They key to getting more Twitter followers is running the right Twitter promotions. In fact, the process is very simple and there are many tools available to help speed up the process.
So, what's the secret you ask? Well it's really simple so let's see if you can guess what it is. Before we get into this, can you follow us on Twitter? How about you tweet on Twitter and include a link to this article? No? Why not? What's in it for you, you ask? Nothing. But wait, what if we told you by following us on Twitter you'd be entered to win a free iPad 2. What's your answer now? What if we told you, by tweeting about this promotion, you'd receive 20% off any item from our store? Sounds a little more interesting, right?
Well that's the key! Incentivize an action and get the goal you want. Now, of course you can do this on your own, but there are many services out there that help you get the job done and automate it for you. So with that said, take advantage of this new method you've learned and watch the magic happen. We aren't saying you're going to get a million followers overnight, that just doesn't happen, but if you stay consistent with your Twitter promotions and keep your users engaged and you will reach your goals.
Depending on your business, there are various incentives you can offer to help grow your Twitter following. If you are in the restaurant business, you can offer a free appetizer, a specific percentage off, perhaps a free drink or desert, or maybe a buy one get one free promotion. If you are an e-commerce store, you can offer a percentage off or maybe free shipping. Some providers even allow you to redirect traffic back to your page, post participation! If you are in the services business, you can of course offer something like a 30 minute consultation for free, or offer a discount for your service.
So you see the possibilities are endless, the creativity is in your hands. The better the incentive, the bigger the growth of your Twitter followers. Don't forget, your first promotion may not live up to what you thought it would be but social media marketing is not an overnight success for most people. It takes some time and effort but at the end of the day, hard work will get you there!
