Three Steps to Improve Twitter Conversions – Part 2: Hide the Good Stuff

Today’s post is the second in a three post series aimed at showing you how to get more out of Twitter with far less effort. Click the following link to read the first post, which was about Tweeting in blocks.

Now that you know about Tweeting in blocks and why it’s guaranteed to increase your visibility, you need to know how to structure these blocks so that your followers are more likely to click on your links and come to your blog or affiliate site.

TIP #2 – SEND 2 “NON-LINK” TWEETS FOR EVERY “LINKED” TWEET

When sending out your Tweets, you can’t include a link to your site or affiliate offer every single time. If you do this, you’ll either be flagged as a spammer or your followers will simply learn to tune you out.

What I’ve found to be effective is to send out one Tweet that includes a link to one of my sites or affiliate offers for every two Tweets I send out that are nothing but words. You can increase your conversions further by taking this a step further and set up your followers with your “worded” Tweets. Here’s an example:

• Tweet 1: I feel like I’ve been on Twitter all day!
• Tweet 2: What’s your best Twitter tip in 140 characters or less?
• Tweet 3: How to quickly and easily add 100s of followers on Twitter http://tinyurl.com/nuwwuc

By following this pattern, not only will you get lots of screen time in front of your followers, but, more importantly, you’ll gain credibility. At the very least you won’t come across as a spammer, but if you play your cards right, you’ll come across as a trusted source who posts relevant content and links, which is critical in improve your conversions.
