Twitter is one of the most popular social networking website on the Internet and its popularity continues to grow stronger each day. To me, the rise of Twitter feels a lot like what happened with Facebook early last year. Twitter has just launched a new search widget which takes their search functionality to the next level by showing results in real time with an automatic refresh. The search widget is fairly flexible in that it allows a person to create a custom query for any search result, provides the ability to change the widget’s appearance and you can even change the size too! The Tips are following:

1. Know what you intend to promote when you start posting on Twitter. This is absolutely paramount when it comes to understanding how to get the most out of twitter marketing in order to drive business to your website or your door. If you know your product well, and you understand what it is going to take to market it, then you are already a step ahead of everyone else, and this is a really good place for you to be.
2. One of the greatest boosts to your Twitter marketing endeavor will be to learn how to communicate effectively on Twitter.
3. Make the most out of your account. Create a profile page with a picture and some information about your company. This allows the people who are reading your Twitter feed to get to know you better, which is what social networking sites like Twitter are really all about.
4. Follow relevant Twitter feeds. When you “follow” a new Twitter feed, the owner of that feed is notified. By notifying Twitter feed authors that you’re reading them, you are cluing them in to your existence, which will build traffic for your own marketing campaign as well.
5. Avoid over promoting your product or services.

Follow these five basic strategies for improving your marketing effort on Twitter and you will notice a big difference in how much traffic Twitter can bring to your business. Marketing on Twitter is not difficult, but there are some basic rules that you need to follow if you want to be successful in such an endeavor.
