If you are a Bangladeshi, then chances are that you do not know how to use Twitter. Or you know just the basic stuff and find it boring, thinking why you even need twitter to stalk your favorite celebrities when you could just use Instagram. But did you know that you could use Twitter to network your way up to a millionaire status, if you know how to correctly use it?
Twitter is one of the best microblogging sites out on the internet, and it provides a great platform for people to increase their reach.
However, a twitter account gives you the potential to do something great, but many people miss on that because they do not what exactly the site has to offer.
First off, more than 300 million people are active on Twitter. Unless your product is specifically for a tiny group of people, it is highly likely that your customers, referral partners, the publishers you need are all there on Twitter1 There are 1.3 billion Twitter accounts. A lot of them are not active but they do pop in every now and then, especially if they have been mentioned in a tweet. Moreover, Twitter allows people to brows the website without even logging in, which means that almost anyone can see what you tweet, giving you even better reach!
Twitter notifies you when someone replies to your tweet, retweets you, or mentions you.
This part of twitter is important because that is how relationships and connections are built. Keep in mind, that if other users are following you or are retweeting you or mentioning you in their tweets, then it important for you to follow them back or mention them too. That is like Twitter etiquette.
Additionally, there are services like BuzzSumo which allows you to find the right people to connect with on twitter. The tool even enables you to see the type of content the influencers are sharing which in turn allows you to learn about their likes and dislikes.
I hope you have realized by now how important of a social media platform Twitter is. Potential customers, Referrals, Media contacts, rival businesses, major people in your industry: they are all there on Twitter, waiting for you to finally come and introduce yourself.
Happy Tweeting!
