So you ask, “how do I shorten my links?” Easy. Simply go to Bitly.com. This service is setup
to shorten your links which in turn will allow you to write more characters in your tweet and
still gives your followers the ability to click on your link taking them to wherever it is you want
to them to be sent to.
This is a very useful tool that you need to use so that not only can you get your message
across to your followers through more words but also still effectively provide them with the
link to where you want them to go.
Step 6
The sixth step has to do with direct messaging with your followers. You will receive tons of
direct messages each day and the more followers you add to your list the more direct
message you will see trickling through. As we all know the 1 direct message can quickly turn
into 20 or even 50 in as little as no time.
So you want to make sure that you are answering at least 10 direct messages each day. It is
also very important that you identify who are the right followers to answer back to. You want
to answer the people who seem like they want to work with you and who are qualified when
it comes to what you actually have to offer them.
It is important that you know that you are not trying to sell them but more less build a
relationship. In the long run your followers will be very inquisitive as to what you actually do
and then they will be more inclined to clicking on your website or services and then
potentially becoming a customer of yours.
Step 7
In step seven you want to basically retrace your steps of how you have been using marketing
prior to using Twitter. Like I said before, virtually every aspect of the internet has turned to
social networks. Sites like YouTube, article submission directories, auto responder services,
and blog services are all jumping on the bandwagon to provide you access to tweeting
whatever it is that you are doing.
This alleviates a lot of time on your part because you are not having to take the extra time
out of your day to tweet each and every single tweet that you send out. Many people don't
