Alright I’ve waited long enough. Friday is my birthday and I plan on celebrating in style. I’m going to buy Marko Saric’s Twitter Marketing e-book.
I’ve taken a few days off work and I’ve completed almost all of the house chores, so its time to start some blogging! Actually, I’ve got about 4 blog drafts waiting to be finished, and a score more things to write about.
But what I’m finally going to do is buy Marko Saric’s Twitter Marketing e-book. It’s like a birthday gift for myself!
I’ve done my best with Twitter so far to help drive traffic to my blogs. It definitely works. When I tweet about a new post, I get a bunch of hits from Twitter and then it dies off. I’m doing OK with some SEO just by having well formed post titles, URLS and meta keywords, so you could say Twitter is the only other way my site gets marketed. I’m small and I’m still growing my readership.
I’ve split my time between a number of Twitter accounts and I’ve been tracking how well some posts get attention. My @typegeek account has a small number of followers, but all tweets are targeted to this site and deal with graphic design or typography. The clicks per followe is quite high, compared to my other account @rickhenderson which is more general, more internet marketing, more health and wellness stuff. I have over 100+ followers but when I tweet about stuff for this site the clicks per follower is quite lower since its just not targeted. I use HootSuite because it allows me to track the clicks on shortened URLs and I have not found a Twitter client that does the same yet. I am trying Twirl again at work, and may install Tweetdeck and give it one more try to see if I can add my favourite people to a “Friend” list and not have to weed through all the garbage that comes from some people’s accounts. I’m sure you know what I mean.
Until now, my main method of gaining followers was finding topics in Twitter search, then adding people who were talking about it. I have very rarely deleted people who didn’t follow me back, but I have once or twice unfollowed people who posted too often about irrelevant material. That’s just the way I am.
So that’s my experience up until now. I’m buying Marko’s e-book and perhaps if time allows I’ll write posts about how well his techniques work.
