Build Customer Traffic and Sell Affiliate Products in Huge Numbers Using a Great Twitter Promotion

A great Twitter promotion is a fantastic way to build customer traffic and sell affiliate products in huge numbers. Anyone can do this, the experienced as well as affiliate marketing beginners.

What you will need:

a great affiliate product you are promoting 

a piece of content which talks about the product, such as an article or a good blog post 

4 Steps to a Wave of Customer Traffic

Step 1: Pre-announce your new content piece. Tweet your followers that you are working up a good quality piece of content that will make a real difference to them, such as a timely solution to a common problem, or a new perspective on something controversial. By pre-announcing it, you prime your audience.

(Whatever affiliate products you are promoting had better be relevant to your content and your audience's concerns, or this will fall flat!)

Step 2: Just before publication, announce it again, offer the title and when you expect to publish. You are building anticipation, and putting people on the lookout for your content.

Step 3: Announce publication as soon as you have published. You are simply tweeting the event and giving the link to get to your content. You are not mentioning any affiliate products; your article or blog post should do this for you.

A Twitter promotion is an incredibly powerful and easy tool to use to announce affiliate products and build a massive wave of customer traffic.

Step 4: Encourage your followers to re-tweet your message. If your content is good enough, folks will retweet anyway, but it does not hurt to ask them! Be sure to thank anyone who retweets for you- the old courtesies still go a long way. Be prepared to return the favor sometime.

Bonus tip: Use others' tweets as the seeds of a new product, and then cash in with a Twitter promotion. Listen to what folks are tweeting about, and use what you pick up as the idea for a great product, such as a short report selling for a modest price. 

The promotion has already been half done for you, because you are working off what people are already tweeting about- you are just taking advantage of the existing conversation. Boost your sales by offering an affiliate program for your product, do a new Twitter promotion, and create a fresh wave of customer traffic!
