Are you up to date with what your competitors are doing? Probably not so you need ways to spy on your competitors. Who would have thought that the ever popular Twitter social network’s site can be used a s a spy tool right? Well, we are here to tell you that you can in fact use Twitter to spy on your competitors and it is pretty much a very legal thing to do.
Observe these ways that we share below.
Spy on your competitors by following them..
On twitter, you can choose to follow your competitors and your competitors will not mind it at all. By doing this you can watch their every move that they do on twitter and learn what they have been up to lately. Just by doing this you can gather a lot of precious Intel on what they have been doing or what they are planning to do. You can then make your move based on the Intel gathered.
Hey… all’s fair when it comes to war right?spy on your competitors” src=”http://simple-sponsoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/man-29535_150.png” alt=”Spy On Your Competitors”http://simple-sponsoring.com”>spy on your competitors” width=”150″ height=”150″ />
The beauty of it all is that you do not even actually need to follow your competitor directly. All you need to do is to create a private twitter list and add your competitor’s twitter account or accounts onto this private this. This way, you will be able to get all the latest news and updates from them and by doing this you will be able to catch their business strategies and learn their every move.
Stalk their replies.
What we are indicating here is merely to monitor and learn what they do on their @replies to some of the questions your competitors might get. When you do a search of your competitor’s username, you will be able to see what everyone has been saying about your competitors.
Again by spying on this, you will gather some of the most precious Intel about your competition. If people are praising their products, you can learn what others like about your competitor’s product and try to implement it into your own product. This way, you can take away all the bad things that people stay away from and improve your products with knowledge on what people adore.
Using this method you can even locate all the suggestions and questions that the general public might have on your competitors and using this super important Intel that you have gathered you can instantly create a F.A.Q sheet for your own product so that you can educate your own customers more effectively about your own product.
Now that you know how to do this to your competitors, you can also use this method to do a search on your own twitter username and find out the same kind of information that you need to further improve your own product and services. Here’s where it gets tricky. You can monitor your competition and see if they are tending to all the questions that have been asked. If they are missing out on some of the replies, you can jump at this opportunity and answer the questions that are being asked, and this could help you funnel some traffic back to your own site. If your product is proven to be better, you will see that people will start buying you product instead.
More information from their followers.
There’s a service out there called Tweepi where you can actually use it to spy on your competitor’s followers. This service is simply remarkable. It is remarkable because you can use this service to find out a list of their followers and learn more about their biggest fans. You can then try to approach them manually, or you can even compare the statistics you have on your competitors with your own.
Another great service you can use is a service called Twitter counter. This service literally tells you how fast your competitor’s followers are growing, and this gives you a rough idea of how healthy your competitor’s growth is compared to your own.
Using these tools and services you can approach your competitor’s main influencers and with proper relationship building, you might even be able to win them over in favor of you and get them to start helping out in spreading the words about your business. You can even strike out some special deals with them so they can get some sort of extra benefits if they choose to help your business instead.
Other social networks
All your social secrets are mine! Yes, many twitter users actually connect their twitter account with other social network accounts such as Facebook or YouTube. What this means to you is from their Twitter account alone you will also be able to find out their other strategies that they have been using on other social network platforms.
The next logical thing you can do from here is to make sure you and your business is not left behind, and you should try to do the same thing they are doing and improve on what they have been doing on other social networks.
Check out their blog posts
Again via their twitter account, you should be able to gain access to your competitor’s blogs or articles that they have published. From these articles and posts you can find out what are the main focuses of your competitors and if they are doing the right thing.
Obviously not everything that your competitor is doing would means that it is working. Some strategy that they are implementing could be harming their business and even they do not know about it. Hence it is up to you to filter out the information that you have gathers through your own snooping around and try to put what works into your own business and weed out the bad things that harms your own business.
If you keep doing this to most of your competitors, sooner or later you will rise to the top and be the leader of the industry. This is all good, but you should never stop growing from there because just as you can spy on your competitors, you must understand that they could be doing the very same to you right this moment!
