Twitter is a much faster community than Facebook, but it is very easy to reach a targeted group of people for free. The idea is, that you build your profile and your follower list.
This list you can build by searching for people with an interest in your product or service and add them to your following list. Hopefully, they will follow you back and you can start to post on their profile.

Social Media Marketing – The Benefits of Video on Social Media
Video offers a great way to interact more personally with customers, clients, and friends than text, words, and pictures. The video will create a more personal interaction between you and your followers, friends, fans, and connections on social media.
Here are the benefits of using video on social media.
1) Conversions and Sales
Posting a video will make people and customers visiting your social media profile take the next step and buy your products, sign up for email newsletters and come back to your social media profile and website again. “How to” and “Tutorial” videos work great!
The video is a more powerful communication tool than any other because it has the potential to incorporate sound, text, graphics, and pictures, meaning it will convince more people to use your products or services.
When people click on your social media videos, they want to find out more about you, and videos are the best way to showcase your products or services.
2) Personal Interaction
The secret of the video is offering a more personal interaction between you and your followers on social media sites. Because video will often contain a personal touch such as your voice, your presence, and narration, users will often feel like they are interacting with you on a more personal level than on a blog or article posted on social media.
They will know you and trust you. They will interact with you through webinars and comments on the feed and research more on your products and company’s information.
The personal touch that video offers on social media will also be likely to be remembered by viewers for a longer time.
3) Video and Competition
The video will make you stand out from all your competition in social media sites. When a potential customer researches your product/service or wants to buy your products/services, he will search for information online.
On social media sites, and if you have a video, your profile will not only stand out from the rest, it will appear higher on the search results.
Stats show that a web page that contains video has a fifty percent chance on appearing on the first page of Google if it contains a video than if it does not. Don’t forget that people love the video and the visual content more than text.
By posting your video rather than just text, you are helping your profile to stand out from the crowd, and potentially attracting more viewers and visitors to your website. So you can increase traffic and sales more effectively.
