Tweeting Your Way to the Top!

Twitter is the best way to get readers to your blog. Build a following on twitter, use the proper #hashtag and throw in some good content and you will have a traffic driving machine.  Notice I said build a following. You have got to engage and build a relationship with people to gain this following but when you do its pay dirt. If You Use twitter for business building a following to dive traffic to your business blog is priority number 1.

Your twitter buddies will enjoy reading what you write if they like what you have to tweet! Those tweets and to be more than links to your latest posts, more than quotes and not just about what’s great about you. Engage. Hi @twitterfriend what’s up? Hiya (Name) @twitterfriend how’s it going? Yes, talk to people and listen to what they say.  Search a topic and location in search.twitter.com in the advanced setting and name your topic then listen. Ah, there’s a good one. They are talking about my favorite football team. I’m hoping in that conversation. Presto, you have new friends.

Follow people that are likely to follow you back. If someone is following 500 accounts and has 20k followers, they aren’t likely to engage with you. People who follow close to the same amount of accounts as they follow are out there to engage and see what you have to say.

 The cool thing about Twitter is # tags. If you tag it in the appropriate category anyone that searches that topic can find it. You get to be in the awesome twitter search engine under the topic YOU pick. That takes some time in Google.

Engage with people and don’t just broadcast your post.

Follow people who are interesting in the same thing as you.

Use the right hash tags.
