Not just internet marketers, but local businesses and even multi-national corporations are using Twitter as a powerful marketing tool to stay in contact with their customers, and promote their products.
To say that you should be using Twitter as a source to stay in contact, or even meet other people who are possible customers of yours would be a gross understatement. The reality is that if you aren't you're hurting you're leaving tremendous amounts of money on the table.
So let's dive into the two most important Twitter marketing strategies. But before we get there, it's important to know that after you create your free account on Twitter you should take the extra few minutes to update your profile to include personal information and a photo of yourself of your business. Once you have that done you're ready to get get marketing for your business.
Now there are a few ways to go about making money on Twitter. One very important and powerful method is to answer questions that people have about the your niche.

The next strategy that is definitely one of the most popular is to build a large list of followers who are interested in your niche. Let's assume you have a Wordpress plugin for sale. You simple find people who have chose Wordpress as one of their interests, and add them. After a few days, if people don't follow you back, simply unfollow them. This will build you a large list of people who are interested in your niche.
Unfortunately like many other effective internet marketing strategies, Twitter marketing can and will take up a lot of your time if you do it manually. But if you stick with it you will have built yourself an incredible marketing tool that will make you wonder how you ever lived without it.
