Why Twitter Is One Of The Best Social Media Marketing Platforms

Twitter is a micro blogging platform, which allows you to post a 140 character message. These posts are made in real time, and you and your friends would be able to stay updated on what's on your mind or where you're at. So, how can Twitter help your website?

Twitter is the easiest to build - setting up your account with Twitter takes up the least amount of time. When you've already set up your account, you will be allowed to post links of your website, videos and blog.

Your friends may be able to view your "tweets". Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. You may restrict other people from viewing your tweets, or allow open access.

Do not underestimate how fast Twitter is growing, since it is one of the fastest growing social media marketing platforms today. More and more people are using Twitter, and the more people you follow in Twitter, the more people follow you. Then, these followers of yours are able to see all your tweets and updates.

When your account is newly set up, tweet five times before you follow. Find people you want to talk with, and show value and personality. Follow anytime of the day, and also, use the search option to find more people you would like to follow.

You may post links on Twitter, just like your Facebook Fan page link, or your Myspace blog. If you have some videos, post those videos and invite others to view! Make quality comments, these are very important because if you get a regular strain of comments on your posts, it makes your posts straight to the top of search engines.

In a nutshell, make sure you maximize the 140 character post in each tweet you make. Make headlines attention-grabbing, post notes on each URL you provide, and simply enjoy, have fun. You will be surprised with how much people you will meet, and how much traffic it can drive to your site in no time.
