Twitter
is a platform for sending short messages (140 characters) out to people
who 'follow' you. You can use Twitter to build relationships with other
people who share your interests and promote your handmade business.
This lens is all about how to use Twitter to promote yourself and your
work, have fun doing it, and not being spammy.
Twitter
lets you build relationships between you and the people who follow you.
You can let them know more about yourself and your business and get
feedback from other people who also sell their handmade goods.
How to make your profile more distinctive.1: Pick a name related to your business, if at all possible use your business name.
2:
Make your full name visible. Face it, if you're running a business
people need to know your name and trying to be totally anonymous online
will probably hurt your business.
3:
You only have 160 characters for your bio, make it good. Don't just say
you're name, tell at least a little about what your create too.4:
Don't forget to add your website. This could be your Misi shop but if
you have a blog or other website you should use that also. Twitter is
about building relationships so it's better to send people visiting your
profile to a site that says more about you than directly to your store.
Announce when new products are listed. If you've just listed one item post a direct link to it but if you are listing more than 2 or 3 items in a day wait until you're finished for the day then announce with a link to your shop.
2:
Announce sales and promotions. If you're having a sale announce it once
or twice during the day, not every few minutes or every hour. You don't
want to flood your followers.
Here
are the type of people you want to follow for promotion (other than
personal friends, family, or celebrities, of course follow them if you
want but that's for fun not business). Find them by browsing forums you
frequent, blogs, and using the twitter search. Also make sure you check
out the profiles of people who follow you and follow them back if they
look interesting. I wouldn't recommend auto-following everyone who
follows you, there are spammers on twitter and you don't want to get
flooded with spam posts.1) People who also sell handmade products. Even if they aren't in the same niche as you.
2) People interested in your niche
