Be human, interact with people, give them the facts about your business, let them know the human side of it, make people get interested and follow you on twitter; then do the advertisement in a very prompt and humble manner. You can tweet “hello friends! I have added a new item to my store today, view the pictures and let me know whether you are interested  “instead of posting “offer!!! Offer!! Offer!! 15% discount on all our products! Hurry!! “

Share the story of you and your company (if it is not too personal), crack some jokes, post links to the things you liked, ask for suggestions from your followers. This will certainly increase the customer’s faith in your company, and if people know how much you are committed to things like satisfying your customers etc.., people are probably going to buy your product at some point of time.

•    Make use of the Tools: It is not always possible for you to open a webpage, then type in the twitter web address, and then sign in to view your tweets; this is where twitter applications come in. These applications help you to be a successful twitterer with features that are very helpful and customizable.

•    Follow wise people: Don’t follow people on twitter before doing a proper research about their twitter accounts. Fake accounts of famous personalities can be created very easily in twitter, so it is necessary for you to check whether the twitter accounts of famous personalities are verified (verified accounts will have a blue tick mark symbol with the text “Verified Account” near to it). When you are trying to follow particular people, for example: sales manager of a particular company, you would not be able to find them through a raw search on twitter; in this case, follow the organization they represent and find the particular person’s name from the organization’s followers list.

•    Participate in discussions and ask/provide suggestions: When someone who you are following starts a healthy discussion, make sure that you are taking part in it; if you make some interesting points and if that gets retweeted, there is a good chance of you getting more followers and this will have a positive impact on the business you run. If you have any doubts about things that you are not aware of, don’t hesitate to ask a suggestion from your followers; also, give as many suggestions as possible if someone needs it.

Even though there are several other ways to increase your business through twitter, the points mentioned above are the basic and most vital ones. When you keep all the above points in mind while you are using twitter, there is no doubt that you along with your business will find fruitful results through twitter!

The reason is, YouTube is not just a site that is loaded with videos, but is also the world 2’nd largest search engine!! And the beauty is, a person needs minimal expertise to optimize YouTube videos to reap results , which is practically superior than what regular search engines like Google and Yahoo do. But to do that, the user should have the basic knowledge about optimizing their Media content that they upload in YouTube.

Below given are some simple steps that will help a user to optimize their videos in the best way possible…..

• Maintain Quality: Always make sure that the media content for YouTube is superior in quality. Which means that any user who comes across and plays the content should not be annoyed by the way it is presented (Loud background noise for presentations, irritating gestures by the person in the video, long pauses making the viewer to wait, video without proper lighting and sound, funny videos that may backfire etc…).
• Data research: Refine your data before converting it in to a YouTube video. For example, if you are going to advertise about a company that manufactures tooth brush, then data related to the history of the tooth brush and adding some interesting facts to it will make the video very watchable!
• Proper heading and a good description: Always try to have a heading that is general or make the text of the heading in such a way that it is catchy and easily understandable, also make sure that the headings have the right keywords. For example, if you are creating the video to sell a mouth organ, then a heading like “ mouthorgan for sale!” or “ chinese mouthorgan for sale” (the word Chinese will make the content easily reach the target viewers since it is regional and one can be sure that a certain number of people will look for it). Also, make a very proper and detailed description about whatever your video is about. If your video is about and umbrella, the viewers may even mistype the spelling as “umberla” or “umbrella” . So, in this case, if you have covered all these different words in the description, then even though the viewer mistypes it during the video search, still, your video will show on the results.
• As many Tags as possible: Add as many tags as possible; always remember that the new YouTube system doesn’t need you to separate the tags with commas or anything. For example, if your  video is about  an airplane from the USA travelling to south Africa, then the tags should be like “ airplane from USA travelling to south Africa “ and it goes on.
• Choose Proper category: Some may say that your video can be in any category as it doesn’t matter much. But the fact is, it matters a lot. For example, if you have created an entertainment video and you have selected the category as music, even though you have some high ratings and discussions going on, your video won’t be rated in the top lists of YouTube; the reason is the competition may be stiff in the music category, so it is always better to select the proper category and leave it to You Tube to take care of the rest.
• Proper response: If the video you have created is a business video or a video which urges the user to contact you, they might even contact you by placing comments on your video page. So, it is very important to go through all of the comments and the e-mails you get in You Tube and reply the ones that are worth it! Also, it is always a good practice to thank the viewers if they comment or rate your video, which will make them, spread the word about your video.
• Proper redirection: Add genuine details on the video for the viewers to see so that if they are interested in it, they can visit it without being disappointed by it. Do not add advertisements that are very annoying and disturb the user too much from the main content, your reputation will drop in some time for sure!

There are even more things that one can do to increase the traffic, but the base line is, being very responsible and kind to the people. When this becomes your core value, then automatically the traffic for your YouTube video will increase gradually, if not suddenly!
