But what makes Twitter so popular that people won't stand a day not talking about it? Twitter is one good way to stay connected to your followers and to anyone you wish to stay in touch with. That is a given. But people are yet to realize that Twitter has become a platform that is truly beneficial to any business, online or offline.
Here are the 4 main benefits of using Twitter for your online & offline business:
- Impact. With continuous growth of "followers", people tend to become more and more responsive as you post informational, idea-imbued and meaningful content on your sites. Throwing out sales talk won't be a good idea, rather, stressing the opportunities you can offer is the best way to meet people's satisfaction and get their response.
- More Traffic To Your Website - You can't put enough value on FREE traffic to your website. Why do you think the top 25 ranked Twitter spots are being offered up to $250,000 to sell their accounts? As an online business owner I can tell you that SEO can take forever to get results and Google Pay Per Click can easily cost you $5K-$8K a month.
- Great Influence - As you build your tremendous number of followers, in time, your posted content will inspire, entertain and inform people. As your followers enjoy your valuable content over time, they will pay attention to anything you have to say. Doing extreme sales pitches is out of the question. Not only that it less interests people but it has become a bit of an eyesore to them.
- More Opportunities Lay - Twitter is built with a proximity filled with worth. Rare opportunities are in store for you. The opportunities you never came to realize become close to reality with Twitter. There are even marketers around the globe, that because of their Twitter profile, they're being encouraged to get into partnerships and expose themselves to TV shows. You spend less time with Twitter yet you can get to earn enormous amount of referrals and build your number of customers.
Like everything out there, Twitter will have it's "big run" and then die off as most things do. Look what happened to Myspace? That use to be the "big boy" in town and has since fallen off the map. So ride the Twitter Wave as best you can before the wave dies down.
Money is made if you make opportunities happen.
