Twitter for Business. I understand it – some people really do hate Twitter.
But Marketing is rarely about whether you personally like something – it’s whether your customers are there and it can drive results.
Did you know the average number of social media platforms people use each month is 7.5
With the likes of Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest it’s hard not to see Twitter being next on the list alongside new apps like BeReal that spring up every so often.
So in 2022 how big is Twitter’s influence
- Advertisers could reach 465.1 million users on Twitter in April 2022
- UK Twitter users are 18.4 million (about 27% of the UK population)
- The total number of users that marketers can reach with ads on Twitter increased by roughly 29 million
- But that’s only 5.9% of all the world population use Twitter
To put in context Twitter has less users than Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn, but those that use it find it extremely powerful.
It’s the journalists, media and politician’s social media platform of choice.
And Elon Musk has said publicly that he wanted to grow Twitter users to over 900 million (more than LinkedIn currently has).
Here are 3 Ways To Market Your Business On Twitter (even if you hate Twitter)
How You Can Repurpose Your Content From Other Platforms To Twitter For Business
If you’re active on other social media platforms, you’ll be producing huge amounts of content
- Instagram Posts
- Instagram Reels
- Instagram Stories
- TikTok Videos
- LinkedIn Posts
- Blogs
- Youtube Videos
- Facebook Posts
You literally have the content ready to go, so whilst it does need changing and adapting for Twitter you’re already 70% there.
It might mean shortening, a different caption, reframing etc – but that’s just small changes.
Many of the people who’ve left Twitter have 1000’s of active followers on Twitter still.
For the sake of 2 minutes editing on each post, isn’t it worth posting some of your other social media platforms posts on Twitter?
And if this doesn’t convince you
The Twitter Power users are doing the same thing in reverse – they’re turning text based tweets into TikTok Videos and lengthier LinkedIn posts.
How you can spend just 15 Minutes a day on Twitter for Business (and avoid the politics)
The common objections to people using Twitter are often
- Too Much Hate and Political Rants
- It’s Too Noisy
Now imagine if I told you, you could use Twitter without looking at the main Twitter Feed
You can do this by using 2 methods
- Use Twitter Lists to put in your clients, ideal clients, networking group, industry news
- USe Tweetdeck to set up smart searches, so that you can find people talking about your niche
By using both Twitter Lists and Tweetdeck, it means you don’t have to soak up the Twitter Rants, Politics or Noise
Your 15 minutes a day usage of Twitter is simply for posting, engaging with ideal clients and handling mentions of your own account
