Use Twitter Automation<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone knows that Twitter is one of the largest leading social media platforms in the world \u2014 having the 11th largest monthly traffic compared to other websites.<\/p>\n<p>With the site having over 4 billion web visitors a month, the marketing campaigns that are run through this platform can easily reach thousands of individuals online.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-Twitter-Automation.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6103 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-Twitter-Automation.jpg\" alt=\"3 Insanely Affordable Marketing Strategies Twitter Automation\" width=\"1247\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the best Twitter marketing strategies that have a high likelihood of converting prospects into fully-paying customers is, really, just chatting and engaging with other users in a straightforward and personalized manner.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, doing so takes the lion&#8217;s share of the time.<\/p>\n<p>And since you\u2019re a startup, you are most likely strapped for time, money, and even manpower that you can\u2019t spend hours engaging people using Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/narrow.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter automation tools like Narrow<\/a> come in.<\/p>\n<p>Related Post:\u00a0<a title=\"Automate Social Media Marketing To Increase Your Reach\" href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/automate-social-media-marketing-increase-reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Automate Social Media Marketing To Increase Your Reach<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make the most out of engaging your audience on Twitter, you can use online tools that would enable you to automatically message people who will follow your profile on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Online marketers who are using tools like Narrow can send customized DMs (let alone, automatically) saying, <em>\u201cYou can join my free online video course happening later, at 9:00 pm EST, by clicking on this link, etc\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The tools can send messages like these in bulk to all the business owner\u2019s Twitter followers (old and new), attracting a decent-sized audience that can subscribe to their online course.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some important tips to take note of when using automated messaging tools to send a direct message (DM) to other Twitter users:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike tweets, which have a maximum limit of 140 characters per message, DMs no longer have a maximum character limit attached to it;<\/li>\n<li>Private DMs can be sent to anyone that is following your profile on Twitter; and,<\/li>\n<li>Replies can be sent to anyone who\u2019ve DMed your account on Twitter, regardless of whether they\u2019ve followed your Twitter profile or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Use Text Marketing<\/h2>\n<p>Text marketing is another affordable, effective, yet an easy-to-use marketing strategy that online course business owners can use to grow their business.<\/p>\n<p>The marketing method involves using an online platform to send text messages in bulk to smartphone users.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/small-business-marketing-plan-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbiztrends.com<\/a> show that people who integrate text messaging into their marketing strategies are likely to get better prospect responses because of the following statistics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Text messages are estimated to have a 98% open rate, which is considerably higher compared to that of emails \u2014 which is about 20%;<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s a 90% chance that a text message would be read within the first three minutes after receiving the message; and,<\/li>\n<li>Marketing campaigns that include sending texts to customers have a 40% higher conversion rate compared to those campaigns that don&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Related Post:\u00a0<a title=\"10 Online Writing And Editing Tools To Write SEO Optimized Content\" href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/10-online-tools-write-seo-optimized-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 Online Writing And Editing Tools To Write SEO Optimized Content<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the best text marketing tools that online course business owners can use is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linktexting.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linktexting.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-Text-Marketing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6102 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-Text-Marketing.jpg\" alt=\"3 Insanely Affordable Marketing Strategies Text Marketing\" width=\"1567\" height=\"928\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In essence, this marketing platform allows you to embed a customizable widget in your website that texts messages to individuals who input their mobile numbers in it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-embeddable-widget.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6104 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-embeddable-widget.jpg\" alt=\"3 Insanely Affordable Marketing Strategies embeddable widget\" width=\"489\" height=\"229\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can configure the tool to send text messages that contain information regarding the date and time of your scheduled online course webinar.<\/p>\n<p>The text message can also be customized to include a clickable link that directs the receivers to your online course from the convenience of their smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>If you are doing a series of scheduled courses online, people who are following them could use the widget to grab and save a link to the session a few hours ahead on their mobile phones and click on the link from their phones once the webinar is about to start.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Use Quora<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, a marketing strategy that anyone can use (that won\u2019t cost a penny) is to answer questions at Quora.<\/p>\n<p>The game plan is simple, log into Quora, answer bazillions of questions about your niche, and leave a link to your online course that others can enroll in should they need more answers.<\/p>\n<p>Quora is essentially a question and answer website where anyone can either ask questions or answer the questions raised by others (among other things).<\/p>\n<p>Related Post:\u00a0<a title=\"How Quora Can Help You Gain 9,000+ Users In A Month\" href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/quora-can-help-gain-9000-users-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Quora Can Help You Gain 9,000+ Users In A Month<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This website has a monthly traffic of nearly half a billion visits, making it an excellent place to market your online course business.<\/p>\n<p>Supposing you have a course about how to make money online, check out what the platform has in store for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-Quora.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6101 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/weblizar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/3-Insanely-Affordable-Marketing-Strategies-Quora.jpg\" alt=\"3 Insanely Affordable Marketing Strategies Quora\" width=\"973\" height=\"522\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pretty epic, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Before you start using Quora, however, consider these points so you can get better results out of your marketing endeavor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make sure that your answers are comprehensive enough.<\/strong> Simply answering, <em>\u201cClick this link to learn the answer to your question\u201d<\/em> will get you nowhere. Add answers that can solve your reader\u2019s problems. Make your answers count.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make \u2018em itch.<\/strong> While your answer needs to be helpful enough, don\u2019t add everything on there. After all, if you\u2019ll do that, then they won\u2019t have any incentive to click your link.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quora is a productivity black hole.<\/strong> Just a word of caution: You might want to track your time when marketing your online course business via Quora. The platform is such an epic place that you\u2019ll most likely get carried away engaging with other people for hours if you aren\u2019t careful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be picky. <\/strong>Don\u2019t just answer all the questions that you\u2019ll encounter. You\u2019ll get better results if you\u2019ll prioritize questions with a huge number of follows, first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you\u2019re done with those, then that\u2019s where you can start answering all the questions that you come across.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s next?<\/h2>\n<p>With the right strategies in place, you\u2019d be able to skyrocket your online course business\u2019s growth without having to break the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Are there other affordable, yet effective strategies that you can share with the community?<\/p>\n<p>If you have a few tricks up your sleeve, then please share it in the comments section below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of established digital companies worldwide are pouring truckloads of cash into marketing their products and services online.
