Although Twitter Marketing is a great way to get word out about your business, it can also prove to be destructive for the business image, particularly through self sabotage. There are a number of common Twitter marketing mistakes that need to be avoided at all costs if you are going to be successful at promoting your business. Here are some of those mistakes that you simply need to steer clear from to ensure that you do not harm your marketing campaign in any way.
Mistake #1
This concerns the inappropriate use of twitter direct messages. Although it might seem as a good idea to take your Twitter marketing campaign to ‘the people’ you need to steer clear of their direct message box. There is nothing more annoying than to be bombarded with promotional messages where you consider it to be private. If you want people to unfollow you, then this is the fastest way to achieve this.
Mistake #2
This involves using trickery to click on a link. You need to avoid tricking people by offering the wrong information on a link, only to find that it leads to your promotional website. You need to be honest about the links you post if you are going to gain peoples trust for your Twitter marketing campaign.
Mistake #3
This concerns Tweeting. Although it might be tempting to Tweet links throughout, this might not be the best way to go. Twitter is an interactive platform, and should be therefore treated as such. It is also a good idea to recommend others’ products, and also share the spot light with them. This will make you appear as a sincere person out to offer information that really concerns others.
