Here are ten reasons why I think that not only Etsy sellers, but people in general should use twitter.
- Because, Everyone is doing it! Fall to peer pressure my Etsy friends. I mean… come on Oprah did it.
- It helps you get information out quickly to people who are interested in what you have to say. They did follow you right?
- It allows you to network with people in your industry, or with those who have similar interests.
- It can help you build your brand and build relationships with your customers.
- It can bring traffic to your Etsy store or blog, and who does not want that?
- Have a question? Tweet about it. You may find some great ideas through a twitter convo, or a way to overcome some obstacle you may be having. Also try the search feature, you will be surprised by what you find!
- You have access to real time info, like when Jeff Goldbloom died, you would be the first to know… okay well bad example. Just make sure to check your sources 🙂
- It not only has the potential remind current customers to visit your site, Twitter can help you bring new business to your shop.
- Twitter can help you generate new ideas. New ideas for your blog, for more tweets, and possibly for new products.
- All this can be free! It just takes a little time, and who does not want all of the above for free?
Twitter can be a great tool for Etsy sellers and bloggers, you just have to have a little patience and do a little research. The great thing about twitter is that it is what you make of it. The people you follow, and have follow you can either make your twitter experience great, or make your twitter experience horrible. Not everyone tweets about what they had for breakfast today you know. I am going to be posting more Etsy sellers and bloggers twitter tips next week so "y'all come back now ya hear!"
