Ceative Indie Marketing & 2 Ways To Use Twitter

Do you have a Twitter account but you’re not quite sure what to do with or how it will benefit your product? Well I was in that same boat for about a year then the light came on. What is the question Twitter is always asking? “What are you doing?” right? So what are you doing in terms of your business, that is?

I am a musician and an author, so when I tweet I tend to talk about things that deal with music and writing. Even if all I am doing is taking a walk, I tie it into my music or writing somehow. Like I’ll tweet I just wrote a slammin’ melody while walking today. Hope to share it w/ you soon! This helps people learn more about my interest.

Twitter is a place to meet people, not to make a sale, so once I have a crowd that’s interested in what I do I send them to my other social sites so that they can get to know even more about me.

Another hurdle is having adequate followers to tweet to. Here are a few tips on how to quickly grow your list. I suggest you open an account at www.socialoomph.com. You can set up you account to automatically follow whoever follows you. Also, if you are simply too busy to tweet 10 times a day, you can pre-write your tweets and schedule them to post through out the day.

After you’ve done that, place in the “find friends” keywords of the type of tweeters you want to follow and follow them. Generally they will follow you in return as common courtesy.

Here is the key to gaining followers quickly. Twitter allows you to 70 new follows per hour and doesn’t take long to get up to 70. Depending on how much time you have, you can jump from a few followers to 250 in as little as two days.

So get to tweeting and gain new followers today.
