Using Twitter For Profits: Convert Twitter Traffic Into Your Traffic

Using Twitter to link to your site is a great way to increase profits. The key to success is to persuade your tweet readers to click your link rather than read their next tweet. So how do you link effectively?

Getting your tweets seen is a good starting point. For your tweets with links to your site you want to maximise their potential to be seen. A couple of simple steps that you can take to help are to include keywords and to leave room for retweets.
Having keywords in your tweets will make them easier to find by people interested in what you have to offer.

Leaving blank space in your tweets makes it easier for someone to retweet them without having to edit your tweet. Being retweeted you’re reaching more people and these new readers are in effect getting a personal recommendation from the person retweeting.

To help keep your tweets compact always use a URL shortener. This not only greatly reduces the size of the link but also disguises where the link goes adding to its curiosity value. Some URL shorteners allow you do some analysis on which links are being used. This could be very useful for finding out which links are working for you and which aren’t.

To avoid your links being ignored it helps if you can get your followers to click on your links out of habit. When you tweet about general stuff include links to cool sites, news stories, You Tube videos etc. Not only does this help build rapport with your followers and when they see a link in your tweets they don’t automatically think spam.

When linking back to your site link to the exact page you want them to go to. So if you’re tweeting about a new product send them to that products page and not a page with a list of your entire range.

Try to present your link in an interesting way so avoid going “this is my new product, click this link” and come up with something more engaging.

You can make money with Twitter if you can turn readers in to clickers. All it takes is a bit of effort and creativity to make you links findable and interesting.
