Twitter is an outstanding way to drive targeted traffic to your website. You shouldn’t forget about other traffic sources, however, using Twitter is completely free and will definitely get a few more targeted visitors to your website. That’s right; Twitter provides a free source of targeted traffic.
Nothing is better than an endless stream of visitors. There are lots of ways for you to get free traffic to your website, but there is a big difference between free traffic and targeted traffic. You might have heard about offers saying that they will send thousands of visitors to your website from some traffic generating websites. These offers are good to give your traffic statistics a push, but you likely won’t actually generate a returning visitor or a sale for your product. Visitors sent to you by free traffic websites will usually leave your website within seconds.
On the other hand, targeted visitors are interested in the product or information you are offering on your website, ready to break out their credit card. With my article I will show you the Twitter strategy used for getting targeted visitors ready to take action. It takes very little time and is easy to do.
Of course, you will need a Twitter account to get started with. I recommend not using your personal twitter account. If you have different niche websites, create a single Twitter account for every niche website you have. Don’t leave the default twitter avatar and background, but instead choose an avatar and background image that fits your product or information best, because it will show your followers that you care about your account.
The next thing you will have to do is to deliver content – niche relevant, quality content. Most of the content you provide should be created by others and should never include references to your own things. This may sound counterproductive, but here’s why we will do it.
We want to supply as much quality content as we can to our followers, and unless you create lots of trashy content or outsource your content creation you just don’t have the time and money to create all that quality content on your own in a short period of time. You will also look like a spammer when you only ‘tweet’ – meaning the short messages you post on your Twitter – about your own things, and this will cause people to stop following you.
The second part of the process is to build a landing page or helpful blog post about your niche. This part will be the most important and you really do need to make sure to provide high quality content. But, where do you find your niche relevant content? Simply Google search for RSS feeds for your niche content, copy and paste the link of the RSS feed to your landing page or blog post. Make sure to select high quality RSS feed content. That will make your followers trust you. When they trust you it will encourage them to click your links in the future. The links you place on your landing page or blog post is the way to monetize the traffic you are getting from Twitter. The MOST IMPORTANT idea behind this is that you place links to your products or information you want to share or sell. The text in the displayed link should contain a strong anchor text that will call to action and make them click the link that will lead them to your ‘money site’. Here you offer your product or information you want to sell or share.
The last part of this process will be to collect an email address from your visitors or to get in touch through a contact form or to even make the sale. Now you have targeted visitors on your website seeking information. To catch their email address, a good idea is to offer a free niche relevant ebook or report through an ‘opt-in’ form. Once you have your visitors email address you can add it to your email list and feed them with any information or products of your choice any time you like. The only limit to this is your imagination. To automate your info or product, try simply using an auto-responder of your choice. Your email list will be growing and growing.
Every tweet you are posting must be of very high quality to make your followers trust you. When people trust you enough, they could make your tweets go viral and at this point, magic happens.
So, the most important thing is to put a link to your money site at the end of your landing page or blog post, and making sure the link contains a strong call to action.
That is basically the trick. The great thing about this is you won’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to get started. Once you get used to the process, this shouldn’t take more than about 20 minutes a day. It’s an excellent way to drive targeted traffic to your website, and definitely worth a try.
