My First Twitter Cash - $113.40

You’ve definately heard of Twitter right?

OK. I’ve been meaning to have a real look at Twitter for some time now but I’ve been busy with one thing or another and found myself not really paying attention to its real power, especially for someone with a little marketing know how.

I started off just setting up an account and that got left for a week or so with just a few tweets. Anyway, I’m starting to get a grip on myself and get a little more focussed in my minimal time I actually spend working. I’m not even letting the British Summer hook me in (even though I know how short they can be).

I thought to myself the other day, shall I go out on the Jet Ski or….

I had to stop myself and refocus, I decided, now is the time for me to get going on the whole Twitter phenonenom.

Over the last week I have been messing around sending Tweets and adding followers to my profile. I think I have added about 600 in the last 6 days more by coincidence than know how. Anyway, I messed around with a few tactics and noticed I got a spike in traffic to my blog when I posted the IM Tip #1 post. When I checked out where the traffic had come from I was quite amazed to learn that 200+ visits had come from Twitter alone.

I spend a few hours lining up a promotion purely for Twitter and after sending out a tweet on Tuesday I had to pop out. I came back that evening totally forgetting what I had done. But after checking my email I had 7 email notifications for sales. I had no idea where they had come from as it wasn’t for anything I had lined up. Honestly - it took me another hour to realise that they had come from my tweet - $113 from one tweet.

I may have had my doubts about whether this would work or not but I am now going to make Twitter one of my main marketing tools. There is a product that I can recommend to you that explains all the steps I took to achieve this goal and a whole lot more but it has not been released just yet. So that will have to come later.

Happy tweeting.
