It’s amazing what you can convey in a text message that is limited to 140 characters. Many businesses are finding out that quantity is no replacement for quality when it comes to profiting from Twitter. It is the first social networking site that is based on text messaging. Individuals use it to keep friends and family updated with what is going on in their lives Savvy electronic marketers are learning how to harness the power of the text to grow their customer base, increasing revenue. Social networking is tremendously popular, and there is no evidence that it will be going away any time soon.

Small business owners as well as those who run home based businesses are finding that Twitter is a great way to spread the word about their products and services, without breaking the bank. However, it is important to remember that profiting from Twitter is not immediate. It takes time to cultivate a following, build trust and connect on a personal level with your customers. Simply sending out tons of tweets about sales and promotions will drive people away. Since exploding onto the social networking scene, Twitter has become popular with people of all ages, so there is no limit to the type of business or niche that can become profitable.

As with many social networking sites, it is important that you create the right personality. It should be professional looking with tightly focused profile information. Some of the most successful organizations that are profiting from Twitter are concentrating on niche marketing. There are many software products now available that can help you manage your tweets and track your followers. Showing interest in will encourage them to give you their business as you are now someone they know and trust. When you begin accumulating followers, you also begin to expand your potential customer base through referrals.

By increasing your social network marketing, you can decrease the amount spent on marketing while still reaching your target audience. Interacting with your customers will allow you to accumulate testimonials and create a more personal connection. By updating your content frequently, you can keep it fresh and active. Profiting from Twitter requires dedication, investing more time than money. Once your following is solid, you can begin to run dynamic contests and promotions. Customers enjoy being involved in interactive events. Use them to increase web site traffic, gain market share and boost brand awareness.

Re: NEW VIDEO - How to use Twitter to Market Products - Ask Evan - Hi Evan, Thank you for the video, I enjoyed watching your take on this. I must admit I have had mixed feelings about Twitter mainly because I always look at things like this from a 'how would I feel and how would I react’ perspective. Like you I have never been a one for clicking links and dislike being sold to on every single Tweet. I have always viewed Twitter as a relationship builder in the first instance but after watching the video I now feel that maybe I should explore and develop the contact and update side of it. thanks again Mal.
Re: Twitter, Social Networking: What's Your method? - I must admit that I spend very little time altogether on Twitter, but I do post my blog posts there and also anything that I find online that may be of interest I will Tweet. Apart from that I hardly go near it as I find that I just do not have enough hours in the day for everything. MichelleJ
Re: Who Said Twitter Doesn't Work...? - Hi Trent, I'd have to agree. I never intended to get deep into Twitter and rarely ever get on. Traffic is very minimal as you said, and I doubt that I'll ever make money with it unless I start getting paid to Tweet, and even then I'm not sure if that's worth it. Haven't looked into that yet, but it's definitely not even close to my main method of marketing for my business.
Re: Using Twitter To Double Your Traffic? - I'm sure in many cases Twitter sends more traffic than Search Engines because most people don't have good enough SE rankings to get SE traffic. But anyone can get Twitter traffic. The problem is that Twitter traffic won't convert for the most part and SE traffic will. I'd venture to say that 98% of the time getting just 100 visitors from search is better than getting 2000+ from Twitter.
