So many marketers dismiss the power of new social networks as a flash in the pan or asinine and immature. However, considering that a significant consumer base with up and rising spending power uses such social networks as MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter, it would be more asinine to ignore growing social network trends. Twitter, an immediate update web site can garner a tremendous viewership for your product, so it is in your best interest to consider Twitter marketing among your marketing plans.

For one thing, you get a leg up over the companies that are ignoring Twitter as market to create buzz for a new product. As just another way to spread the word and network your product, it would be foolish to ignore the possibilities. Twitter also allows you to break immediate news from your phone or electronic organizer about companies and trends from conferences or dinners; real time news about your product and its advertising can also be used on Twitter to build a community that supports your product and, in turn, acts as advertising agents themselves.

Twitter marketing also allows companies to spread the news of sales or deals, sometimes exclusive to the Twitter community – this inspires more potential clients to join Twitter for those deals and only adds to your growing network of supporters. In addition, Twitter marketing allows you to continue branding your product, spreading the product over a vast, networking web.

Twitter is not the most reliable marketing tool – even with companies reluctant to use it as a marketing tool, there are still thousands upon thousands of people tweeting their own lives and businesses and links on the network, and it is easy to get lost among the chatter. Twitter also occasionally suffers slowdowns because it is still a new social networks whose servers have not completely adjusted to the tremendous traffic.

But if used to its best advantage, it can still be an incredibly effective marketing tool as well as a way to connect already existing business networks and staying in real-time touch with clients and colleagues. It is simply another way to build those business relationships and maintain them in a singularly modern way.

Twitter Marketing Just One Aspect of Online Marketing Mix

Advanced Twitter marketing research has shown a lot of different ways to use Twitter in your Internet and affiliate marketing, but unfortunately too many novice marketers are now starting to use Twitter as their main, or only, form of online promotion. As much as I love Twitter and it’s potential profit paths for an online business, I STRONGLY recommend AGAINST using Twitter as your main marketing activity.Why? First, Twitter doesn’t belong to you – meaning the owners could at any time shut it down. In almost 13 years online now I’ve seen a number of big sites come and go, and while Twitter seems firmly rooted at the moment, remember that they still haven’t monetized the service. Even with the business brilliance of Biz Stone & crew, and the small staff they’ve stayed to, they do have some good-sized expenditures for hardware, bandwidth, etc. Sooner or later the bills have to be paid, and I for one will feel much more comfortable about Twitter’s future once they have a monetization system set up and working well.

Second, the service could be doing fine – but still shut down YOUR account. There have been a few days recently when 50 or 100 accounts are suddenly suspended for ‘suspicious activity’. Seems the way they’ve kept the spammers out is by applying algorithms that knock out any suspicious behavior – but as with all such systems, some get clipped that haven’t broken any rules. So far Twitter has been impressively fast in restoring accounts caught in the crossfire, but what happens when the number of users and user accounts doubles or quadruples?

Having your account down for 3 or 4 days may not seem like much of a problem, but if it’s your main promotional vehicle and those 3 or 4 days coincide with your big launch, or the launch of an affiliate marketing opportunity, it could mean missing out on thousands of dollars in sales or commissions!

The third (and most important) reason is the same reason Twitter is so perfect as part of your marketing mix. Targeted traffic from Twitter is instant – you tweet, some of your followers see it and a percentage of them click through to your link. How many do depends on a myriad of factors – but mostly on how targeted your following is and how many see that tweet.

So why is that a disadvantage? Because within a minute or two, your tweet has scrolled off-screen for anyone except those that have you in their ‘VIP list’ in some interfaces. So to keep traffic coming in, you have to keep tweeting that same tweet a few times a day every day. As soon as you move on to another opportunity, traffic from Twitter to that first link dries up pretty quickly.

Compare that to article marketing, podcasts or video submissions, that potentially continue to drive traffic for you for days, weeks, months and even years in some cases. Blog posts are another great example of this, for while your current posts get the most action for you, some of your earlier posts may still generate a lot of traffic through being found in the search engines, blog directories, podcast directories, etc.

So just as when marketing in the offline world, keep your online marketing mix balanced using a combination of immediate traffic generation, mid-term strategies and long-term targeted traffic magnets. With a good balance you can have a good launch, then continue to see sales from that product, service or affiliate marketing promotion for some time to come as you turn your focus to your next money-making opportunity!
