Twitter? Is it working for you?

**edgray** · 08-06-2009, 11:05 AM

Hi Everyone,

I'm really interested to hear people's views on Twitter. Is it a useful marketing tool? Is it increasing sales? Brand awareness? Are you having success with it? Is it worth the time? Will it be around in a year?

I think it will be around for awhile and by the sig you can see that it's pretty woth while. It's a way to reach our people in a fast effective manner. On a personal note I can't twitter for sh#t.

I can't say it for now I don't twitter a lot. And I think you need genuine followers not just spammers in order to maximize twitter.

If you have lots of followers in twitter there's a possibility you can get sales .

From my personal experience twitter has increased traffic and sales, So i guess iam happy with it for now

I use twitter for many of my sites and have found it to be a good converter not only in my affiliate sites but in my member based sites but I only see a few hundred dollars a month from twiiter. The only problem I see with it is you need about 50 accounts in order to see real results from it. I see a better return on social bookmarking then i do from twitter as of right now.

I think the only people who are making real conversions off twitter right now are the people selling ebooks about how they make conversions from twitter.

PS: I had to design automation tool using their API to keep my twits updated on all of my accounts.

Twitter will certainly provide you with exposure. Eventually, your exposure may lead to someone who is interested in your services!

This is how Twitter can be used to be part of your marketing plan.

Twitter is good & i have get good traffic ...on my blog.

**acwebguru** · 08-18-2009, 09:31 AM

Do not mind but I personally believe that twitter is a bogus. I do not know why people are making hue and cry for it unnecessarily. Myspace and Facebook are good enough.

**kimkiroo** · 08-19-2009, 04:45 AM

In my opinion, it can only work if you have a lot of followers that is related to your niche/product that you are selling. I have heard some internet marketers doing it and say it works and they increase theyre sales but I am not sure on it.
