shuffle.
Like you do with forum marketing, take the time to find things that will be useful to your audience, whether or not they are yours originally. For every piece of your own content you share, share at least 10 others that don’t originate with you. The relationships you create on Twitter can help you find others who will share your content with their followers, if you share theirs with yours.
Using a tool such as Prismatic can help you find useful information in nearly any niche you can imagine. Prismatic comes with automatic share links, but if you want to save yourself time and batch your social media efforts, you can use a tool such as HootSuite Pro. For just $5.99/month, you will have the ability to schedule posts. Though it can be tempting, you should never automate all your social media efforts—if people realize there is not a real person behind the account, they’ll ignore it and you’ll get lost in the shuffle.
