4 Internet Marketing Twitter Don'ts


As a user of Twitter, have you ever wonder what you should avoid while twitting?
I assume you should be wondering what will the answers be.
Think deeply what are the DO and DON'T for a Twitter user just for the purpose of INTERNET MARKETING.
Although you can earn money through all social networking sites, but Twitter is still a famous way of doing it. Look at the picture below.



Here comes the explanation what you shouldn't twit for Internet Marketing:

1. Don't twit every little thing about yourself. You should be wondering why. People wouldn't know or remember what are you doing or going through for what you have twit. Except, or maybe your closest friends who really care about you reads and remember every bit of it. Think it in another way, one of your friend twits every single details what had happened. Will you really care about it? It will be a boring notice for them or a conversation for them talking about you and your little happenings.

Think about your future too. What if you twits something wrong? The server just saved every single detail you wrote and there is no way you can delete it from the server right? There is always a copy which you can buy from the server but never get deleted. What if you future boss wants to know more about you and they search for what you've did through the internet. Things will never be the same. As you see below, Twitter is the top 50 entrepreneurs, which means Twitter is a way to connect to anyone and it is very well known among business people.




2. Don't just twit affiliate links. If you're trying to start a business through social networking sites, don't use affiliate links. As in don't post the link where users can buy the product from. People will think you as a spammer who is trying to introduce some product.

Try another way which is post some information regarding the product that you're selling, then introduce your product and the price etc. This is a way users wouldn't get confuse or interrupt by other affiliate links.

3. Don't use product image as your avatar or profile picture. This is a bad step if you do so, people will be wondering. What if you are selling more than one product? People will think what are you trying to sell and who are you. Usually users wants to confirm who the seller is and put some interest and trust on them before doing a trading.

4. Don't curse. This is part of a language which users love to use to express themselves. Think of the consequences if you do so. People will lost interest towards you. Although there are people who wants to buy your product, but they will think twice before doing so because they have uncertainty in their mind.

Dear readers, what do you think after reading these FOUR DON'T? Wondering what is your next step? Better buck up while twitting and know well the DON'T.
Any DON'T which you would like to tell us? Please do comment.
You have to stay in mind that Twitter is a place where anyone can follow your account. By just clicking the following words:

Number one, the advantages of using internet marketing is that it allows you to cancel off tax from the list of costs when you operate a home based business. Besides that you can also save the cost of distance to travel, cost of office usage such as the computers where you may use own property.

The second benefit is that you get to start of a business from a very low cost. What is the meaning that I am trying to tell you guys?
Ok, look at the point where a business can be started just by joining an affiliate program free of charge. Or else starting a business from a personal website with just using a few hundred ringgit which is considered very low already. If to compare to those people who wants to start of a business which at least five thousand ringgit is needed to start off. Isn’t it having a business with internet marketing easier?

The fourth benefit of is that the profit margin will be higher because the cost of product or services are low. That is why; you will most likely get to keep more profit that is made from the sales. And if happen that you are selling products which is presented through online like the e-book, shipping fees will be saved up as well.
And the very last benefit of using internet marketing to start of a business is that, you do not even have to own any product at all.
This simply means that you can actually just promote for others when you are free. And with joining the affiliate program, not only that you can manage a business with any cost but also get yourself to not involve in buying any product to keep as read y stock and eventually it might be excessive. So in this case, the risk is lower down.

Pod cast:


Translation:
Good evening dear listeners, I am Rachel. The topic that I would like to discuss today is about “Strategies of Internet Marketing”.

Do you know that starting a business through Internet Marketing is not easy?
- There are some procedures that you have to follow and one of them is read through articles which are related to what you going to do. Reading articles is not the only way, there are questions which you have to ask yourself and make a clear mind and very sure of your answer.

The first question will be – Who are your customers?
- This means who are your preferably customers for the product that you are offering or selling and who are your special customers.

The second question is – What are you offering?
- This refers to what you want to sell to your customers. You have to explain your product well so that your customers know what you are selling so that they get the point and will not confuse.

After asking yourself these 2 questions, you have to know what kind of strategies you are aiming. There will be 4 strategies that I am going to discuss.

The first will be online research.
What comes to your mind after you see the word online?
- It will be internet. You have to do some research through internet where it is a place which you can get a lot of information.
What kind of information are you going for?
- Of course regarding the product which you are going to promote. Besides, do some research about your competitors?
Do you know what you need to research about them?
- You have to know who are they, what they are doing about their products and how are they doing it. This is a way to search for their weaknesses and from there you can grab what they are capable of and from their weaknesses, repair it.

The second step that you need to do is data analysis.
Do you do this very often or do you know what you should do here?
- You have to gather all the information and summarize it with all the important information. This is to prevent you to get confuse and get everything straight to the point.

The third step is strategy development.
This is a planning role. How often do you plan before doing something?
- Before starting a business through internet, always plan what you will be starting with. Plan well so that everything goes well.

Plan well then start your business.
The fourth step is to monitor your business or your performance through the process of selling. This is a way to search for how and what you need to improve in.

Glossary:
战略 = Strategies
网络营销 = Internet Marketing
战略发展 = Strategy Development
规划中的作用 = Planning Role

Good customer service in Network Marketing


Have you ever think of how you going to serve well and regain your business and get back all your customers without any doubt?

The most important is customer service. It is very important although you are serving network marketing and you does not need to face the customers. Customers always need feedback and good serving which will lead them to a better product. Besides, you as the seller has to know what you clients need.

Since you does not communicate them face-to-face, but you still can email them and ask them a few questions as this goes better for you products and your marketing perspective.
From my own opinion, I do get calls from some of the customer service in reality as I does not know how they get my number. They tried their best to persuade us to believe in their products and also get their perspective towards their marketing facts. They did not think of how will the client feel. I myself feels very annoying compare to network marketing customer service as we does not have to talk to them, we just need to answer a few questions and that all.

What do you think about this issue after reading this blog post? Is it a good idea to provide a good customer service in Network Marketing? And do you agree that it is the best way to get more feedback compare to reality calls from the customer service?
