The Internet is still buzzing about the power of Social Media. But the question remains: can you use Social Media for practical things like list building, traffic generation, and profits? The answer is yes to all three, and in this article we are going to focus on how to use Twitter for list building. Let's take a closer look:
First of all, a word of warning: Twitter, and all of Social Media, is not the Holy Grail. They are tools, just like anything else. And when used properly and creatively, they can be one of the many tools you can use to building your list, generate traffic, and create profits for your business, online or offline.
Your Twitter List
It's a little a funny when people ask me "Can Twitter help you build your list?" Usually I ask "Do you have any Twitter followers?" When they answer yes I point out that your Twitter followers are part of your list - your Twitter list.
I guess some folks think that just because someone from their Twitter followers is not on their email list means they are not a part of your list community. This could not be further from the truth.
Your Twitter followers (your Twitter list community) is a viable list that is just as important as your email list, and in many ways more so. With your Twitter list you do not have to worry about spam filters and you can communicate with your Twitter followers several times a day.
Your Email List
By sending a "tweet" inviting my Twitter list to one of my opt-in pages to get more good information from me in exchange for their email address, I build my email list everyday with Twitter. I recommend you do the same thing each day on Twitter.
