When you get internet traffic to your business the following good things will happen…

People will see your message, find out who you are and what you have to offer. You will be watched on Social Media, it is up to you to be consistent in your message in order for people to know, like and trust you.

You can become an authority in your niche. Become well known in your niche. The more internet traffic you can direct to your site the more well known you will become. The days of “build it and they will come” are long gone, you will have to work to get traffic to your site. The good news is that it gets easier as time goes by when you are consistent and provide value.

More internet traffic will result in more sales. As always the more eyes on your product or service the more sales you will make. We all like to believe that our product is good for everyone, but that is never the case. People are all at different times and places in their lives and business and will not all be ready for what you have to offer. I teach social marketing to clients or maintain their accounts for them and I know that people who do not even have a business yet will not be interested in my products and services. They are not ready.

More internet traffic will also result in you being able to make more money. When I started on the journey of building my business I had a coach who kept telling me “it’s not about the money” and that I needed to do things for free. I now understand that is not true, without money coming in I was unable to continue because it was costing me money to provide the information he kept telling me to provide. As a business person it is your responsibility to make money, you MUST do so in order to stay in business.

• The great feature of Twitter is that the results are in real time.  It is one of the most fluid platforms out there.  Many broadcast companies today check Twitter for the most up to date information.
• Start using hashtags (#) before the keywords in your posts.  This will make it easier for other people to find you as well.  It is a very good habit to create, but do not use so many that your Tweets are just a string of hashtags.  Here is an example I found that is challenging to read because there are so many hashtags. “#Social #Media #Strategy: Are You #Marketing or #Communicating?”
• Tapping into Twitter’s market analysis potential is one of the keys to your success.  It is how you will be able to find people who are looking for your product or service.
• Once you have completed a search read through the targeted tweets you’ve uncovered and locate potential partners or customers.  Keep these people on a list so that you can watch and RT their tweets.
• Once you have their attention you can reply to their posts that first attracted your attention, or you can send them a short direct message. The direct message is less invasive since the results don’t get posted on their profile.  However because of so many spam direct messages a lot of people do not read them.  You decide which method you prefer.  Keep your greeting friendly and always leave enough room to include a link to your website or blog.

You want to be sure to incorporate these 3 traits in as many of your tweets as possible…

1. Connect Emotionally
2. Be Creative
3. Make Every Character Count

Is all of this too much to incorportate into your already busy day?  Thinkin’ if yet “another thing” gets added to your plate you are going to scream?  Let us take the pressure off…

We will maintain your Twitter account for you, from the basic to the super deluxe, it’s up to you.  Head on over to TWITTER MAINTENCE and check us out!  It would be our pleasure to assist you.

This past week I attended the Niche Affiliate Marketing System Workshop where I got to meet Jeff Herring, The Article Marketing Guy.

I originally met Jeff Herring on Twitter, from there purchased a product on article writing. (and that’s a story too)  It is because I have been following his methods that I have been able to reach the glorious total of 200 articles published on-line.

In this video  you will see Jeff Herring and yours truly pushing the button together in order to upload the 200th article.  It was a HOOT!

When you “jump right in” to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc without knowing where you are going, you will end up nowhere. It is very important to have a strategy and a plan that you can measure so that you can determine whether or not all of your efforts are paying off. AND you do want your social media efforts to pay off in more clients and customers, right?

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. Jim Rohn

The same concept applies to your social media marketing. Here are 3 tips to incorporate social media into all aspects of your business.

Integration is critical or you will burn yourself out. When you create content do not use it for just one purpose, use it on different sites. YouTube has an option where you can post what you do over on your Facebook wall. Take advantage of that option. Check out the programs that you use, look for the option of sharing it is on many sites.

Incorporate social media into everything that you do. When you are out and about speaking with people ask if they are on Twitter, or suggest following each other or becoming friends on Facebook. Have your social media links in your auto signature on your email. Be sure to include them when you go to forums. Make sure that people know how to find you. I have a associate who has made t-shirts asking “Do You Follow Me on Twitter?” Get creative. Do what works well for your niche.

Plan your projects and content – Sit down in advance and think about the results you want. What social media platform will give you those results? What do you need to be saying and how are you saying it? When you have a plan it is much easier to keep your focus. You will be able to accomplish things much more easily. You need to get your strategy house in order. This can be as simple as planning out your next series of articles or posts. I had a client ask a question about mastermind groups, as a result I planned a little campaign around that very topic.

Enjoy!

Twitter lists can be a great advantage to you in your business. They assist you in keeping track of a specific group of people. You may want to keep track of your customers, keep in mind the maximum for any one list is 500. May we all be so prosperous to have more than 500 active, participating customers. Or you may want to keep track of potential customers, experts in your field and people who inspire you. It is your call to create lists that give you what you need.

Twitter allows each one of us to have 20 lists maximum.

Are you following anyone via your lists yet?

Each time you want to follow someone who fits the criteria of one of your lists you go to their Twitter page, click on Lists and add them to your appropriate list. For instance I coach and mentor social media marketing both on-line and locally, therefore I have a list titled “Vancouver”. Anyone who is in my immediate area goes into that list. Think carefully about the title of each of your lists. You will be surprised how quickly you can create your 20 lists. It is much more efficient to put thought in up front about how you are going to use your Twitter lists, rather than having to change everything around later.

When you attach people to your Twitter List you do not move them from your main Twitter stream. They appear both on your specific Twitter list and in your main Twitter stream. You can even put someone on multiple lists. Think of lists as a copy of something special you want to keep safe. You are saving the names in a special place that makes it easy for you to access.

For instance if you have a Social Media Marketing expert list, I should be on that list. They are for you to keep track of people that you want to keep an eye on. This will enable you to quickly respond to questions and comments or receive good advice and information.

Example I have all of the people who have signed up for the 30 free tips on a list. That way I can very easily and quickly RT everyone! Twitter lists are there to make your job easier. As we all know social media can consume a lot of your precious time and lists are one of the many ways you can be more efficient on-line.
