I finally did it. I took the plunge and joined Twitter tonight.
I've been intending to sign up for some time now, because I know its a great source for building a list and making sales...I just haven't found the time and really wasn't too sure about how to use it. What inspired me to finally do it?
I recently acquired the "Underground Twitter Secret Manifesto" and read through it. Light bulbs kept popping off in my head the whole time I was reading it and I kept having thoughts like: "Damn! This is so easy!". I couldn't believe I hadn't looked further into it before!
Here's what I did...
I signed up and uploaded my photo and started following 20 people. A few were friends. A few were top marketers (Joel Comm, Willie Crawford...) and around 10 were traffic exchange owners. After that I logged out.
About an hour later I checked my gmail and had 10 people following me already! The majority were people I had started following, but there were a couple from out of the blue. Maybe (hopefully) they recognized me from my marketing efforts, but whatever...THEY'RE ON MY TWITTER LIST!
So now I'm thinking..."If I add 50 or 100 each day and 40% return the favor and follow me"...I could build a pretty big Twitter list in a very short time! If I get 10% of them on my opt-in list...I make a sale to 2% of them every month...Its a pretty awesome place!
Do the math. 100 people you follow each day times 30 days = 3000. Multiply that by 40% and you have 1200 following you after one month. If 10% opt-in to your mailing list, you add 120 people to your list each month. If you make sales to 2% of your followers, that's 24 sales per month just off of your first 30 days efforts!
If you are hawking a 50 dollar product, thats an extra $1200 from a free source...OHHH!!! Your tweets also get seen by vistors to your followers pages, so there you get extra chances at sales and sign-ups! Don't forget to include a link!
My mind keeps going on and on with the possibilities for this site...I'm blown away! I'm going to have to go back and re-read the "Underground Twitter Secret Manifesto" and see what I've missed!
Want a quick start, too? Here's the link where you can buy the "Underground Twitter Secret Manifesto" for only $7.00. I'd just give it to you, but the terms of my license agreement with the author won't allow me to give it away. Whether you're a member of Twitter or not this book will open your mind to the wealth of opportunities to increase your business exponentially by using it.
