The Art of Writing Great Twitter Headlines

Twitter is a popular social media tool to promote your business but in order to get the most benefit from it you will need to ensure that you write great headlines to send people to your free website without over-selling.

Make Your Twitter Headlines Interesting and Informative

Although you want to use Twitter to send traffic to your free website you also don’t want to over-sell. Make sure that each headline provides valuable information to your follower – that they don’t need to pay for, and then you can take it from there.

Interesting and informative Twitter headlines can be done in a number of ways – firstly, sharing quotes related to your business. Although these may not be directly credited to your company, they do keep followers interested and allow you to add other, more promotional, messages as well.

Another way is to share your article marketing – link to articles you have written or press releases by your company, where people can find free information that answers a question they may have or provides some interesting information. They then click through to your article or press release with its resource box at the bottom and from there you can promote your free website.

Link to new blog posts you have written on your blog. This can be done automatically with some blogging software such as Wordpress plug-ins.

Write on topics of interest and learn how to use hash tags to be more easily found. These topics may not be directly related to your company but by writing about popular topics that people are searching for then when they find your comment and look at your profile, they will also see your website address and perhaps visit your website.

How to Make a Website Twitter Friendly

Apart from writing great headlines, there are also other ways you can use Twitter to promote your site. If you want to make a website Twitter-friendly then you should think about things like linking to your Twitter profile, allowing people to post comments from your website, and automatically connecting your Wordpress blog to Twitter.

By linking your website to your Twitter profile you encourage website visitors to follow you there too and so remain updated about what is happening on your site, the articles you have written, blog posts you have posted, etc.

Automatically connecting your blog to Twitter makes it a lot easier to post a comment each time you add a new blog post. This is especially convenient if you line up a number of posts to publish automatically as this will release the Twitter headline at the right time as well, so attracting more traffic to your blog.

Use Twitter to get more traffic to your free website by writing great Twitter headlines that are informative and keep your followers interested. Also make your website more Twitter friendly by connecting it to Twitter and allowing your blog to post automatic Twitter updates.
