Comment RSSHow to Get Twitter Followers to Click on Links

Twitter can consistently be one of the greatest methods of getting people to click on links. While there are tons of spammers who use twitter, and that causes a serious noise problem when getting followers, there are tons of great ways to still get people to “listen” to you on twitter. Simply put, Twitter, despite all its issues is still a great marketing tool. The simple way to use twitter to market is to make sure they actually click on your links, so here are a few tried and true methods.
1) Don’t link without a title. Simply put, make sure you have a description and not just a link. Seems simple enough, but not enough people remember this.
2) Start a discussion with others. If you can get other people to respond to your tweet, its more likely that other people will pay attention to it. Give an opinion in regards to the content you are trying to promote, create some excitement.
3) Look at trends. No matter what you are writing about or trying to link to, make sure that you follow current trends, so that more people might find your tweets.
4) Timing is Everything. Doesn’t do much good to tweet in the middle of the night, nor necessarily the busiest time. Find out when your tweets get the most clicks based on timing of your followers. Probably not a good idea to tweet to Orthodox Jews on Saturday.
5) Help Others. If people are asking questions, answer them, and at least seem to be smart. Not only does it make others like you, but makes other people remember you as the nice guy who went out of the way to answer a tweet.
6) Don’t Spam. Seriously, don’t spam, don’t just send links to products. Spend most of your time promoting content that then mentions or links to your content. Instead of linking to a dating site, link to your dating blog. A lot better for everyone.

Pace and Co… you should watch this new platform thats about to launch in Jan very closely http://www.chirpaloo.com > it is a very sophisticated database management platform thats starting in Twitter and will then connect all the major social channels. We have been testing it and its the most game changing thing i have seen for social media marketing. especially when used for Twitter. it essential greats more signal and less noise so you are not spraying content out there to get traffic and conversions. we used it to target new users and extract the ones relevant to our campaign from our Twitter following.
we had over 75% click thru rates and were ale to locate the most influential followers….
worth tracking and game changing…
It’s a great trick to link with the #trend but I’m in a fix that will it work for non-relevant topics? Won’t be it spamming? Also, can you please specify the best time spans when people usually use twitter more actively? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing these great tips. I couldn’t agree more on tip #6. Who doesn’t hate spammers? Sophisticated internet users would think spammed links are malwares or viruses so they tend to avoid clicking them.
