how to use twitter for business and marketing

As a business finding a product that works can help establish a good base to build off of. However, once you have an amazing product or service it can be difficult to get a hold of enough eyes and ears to who trust you and will listen. A problem with traditional advertising is everything is too good to be true, so people do not trust it. people feel more comfortable buying from someone they know or buying after a recommendation from someone they know. This is where twitter helps business owners.

Like many other forms of social media, a good ad can go  long way in the sense that it can be passed around, shared and go from person to person. That's all fine and dandy, but any advertising should do that. The area where twitter makes a name for itself is in the way that it helps the seller gain trust. Like i said people feel more comfortable buying from someone they trust. With twitter along with time and dedication it is easy to gain the trust of people by regularly posting interesting and helpful tips or know how in the field of the product you are selling. Once people see the information that you post, if its any good  they will like it and will consider trustworthy and knowledgeable. Then when you come out with a product people will trust it and buy it since they already trust you more then the competitors. It is important however to not only post advice in the field of what you are selling. One because you will run out too quickly but mainly, you also want to be relateable. By that i mean make yourself seem friendly, funny and likable, and try only posting the tips or free stuff twice a week and the products once a month.

Now chances are that you wont have enough followers to make you you fortune, they will just boost business a bit. Luckily, not everyone needs to be your follower. Like i said before, people trust recommendations from friends, that means once you broadcast to your followers, if they like the product they will recommend to friends too. And what is an easier way to show something to your friends showing them over social media. Twitter is great for that because when people share they share too all of their followers. So when you get word out to your followers, the ones that like you and trust you may also put it out to their followers and that recommendation from a friend is what people trust. Just be sure to have a link or a picture because people prefer clicking to go a page instead of typing
