Many online markers fail to understand the power that exists with social media marketing and as a result fail to grow their business and twitter is no exception. Twitter is all about connecting with people in real time using short sweet conversational elements. Once you understand how to unlock twitter's secrets then twitter marketing becomes a breeze.
A concept that's crucial to understand on twitter is what I call social intimacy. Science has shown that people tend to be more open and friendly online with people they don't know then they otherwise would be in real life. This is because of the perceived distance that cyberspace creates. What this means to you as a marketer is people will tend to be more open to your proposals if you understand how to interact with them on a social level rather then just using twitter as a means to push sales pitch after sales pitch.
Tweets are short and in real time. Limited to only 140 characters you don't have all day to try and grab someone's attention. In fact you need to be able to do it now and probably within five seconds.
With twitter marketing it doesn't matter the niche your in, because it's all about being able to create short conversations that are relevant and to the point. Once you understand how to interact on a social level without being a blatant marketer then you'll be in a position to unlock the power of social intimacy.
The easiest way to create social intimacy is with the power of gratitude. Showing gratitude is one of the best ways to create a connection and allows you start a social connection that has genuine value. Then you'll be in a position to promote yourself without it coming off as a blatant marketing promo.
