Is Twitter A Viral Marketing Tool?
If you’re familiar with the popular microblogging service Twitter then you understand how you can pick up followers and direct them to your website. But can it go viral?
Listen to the gurus and you’ll think that Twitter is the breadbasket of the Internet. Build a Twitter stream, get 100,000 followers – or, if your Ashton Kutcher, 1 million will do – and drive that traffic like cattle, Baby! Is it really that easy?
As an old sage once said, nothing worthwhile is easy. And so it is with Twitter. It is worth the effort and it can go viral, but it is work.
The key to succeeding with Twitter is to find people to follow you who are interested in what you have to offer. But how do you do that? There are tools available, such as Twellow and Tweetlater, to help you do that. And you can find people to follow by keywords, by location, or by interest. Or you can just scour the follow lists of your friends.
Twitter is not in and of itself a viral marketing tool, but it can go viral if you are persistent and consistent in your marketing efforts.
