Programs to automate Twitter marketing were being heavily promoted several ago. Twitter was considered as a great new way of getting a list of people whom you could target to promote your products. But the question is, were any of those programs that were promoted, actually doing you any good? In this article, we will talk about Twitter marketing and if it is even worth it for you to get into it.
I was one of those who wanted to see if getting a large following on Twitter was going to help my product promotion campaigns and so purchased the tools. I enlisted in programs that promised to get me followers on Twitter and bought software tools to help publicize my products. Overall, I ended up purchasing about eight different programs that would aid me with all of this.
I invested in a program that would automatically follow people for me in an attempt to get them to follow me back. If anyone was not following me, I had another tool that would automatically remove them from my to-follow list. This way I could be following Twitter users who might follow me reciprocally. Several of the programs I paid for are not interesting enough to talk about but I will just mention a good program that auto-Tweeted any blog posts I made whenever they were published. I must say that the combined effect of employing all these tools together gave superb results as each program did as advertised. But as soon as it looked like I wasn't making any money, my initial enthusiasm was soon dampened. Daily I would post more or less ten blog entries knowing that they would then automatically be shown on Twitter also. Wanting to increase the number of daily posts, I found a way to automatically post any number of entries to my blog and hopefully get more Twitter followers.
So allow me to reveal to you my results. After three years utilizing these Twitter marketing tools, I had built nearly 10,000 Twitter followers. And though you may think that is great, just wait. In the same 3 year period, my Twitter account collected over 15,000 blog posts that had links to my affiliate offers. And that was the only campaigning that I did for that blog, I decided not to even ping the posts to see precisely what Twitter could do for me. Well I discovered, in the last 3 years I pulled in 2 affiliate sales for a total of $48, and I pulled in $8.52 with Adsense. And that specific blog only receives about 2 to 4 visitors each day from Twitter.
Despite me utilizing tools to make the job easier and getting roughly 10,000 followers on Twitter, I still could not turn a decent profit using Twitter marketing for my blog. In fact, in the last 3 years I have not even made enough money from that blog to pay for the Twitter programs that I had bought. So in my view, while there may be good ways to advertise on Twitter, using the automatic softwares are not the way to go.
