Are You Posting Good Content On Twitter For Your Business?
Now that you have an account, have done some following and have some followers it’s time to contribute and meet some new people. (Note, for the first few weeks I suggest following people in your niche or interested in your niche so that you build a base of people to build relationships with.)
The whole follow people and get followed back practice, in mass, was not very appealing to me before but I now mix up the techniques that I use to get followers.We can talk more about this in a bit. Today it is all content.
When I got started Tweeting I was only posting about things I did during the day. I was merely posting some of the things that I did that day. Maybe six to twelve posts per day. So I started to Tweet some of my more favorite quotes. I usually scheduled all of my quotes for the week on Sunday night. I was posting 2 to 3 quotes a day when I started.
I realized that I was earning a lot more followers by posting famous quotes than I had been gaining by Tweeting about myself. I knew I was adding value because the response was incredible. The more I interacted with the community the more people were following me.
So I tried the quotes for a while knowing that people were not really interested in what I was doing every day. So I started to post the links of my favorite blog content from my favorite bloggers. Once I began Tweeting links to my favorite content my number of followers grew exponentially. I have always tracked my favorite topics and all of the internet business niche keywords using Google Alerts. So I began to put Google Alerts to work.
Every morning I read through my Google Alerts and Tweeted links to my favorite blog posts and articles. I used Tweetlater to schedule all of these excellent stories and was attracting more followers than gaining before.
After seeing success from posting links to my favorite niche content I started posting links to my content. The more I wrote my own original content the more I Tweeted about and linked to my own site. And the more often I blogged the more Twitter followers I got and the more readers I acquired for my blog.
So I was testing a lot of content and began to figure out what my followers or potential followers had the most interest in.
