You can call Twitter a micro-blogging platform or you can call it an instant messenger site. You may like Twitter or you can think of it as a time loss. Whatever how you call it and how you view it, Twitter is a tree-like community. A community has several characteristics and the ones which make it important for us is that people are connected.

Why is this important for you as a marketer? When you approach marketing in the classical manner what you get is you screaming loud and round around about your product. Individuals hear you and some purchase and most of them don’t. What do you get if you use Twitter as a marketing tool? What you get is amazing. You tweet once, everyone hears you. Not only that, but people re-tweet and people to which you never talked hear about your product as well and follower of the followers of your followers it too and so on and so on. What more can you ask than to invest such little effort and obtain such an echo?

The only problem you might have is to get people to actually follow you. And you want them to follow you and re-tweet all your announces. So what do you need to do to obtain such fans? The truth is that people follow other people who they look up to. You need to find a way to impose yourself, to demand respect, to get in touch with everyone but still keep the distance which says “You should look up to me”. Being a company is not that hard. People won’t be able to find things in common with you if you tweet as a company and not as an individual. They all perceive the company as something big and respectable so they will by default look up to you.

Using Twitter as a marketing tool is awesome and you will discover more gold than you’ve ever imagine. It’s completely free and the results you obtain are incomparable with the ones which you would obtain if you invested the same time and resources in a normal, old school campaign.

The most difficult thing is to maintain your influence. You need to appear strong, leader-like and respectable and yet don’t push people away from you and your products. This is the most hard to handle part of Twitter marketing and the ones which control it are the ones who succeed. Get in touch with your followers and treat them with the same respect they treat you. Offer them breaking promotions and discounts and make them feel as a community. When your fans connect with one another it is much more difficult to lose them.
