My Experiences On Twitter Marketing
A couple of ago, it was hard to dismiss the buzz online about Twitter marketing tools. It was thought that you could use Twitter as an effective way to grow a list of potential purchasers for your products or services. Cutting through the hype, just what kind of results can you anticipate after using these Twitter marketing tools? In today's article, we are going to be talking about Twitter marketing and if it is even worth it for you to get involved with it. Look over this social media website list to help you.
Anxious to increase my product sales, I went ahead and started Twitter marketing to create a large list of followers hoping to turn them into customers. Not only did I put out money to register in programs that would bring me followers but I invested in a few softwares to help advertise the products I was selling. All in all, I think I bought about 8 software programs to help with my Twitter marketing adventure.
I paide for a program that would automatically follow people for me in an attempt to have them follow me back. Individuals who were not following me on Twitter would be automatically taken off my follow list by another tool I had bought. This would enable me to follow many people once more to get them to follow me. Some of the tools I bought are not interesting enough to talk about but I will just mention a helpful program that auto-Tweeted any blog posts I made each time they were published. Initially, I was truly pleased with the end results after using the programs in combination because they really delivered on what they promised. But as soon as it seemed I wasn't generating any money, my initial enthusiasm was soon dampened. Every day I would post more or less ten blog entries knowing that they would then automatically be shown on Twitter also. Aiming to increase the number of daily posts, I discovered a way to automatically post any number of entries to my blog and hopefully gain more Twitter followers.
So, the following are my results: In three years, I was able to have a Twitter following of roughly 10,000 users. I bet you think this is an impressive number, but I'm not done yet: During those three years I had affiliate links to my products on at least 15,000 blog postings in my Twitter account. Other than that, I did no additional promotion for that blog, as a matter of fact I didn't even ping the new blog entries to determine how good Twitter was could be. Well, you can't say that 3 years isn't long enough to achieve decent results but using Twitter I just got 2 - 4 visitors daily to my blog. My affiliate earnings from 2 sales was $47 and to that you can add $8.65 Adsense revenue - pretty dismal all around!
Even with close on 10,000 Twitter followers and using software automation, it seems that this is not adequate to generate money marketing with Twitter. In fact, in the last 3 years I have not even pulled in good money from that blog to pay for the Twitter programs that I had purchased. There might be other effective methods of promoting on Twitter, but from my experience, using automatic software tools is not one of them.
