Making the most of your twitter following

Twitter is excellent targeted marketing you can reach your customer base and inform them of offers and other tidbits about you and your company.

What happens if you look at who is following you and find it's not your target market?

The first thing to do is look at your twitter strategy, your overall plan on how you are going to make it work for you. If you don't have a plan then perhaps now is the time to make one.

Getting the followers you want....
I live in front of a golf course, my dog escapes onto the golf course and I have tweeted this, I now have a stream of golfers following me, nice but they are not potential customers to me, they are not likely to call me and ask me to deliver a new set of tees to the 9th hole now are they?!!!

They find me because they search for golf. When was the last time you did a tweet search? When did you last do a search on twitter home page for your keyphrases? Go and do one now, do you come up in the search on the first few pages?

If you do then there is a good chance potential customers will find you. Don't panic if you didn't, it's not the end of the world but remember there is a fine line between being found for your keywords / phrases and spamming twitter.

Make a point of tweeting once a day a link to your blog, so you are known for what you do. It can be articles or posts you wrote some time ago, fresh content is good but again it's not the end of the world if you don't have it - you can establish that you have been doing what you doing for a long time and are very experienced. If you have the time you can freshen up those articles and entice your current readers to revisit your older material.

If you don't have your own blog then post your articles here and then tweet them. Article websites gets a huge amount of search engine traffic and potential customers also get to click through and find your profile. More info than they can find in 140 characters - you do have more information on your profile don't you?

Right back to getting the followers you want...
There is a lot of emphasis on 'local' and 'local' is very important. You are more likely to meet a fellow twitterer if they are local. If you meet them and you 'click' you are more likely to get recommended. So that golfer who plays golf behind my house and follows me on twitter has a purpose after all!

Do a local search for twitter users in your local area, make contact with them, follow them and promote local tweetups (yep, they are really called that). Check out your local events pages if you want to see whats happening in your area in the next few weeks.

Build relationships, retweet something someone interesting has said. Tweet an interesting non work related link, start a conversation. More importantly every now and then ask your followers who they would recommend you connect with who are looking for your services. Connect with their suggestions and start building a relationship there too.

Sounds like hard work? well no one said it was easy but it can pay dividends. Try it for twenty minutes a day for 6 weeks and see what a difference it makes to your business.

How much should i sell home made arrow heads for?

I make arrow heads out of glass and these are going to be made of broken glass bottles i want to sell them at 5-10$?
Im 1/8 cherokee and blackfoot

It depends on the quality of your work. I have seen some really, really good quality glass knapping sell for more than $80 per, and very poor quality sell for less than $2 per.

Send me a picture of your knapping work, and I'll let you know what I think of the quality.

And laytonbensingerjr......"1/8 cherokee and blackfoot" is the same as "1/8 polish and irish". It means nothing, and has nothing to do with being able to do anything. I'm "1/8 ojibwe and other woodland indian" -- big freakin' whoopee, it don't mean I can automatically build a birch bark canoe without having to learn how to do it.

What’s your problem? Stop, slow down or slip through intersection on yellow left-turn arrow?
Sally Harper was turning left through the recently reconstructed intersection at River and Douglas avenues when she saw something strange: a flashing yellow light. She was confused. “As soon as I got through the intersection I thought, ‘Holy smokes, what did I just do?,’” Harper said.
