A wise business marketer knows that while social media is carefree and fun, business objectives have to be cleared. For any business, the main objective is to earn. In today’s marketing climate, simply screaming “Buy Me” rarely works anymore. Even giant, world-renowned brands have adapted the long route to harvesting the fruits of sales. Social media marketing starts with building communities in social platforms like Twitter. The next question is how does a business make money from acquired Twitter followers?
Converting Twitter followers into loyal customers is both a science and an art. Below are 3 highly effective techniques in turning your followers into customers.

Your Twitter account is the best customer service platform you’ll ever have – it’s brief and easy for people to get in touch. A tweet of your brand or a mention should not be left ignored in thin air.
