Why You Are Using Twitter All Wrong and How to Fix this Mistake

Are you a hyper tweeter? Maybe you are a selfish tweeter? Or perhaps you never show up on the micro-blogging platform, attracting a nice big audience of crickets. In any case, you are using twitter all wrong if you take any of these approaches, and if you are using twitter all wrong I can guarantee that you are not making money online with the network.

You only make money, persistently, at least, if you help other people make money. This is the way the twitter game, or online game, works. You create value, you share value, you build your network, and then the money flows in with increasing ease.

Why is it that so many people screw up twitter, then? Why do so few use the network properly? Well there is one undermining emotion which kills most folk’s twitter campaign, and it is fear.

Fear Kills Your Twitter Campaign in Its Tracks

Just open your twitter account now. Observe your stream to see what the average person is tweeting. Maybe you see hyper tweeters, individuals who tweet every minute for sustained periods each day. Or you see people who are selfish tweeters, individuals who never retweet, or share content from their fellow tweeters.

These individuals send off a desperate, selfish vibe, and of course, they scare away any potential customers or clients, with this self-centered approach. Maybe you see people who tweet once a day, or who tweet once a week. How long would a daily newspaper remain in circulation if it published once a week? Not too long, methinks, which is why infrequent ghost tweeters make zero impact in the twitter realm.

You must guard against these mistakes if you hope to make a firm impress on the minds of your followers. If you hope to make money online with twitter you need to give up some serious value, meaning that you must tweet content rich blog posts, articles and videos on a persistent basis, to prosper online with the platform.

Practical Tips for Killing Your Twitter Struggles Today

Tweet at least 10 to 20 times each day, spacing out your tweets to remain active and visible. You will attract targeted twitter followers and make money online if you decide to show up and tweet your best stuff on a daily basis. You must commit to tweeting persistently, without stuffing the stream for hours on end, of course, if you want to really do well on the microblogging platform.

Also, promote the heck out of your twitter buddies by re-tweeting their content on a persistent basis. By doing this you demonstrate the fact that you are a generous, giving tweeter, and generous people do quite well on twitter, or heck, online or offline. Everybody loves a giver, so if you are willing to share your stream you will certainly attract more followers and make more connections which leads to prospering for all parties involved.

Engage frequently to prove that you are a person, not a profile. Too many tweeters never engage, choosing to stuff their stream with links all day. This is the wrong way to do twitter, as you will simply turn off people who seeks a person, someone to make a real connection with.

Chat people up. Spend time engaging with your audience on a daily basis to become more attractive and to make more money on the network. Engaging is a great secret to online business success, as when you open up and establish a 2 way street leads usually flow in with ease.

Use these tips to tweet effectively today.
