My eyes froze on a post that read “How I find customers and make money with Twitter” while I was going through my feed reader. I was curious to know that what are the other tricks that Twitter users are using to market their products or services. I’ll say that there was nothing new in that post, however I realized that I haven’t shared this simplest trick with any one of you.
Marko Saric is right about the fact that -
The key concept of Twitter is the real-time search. Google generally works with old material while a search on Twitter gives you real-time information on topics people discuss. It is a real technological advance and it can be used for you to promote your services, show your quality, get customers and earn money on Twitter.
Twitter is one place where bloggers are present and are pretty active in sharing links and their views on various topics around the world. They actively ask questions and share their problems too. This is where I try to take benefit of the real-time search through TweetDeck by searching for the term ProBlogger & WordPress.
Why do I search for the terms Problogger & WordPress?
Darren’s twitter handle is “Problogger” so whenever some one replies to him or if they retweet his tweets, it all appears in my the search results. This way I get to know that who all are interested in reading Darren’s content and love to interact with him. As Darren’s followers are mostly bloggers and our client base are bloggers too, so it makes sense for me to follow them and interact with them too and with the help of real-time search, it just becomes easier for me to find all of them.
I also search for the term “WordPress” as that helps me keep track of latest happening around WordPress and if some blogger posts a problem around WordPress or if they are interested in custom wordpress theme, then I can easily interact with them.
So, isn’t this a nice way of attracting more clients and for building relationship with new bloggers? Do you know any other method through which you market your products or services through twitter?
I found your link on Twitter. Thanks for sharing a really practical small business tip.
And nice work too!
