Twitter Videos: Tips On Promoting Your Content

By Becky Hillocks


Twitter is one of the strongest social networking platforms, along side Facebook, and it has become increasingly popular to use within businesses for communication, not only between one another but also clients. Twitter is a great way to showcase what a company is currently working on by tweeting images and video content, as well as general updates, therefore making the site a great marketing tool. It is important that this is thought through and strategized, because if this is not done effectively then it will not reach the intended target audience.

So how do you promote your content in an effective way? I researched this and came across a video production company who had created a video blog giving advice on the subject matter. There are a variety of things that can be done to advertise yourself and the company. It is important to have a large group of followers, people who have a genuine interest in what you do, care about what you do, and are happy to advocate what you do and your skills. In the case of Twitter this would be through retweets, quoting tweets, favouriting tweets and also simply responding to your tweets. However, before any of this has the potential to happen it is important to get your initial followers, this can be done by allowing the site to access your contact list, letting friends, family and business contacts that you are now on Twitter. Having these people who know you and what the company are about will allow you to dive straight into conversations to begin getting the company's personality across. So new clients and followers are able to get a feel of what you are about.

A way of beginning your online presence is to identify influencers. An influencer is a person or business on twitter with a loyal and readily established following. Making an influential connection might possibly result in a retweet of something relevant or mention a mention in a post, and this will be shown to many viable followers. Definitely don't constantly bombard your influencer with a stream of posts, this will not help you achieve followers. Anything relevant that you can contribute to in their feed, it may result in a valuable conversation.

It's easy to forget that you have followers once they are there, and you need to keep them there. In order to maintain your following, it's a good idea to have produce regular and relevant posts. Look at the trending topics, so that you're up to date with what's going on on Twitter. Obviously, not every trend is going to be appropriate to your company, that is unless your business involves the marketing of One Direction, but it can't hurt to look at them. Adding hashtags for accessibility is very beneficial, relevant hash tags pull in a lot more attention. Hashtags are tools, use them.

Use Twitter and other social networking as a marketing tool, your business will be seriously impacted. They are an easy communicative sphere between you, your customers, clients and even other businesses. It is key for businesses to jump on the online platform. So jump on, grab a microphone and sell your business ideas.
