So you’ve been pretty active in your Internet Marketing campaigns on Twitter lately, tweeted anywhere between 5 and 100 times a day, have over 1,000 followers, get between 20-30% of your tweets to be clicked on, but have yet to see any “conversions” at all (e.g. Optins, sales, LIKEs, etc.)?

If this sounds like what you’re experiencing at the moment, then you may be missing a few, extremely crucial tactics in your Twitter marketing arsenal.

Times have changed, simply getting your message out there and nothing more is not at all effective in the Internet Marketing world anymore. Social networks like Twitter are overly saturated with too many people tweeting about too many things, with too many different subjects, all day long.

The sheer volume of Twitter users seems like a massive world of opportunity but if you haven’t actually made the effort to establish a relationship with even a small fraction of these millions of people, then you are going to get nowhere no matter how many times you tweet your message across to them. They simply won’t give a damn, straight up.

The Internet Marketing industry has evolved into a community over the years.

Any community is formed on the basis of relationships. If you’re in the Internet Marketing scene, you’ll know that no one pays you any attention if they don’t “trust” you, don’t know “who you are”, don’t know if you actually “help people” or are simply one of those ClickBank types simply out to sell crap products right left and center.

So if you’ve seen bad or non-existent conversions from your Twitter traffic, here’s a small list of things you can do immediately to start seeing better results in future:

1. Visit http://search.twitter.com/ and run a keyword search for tweets in your “niche” or area of interest. For example, I regularly search for keyword like “facebook ad optimization” or “niche marketing”.

Doing this will show you tweets that are relevant to your search term, and with them you will see the screen names of the people who’ve posted them (clearly in your niche if they’re tweeting about it).

2. Select 10-20 tweets you think are great, and retweet them. Make sure you’ve made a note of the screen names they came from.

3. Next, “mention” them on Twitter by tweeting something like “@asksatch: dude, your tweets are awesome! So what in niche marketing are you working on these days?”

Doing this will ensure that the person who’s screen name you mentioned in your tweet, sees your tweet (people love mentions, and are willing to reciprocate the gesture more than 50% of the time – based on extensive testing)

Having more than 50% of the people you mention in this manner not only means that they may retweet your tweets in future, but also that they may mention you in future tweets and follow you as well.

3. Track the users you mention to see if they’re even acknowledging your mentions. Weed out non-responsive people and keep those who mentioned, retweeted or followed you atleast once.

4. Rinse & Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3, anywhere between two to five times a day.

Seems like a tedious process right?

Well, welcome to the real world of Internet Marketing where you do unfortunately “need to work!”.

Building relationships is critical to your Internet Marketing efforts being successful. If it means you have to do it slowly but effectively, so be it, all

1,000 super-targeted, super-responsive twitter users who you’ve been in contact with and vice versa, who have acknowledged you and your work, per month!

You can use an excellent free service like ManageFlitter.com to keep track of people you connect with using this strategy and tailor your approach over time as you learn more about your following.

In a year you could be looking at a powerful 20-30,000 people who regularly acknowledge you and your work, and let me tell you that these people will practically be the source of your success in any Internet Marketing venture you ever embark on in future~

That is the power of Relationship Building on Twitter.

Do it “right” in the short term, and enjoy amazing continuity and successful Internet Marketing campaigns in the long term.
