5 Easy Ways You Can Connect with Potential Clients via Twitter

While Twitter can be used as a great social environment for making and staying in touch with friends, it is also used as an explosive source of self-promotion and gaining new clientele by those who own an online business. The popularity of Twitter makes it a valuable resource that every service provider should add to their marketing arsenal. The amount of people who access the Twitter service on a daily basis is immense and the chances that some of those people will need your services at some point or another are high. Here are five simple ways that service providers can connect with potential clients via Twitter.

  1. Users Searching for a Specific Service
    One way to gain new clients through the use of Twitter is when someone searches for a specific service they need. If someone comes to Twitter and does a search for a ghostwriter the chances of their search term containing those words is very high, right? So, why not create a page just for your writing services? You can make the username something with the term “ghostwriter” or “writing” in it.
  2. Overflow from other Service Providers
    The second way you can gain clients via Twitter is to network with other service providers in your niche. By following and interacting with these individuals you are allowing them to contact you should they need assistance with a big project or any overflow work that they don’t have the time to handle themselves.
  3. Good advice turns into client
    There are tons of business owners out there who are looking for your expertise to help them get their own business running smoothly. It’s not uncommon to see an Internet marketer on Twitter who has spent all afternoon working on their website and asking for advice or direction on what they need to do to fix this or that. They would probably have been more than willing to hire you to do it for them instead of spending all day doing it themselves.
  4. Other Twitter Users Stumbling Upon Your Profile
    When people start using Twitter they are looking for like-minded individuals to follow and connect with. When they come across your profile for whatever reason and see that you provide a certain service, it might just remind them that they need help with something. Make sure you have your link readily available to them when they see your page.
  5. Word of Mouth
    By far the most common way to gain new clients via Twitter is through word of mouth. If your past or current clients are members of the Twitter community, chances are at some point or another they will talk about you and/or your business. Now there is a kick here. As with any other type of service, if yours is bad it’s probably got a good chance of being brought up on Twitter. However, the same rings true for exceptionally great service. Provide your current clients with wonderful service and they will pass the word on about your business every chance they get.

When you are looking for a way to build your list and make your audience really sit up and notice you, you will find that Twitter can go a long way towards getting the attention your business needs and deserves.
