Advantages of using Twitter for a blogger.

          Twitter has gained immense popularity in recent times. As a blogger, you can use Twitter as a marketing tool to drive more web traffic to your blog. Apart from this you can use Twitter in many different ways to enhance the content of your blog. I have discussed some of the major advantages of using Twitter for a blogger.

1. Get Ideas: One of the great benefits of Twitter would be to use it as a research tool to derive ideas for your blog content. Reading the tweets of so many users would definitely give new ideas in your mind about an interesting subject about which you can write in your blog. Besides, if you are not sure if the blog subject you are thinking about will strike a chord with readers or not, you can simply pose a question regarding your selected subject as your tweet. Responses from your followers will help you sort any confusion you may have regarding your blog subject.
2. Marketing tool: Since, Tweets are limited to 140 characters; you can expect to receive quick responses, thus saving your valuable time. One of the most obvious uses of Twitter is to use it as marketing tool for your blog. Use your tweets to suggest your followers about blog updates and you will have more traffic being channelled to your blog.
3. Find people: Twitter is also a great platform to find people who have similar interests. Use it as a networking platform to connect with like-minded people, who will find your blog posts and blog subjects interesting and this way you can generate more web traffic to your blog. Use 'Find People' to locate other Twitter accounts you want to follow. Then enter your keywords, related industries, locations or other defining detail to locate followers, and begin following them.
4. Engage with people: Twitter is all about conversation so if you are only posting information about your business and that people should buy from you; they will quickly ignore you or turn you in for spam. Engage people in conversation, offer tips that are related to your business such as new trends, or even just post about the weather or your pets. Some people prefer not to post too much personal information, but you can still build good relationships without talking about your personal life.

Some Awesome principles of social media marketing

Here are some of the most important do’s and don’ts of social media marketing.

1. Do not try advertise but ENGAGE: People come to Facebook to socialize, to be amused, and to get some useful info, but almost nobody comes deliberately to buy something. To reach people on FB, you need to grab their attention by giving them something they need. Like something for free!!
2. Give a free Demo: Its always great to offer your product for them to use. FB’s sharing tools to give them a taste of how great that something is, rather than just telling them about it. Good thing about social media is that it creates a two-way connection — an opportunity to build a stronger bond with your potential customer/future customers.
3. Talk less—listen more: Since social media creates a two-way connection: an opportunity to build a stronger bond with your potential customer by listening to what they have to tell you and responding to them directly. In a world where customers who try to contact companies are routinely greeted same old IVR, good communication is a killer app. If fans know that you listen to them, then it can do wonderful things for your web-traffic.j
4. Respond in time:  You should never create a FB page and forget abt it. You should visti your site and do respond to comments and questions on time. You should not let the customer think that they are talking to a wall. Response to there comments will decide if they are going to visit your site again.
5. Let them vent: A good customer service manager told me that, every time a customer come to complaint they come to vent there frustration. And they want someone to listen to them. If you really listen to them carefully, you can win them back. If you give people a sympathetic ear, acknowledge their frustration, and demonstrate your desire to make things better, I am sure they will come back even if your product sucks!!
