Social Media Tips – Using New Media Guerrilla Marketing in Turbulent Business Economies

Places like Twitter make it easy for you to search for and connect with people in your target group. From there on you build the relationship, show your knowledge, grow your authority and hopefully get customers.

You can subscribe to alerts for keywords that are used on Twitter and then identify which tweets are from companies needing services falling into your particular niche. Then, you can reply to their tweet, saying that you may be able to help them out. There is no hard sell here; it is more like being at an event and saying, “I overheard you say you are looking to have your website translated. What exactly are you looking for?”. Sometimes you will be ignored while other times you will go off the site and start communicating directly.

Eventually, you will obtain clients that come to you as a result of them following your business on Twitter. When they need a company that offers your particular services, guess who will be in the front of the line?
