We all know twitter is quickly becoming a very popular tool for people to stay connected with each other. Twitter is also highly effective in driving traffic to your website if you go about it in the right way. The challenge is that posts on Twitter called “tweets” are short limited to 140 charactares and must be to the point.

Here are five strategies that can turn you into a twitter marketing traffic machine.

* Keep it Real. Be a real person and share your thoughts, dreams, frustrations and others things on twitter. It just doesn’t always have to be about your next business proposal. Learn to connect with people beyond the business realm and be social. After all isn’t that what social marketing is about?

* Be Controversial. There’s a reason why so many celebreties and music stars get attention, it’s because they understand the value of getting attention. Being controversial attracks attention, so be opinionated in your “tweets” and people will both love you and hate you for it, but in the end you’ll gain more followers.

* Tweet about Nothing. Here’s something to think about, not everyone visits twitter to do business, in fact most just head there to have fun. So why not do the same thing? Make your tweets interesting and people will take notice.

* Yoda for your thoughts. Everyone loves positive thinking quotes and people go nuts over these kinds of “tweets”. In the end you just might spark some attention or make someone’s day because of a quote or two you posted.

* Be Cool Man. Again, you have to realize that no one come to twitter to be sold something so remember this when it comes to your twitter marketing approach. Most people come to twitter to post about a funny video they saw on Youtube, or to comment about the news and just plain hang out. So why not give them what they want. Surf around find something worth posting about and then “tweet” about it.

The whole idea behind this article on twitter marketing is to teach you that to be a successful marketer using twitter or any other social marketing site, you need to forget about what it is your selling, and be a real a person. Socialize, have fun and interact with others. In the end you gain all the traffic you want to your website not because of what you tried to “pitch” but because of who you are.
