Quality.The number one thing you should focus on when using twitter for marketing purposes is quality. Sadly like all social media Twitter is full of spam. If you do it wrong Twitter will be a horrible and confusing experience and provide nothing but worries. But if you learn how to find the right people to follow and how to get the right people for you, Twitter will be a entertaining, addicting and money making website for you. So how do you find the right prospects? Go to tweepsearchand search for, lets say "internet marketer". Then people that have listed this in their bio shows up. Try not to choose the ones with thousands and thousands of followers. Choose a person, that has f.ex 500 followers. Go into their Twitter profile and follow the people that are following them. Do NOT follow companies and "get rich quick" scams, follow users that has a personal photo and a real name listed. If you do not want to do this manually you can use humminbirdand automate the hole process.
Find people in need of your services.My good friend Sean Malarkey (the author of Twixplode) tough me a awesome way to do this. Set up a account on Hootsuite. Lets say you have a store that sells car paint. Search for "scratched my car" and save the search. In that way, every time someone tweets those words you will see it on your dashboard and you can easily send them a DM or a @reply. This will really boost your traffic.
Build relationship with your followers.You should never find people and go sell sell sell. Build a relationship with them over time and interact with them. Always share things of value. Reply to your not-spammy DM's and Re-tweet tweets you find interesting. Write a strong bio and call yourself an expert in what you do. People really love experts!
Happy tweeting!
