So You've Discovered Twitter...Now What?
Well pat yourself on the back. Because at least you know that you should be looking into this latest social networking fad called Twitter. And used correctly, Twitter can be a big boost to your online business. And, in fact, I am going to show you an online business further down in this blog that works fantastic with Twitter and you owe it to yourself to check it out. But for now, let's take a look at why Twitter sometimes doesn't produce the results one would expect:
But the reason Twitter doesn't really work for other types of businesses (for example, a hair loss product), is simply because of Twitter's own lack of marketing functionality.
For instance, often times someone with an online business will build quite an impressive following on Twitter, with hundreds or maybe even thousands of followers, but yet can't seem to make any sales whatsoever even though they send out lots of tweets about their product or service. Do you have any guesses as to why that might be?
Simply put, Twitter allows anyone, with any interests, to follow you. It doesn't really matter if they have an interest in online business opportunities or the latest drummer to spontaneous combust in the band "Spinal Tap". As long as you don't block them, then they can follow you and what is the chance they will be interested in your business? Slim to nada? Oh, you could get lucky and get an occasional lead or sale, but that's no way to accelerate your profit potential, now is it.
- Twitter works better for some types of businesses than with others
- Twitter is a great tool but lacks some key marketing functionality
- Twitter makes it easy to get followers (not always a good thing and you'll see why later)

Because what you are going to send them is a "Thank you" message for them signing up to follow you and then you are going to soft sale them to your web site where you will explain the product or service you are promoting. And that's what you want, right? Because what we all want is highly targeted traffic to our web site.
