Hi. Around this time last year I told you that I was going to focus entirely on ONE new strategy to bring in visitors. I said I was going to remain focused on that strategy for a considerable length of time in order to determine whether it's any good or not.
So, what strategy did I focus on?
Twitter.
Yep, I decided I was going to dedicate considerable efforts to determining whether Twitter can REALLY be used to send targeted visitors to a website.
And now the confession bit…
Despite my initial enthusiasm (because I got a few hundred followers pretty fast), I quickly lost interest in the whole project.
Basically, every time I tweeted something, I would get zero, or one, or two, or (miracle of miracles!) maybe three clicks, and then… nothing.
Sure, if I had ten times more followers, then 1 or 2 would become 10 or 20.
But, to be quite frank about it, I couldn't be bothered.
The truth is…
I'm not a big Twitter fan. Not at all. I just don't get it. I see no value in it at all. I thinks it's something the world could REALLY live without.
BUT…
It's there whether we like it or not. And, it would seem, a LOT of people do like it.
SO…
I've decided to give it another go.
I've created a new Twitter account that's focused on promoting TotalResale.com and other resale rights products. (The account is at twitter.com/total_resale).
But this time, I'm approaching the task equipped with the proper tools.
And, so far, the results are much more promising.
I've built up quite a lot of followers in a short space of time. I'm at almost 1,700 and growing pretty fast. And, depending on what I tweet, I'm getting decent click-thrus (up to 20 or so at a time).
Now, considering how quick/easy/cheap it is to tweet, getting a decent — and ever-increasing — number of visitors, is suddenly looking feasible.
I'm still only getting 'warmed up' and I've quite a bit of learning to do in terms of what to tweet and when to tweet it.
I'm working on learning those things this week.
Unlike last year, (when I just let my efforts fizzle out before they really got started), this year I AM going to keep you informed on progress so that you can see for yourself whether it's worth focusing on Twitter yourself.
In the meantime, if you just want to get started right now, there's a terrific new ebook from Kevin Riley that outlines a very good strategy for a successful assault on Twitter.
You can check it out (and see the video), here:http://www.ebooktimes.com/tvm_2601
Okay, that's it for now. Happy Tweeting! (Or grumpy and reluctant Tweeting even.)
