Twitter Marketing Or Spamming?

Just like anything in marketing, there are multiple ways to look at Twitter and how one can take advantage of it to make more money online. Twitter marketing is nothing new. People have been taking advantage of Twitter to generate leads and make money from affiliate products for months now. Of course, just like anything else, you don’t hear about top Twitter marketing tactics until they are old. That’s really how marketing training courses have worked in the past, and this continues to be the case.

I would also blame fake Internet marketers that make a living on teaching people who to spam Twitter and make money that way. Don’t get me wrong. It IS possible to spam Twitter and make money for a short period of time. But sooner rather than later, you are going to get caught and all your efforts go to waste.

The tactics that fake Internet marketers are teaching these days involve opening up multiple Twitter accounts, setting up robots, and spamming the heck out of Twitter. That’s not marketing. That’s spamming and harassing others on Twitter. Of course, black hat marketers don’t mind teaching others how to spam on these sites. The funny thing is, they don’t teach you how they make money online. But these people take your money and throw you to wolves. So newbies end up spamming and getting caught for their trouble.

Real Twitter marketing is all about connecting with your leads, providing them with value, and building trust with them. It will take time to achieve all that, but if you are looking to build a long term business, there are no short-cuts. And anybody that tell you it is has some other agenda.