Almost everyone who is trying to make a buck is blogging these days right? Well… not everyone. Some of us internet marketers have not found the reason why there is a need to start a blog. Well here’s why.
It improves your writing skills.
Practice makes perfect. If you’ve ever wanted to improve your writing skills, blogging and constant posting on your blog can be a good way to hone your writing skills. To run a successful blog you will have to be constantly writing and editing your own written work. You cannot expect a blog to be successful when you rarely update your blog or if you just post contents with very few words. 
There can be many reasons to why you wish to improve your writing skills but as an internet marketer, you have to understand that the medium of communication between you and your prospects is your writing skills. Honing your writing will be equivalent to learning how to express yourself effectively towards your readers and thus blogging can be a great tool to help you improve overall as an internet marketer.
Your online network.
If you have a huge network of sites (this is usually true for social marketers) that is all jumbled up or if your network resembles a messy spider web, then a blog can serve to be the center of your networks.
You can use your blog and point all your social marketing network pages and links to go back to your blog. Doing this can help you save a lot of time updating all the network of pages that you have. On your blog you can include Facebook, Twitter updates, Fan boxes and pretty much a lot of other social marketing buttons that you might want on your blog.
This is a huge time saver and you can finally be more organized with your social marketing efforts.
New Ideas comes from constant posting.
When you are constantly posting, and reading comments that you get on your blog post, more often than not you will get new fresh ideas for your next big project that can earn you a lot of money. The constant communications and sharing of your thoughts to your readers can help you identify key problems that your audience are currently having.
By identifying these problems, you will be able to come out with ample solutions that can potentially be sold for money if you feel that the content is exclusive. Otherwise you can just post your solution as new post to help your avid readers to build even more trust to you and your business.
Expanding offline
There are instances where pro bloggers move and expand their business to offline consultation, seminars or even marketing companies because of the new people that they meet while networking happens via their blog. This is a true special opportunity that comes when your reader’s think that you have what it takes to be a partner and they will approach you and network with you. These opportunities happen because your blog reached out to them and touched with lives in one way or another.
Blogging for a living.
Need another reason to start a blog? Did you know that many ordinary people are successfully blogging for a full time income online? And that’s not all because there are millionaire bloggers out there who are living their dream lives today because they took advantage of blogging and monetize the traffic on their blog. Some bloggers sold their blog for a huge lump sum of money because it is worth that much more when you have a blog that has a lot of traffic.
Community building.
A blog is a great place for you to interact with your customers. In the olden days where no blogs exist, the only way for you to communicate with your customers online is via email or support questions that come to your help desk. These days, your blogs can be used to help build a strong community within your blog and you can communicate and help them with your blog post as you move on daily on your business.
Speak out our heart
Blogs let us express ourselves and share our thoughts, opinions and expertize easily. Constant communication and sharing of your work with your network of readers can ultimately lead them to trust you, and this will lead to more profits to you. Marketers have realized that there are two ways that ultimately lead to a sale. One is to use a sales letter and try to push a sale fast, and the other is to build trust via constant communication and valuable content and people will buy your stuff even when you are not pushing for the sale.
Therefore, if you hate to use pushy sales letters on your products, consider blogging your heart out and show the world how much you believe your product works, and you will find yourself selling in a subtle way, and you will also get a lot of ‘thank you’ notes in return.
People read more on blogs…
It is much easier to read contents on blogs than it is on an email. This is a big reason to start a blog and why a lot of the best email marketers these days a directing traffic from their email list to their blogs so that their message gets read more. Besides that, your messages can potentially be read by other prospects on coming in from your blogs other than from your email list. This way, your message is not only limited to the people that is on your list, and at the same time you can use the blog to help increase the size of your list as well.
Some top marketers say a major reason to start a blog is to …..Attract more leads.
When you have a strong amount of readers on your blog, you will find that your blog will start to go viral with the help of word of mouth advertising. This is a great form of free advertising and you will get a lot of free and qualified leads this way. Blogging is truly a wonderful way to earn more money and acquire more leads.
