Traffic Witch

One of the most potent ways of generating more online traffic today for you business is to make use of online social bookmarking and social networking tools. These tools are free and they magnify your outreach power the way electricity magnifies the projection (and volume) power of the guitar. Among such tools, the most powerful of all might be the simple website called Twitter (yes, that is the sound that a bird makes).
This amazing social networking tool is featured at the Traffic Witch blog at
http://www.trafficwitch.com/blog. And the term “Twitter” yields an astounding 225,000,000s listings if you conduct a quick Google search.

Twitter is simplicity itself to use. You sign up with a user name and password. You can add a photograph if you wish. And then…you start Twittering away. A “Twitter” is a message no longer than 140 characters including spaces. Every time you send out a message, it gets logged on Twitter and on your profile.

Others online and you can search Twitter for people that you think share your interests–and if you’re running an online business, interests could mean that they might be qualified leads or target market prospects. Twitter will also do an email contact search for you and find all of your email account’s contacts who have Twitter profiles; if you wish, and only if you wish, they will be emailed an invitation to add you to the list of those they follow on Twitter.

People who are following you get notified every time you make a new Twitter (sometimes called a “tweet”).

What do you Twitter about?

What you’re doing, personally or professionally works fine. For example, if you just added a new video to your website, Twitter about it. If you just bought a new Irish Setter, Twitter about it. This keeps you fresh and active, and it gives people a chance to glimpse who you are and what you do without you having to sell them or market directly to them.

You should never Twitter anything that sounds like a sales pitch. You’ll really put people off if you do.

Furthermore, you should not post a new Twitter message more than five or six times in one day, for if you do more than that you come off as either a spammer or as someone who must not be very busy with his business.

Note: Twitter does have a direct message feature, so that once you have some rapport established with a person you can send her an exclusive private message.


The Twitter Basics
So, to make use of Twitter to get yourself more online traffic, you:

- Twitter early, Twitter often. Spread the message about who you are and what you do and keep the world updated about your latest and greatest endeavors. time it’s quite possible to build a following of hundreds of thousands of people.

- When you Twitter, post something interesting or useful to other people–do not post sales pitches or shameless self-promotion. People who like you will come to you about business, if they have a possible need for you.
