"BOOST YOUR ENGAGEMENT WITH TWITTER POLLS"
Wendy: Hi everybody my name is Wendy Fore from Cash Life Mastery where we’re helping entrepreneurs find their way into profit by bootstrapping their business and today you’re on Cash Life Mastery Social Juice where we’re going to be talking about Twitter Polls.
.... and my illustrious co-host Mr Keith Keller the Aussie man himself is in the house to help us talk about Twitter today. So Keith Tell everybody how they can reach you?
Keith: We’re doing this series of blabs every Monday night at 7:00pm there is a little bit of a teaser of how Twitter works if you want to know more about that you can follow me @KeithKeller or http://keithkeller.com.au and don’t forget the au because I’m in Australia and I’ve got a completely free e-book and I’d really like you to go and download that because it is completely free and it’s a bit of a sort of a summation of what we talk around here, if you want to do that in your own time, but these blabs are all a bit of fun and a little bit interactive, we talk for about 15 to 20 minutes and then we do the after show party.
Wendy: So Keith, how are you using Twitter Polls?
Keith: What I love about Twitter Polls and I’ll show you exactly how I’ve used them because I’ve done six this week as an experiment. So I said okay I’m going to create some more content for you what would you prefer? Would you prefer that I make videos? Would you prefer that I make podcasts? Would you prefer that I Blog? And would you prefer a transcript? Because remember in Twitter polls and because just in case you don’t know how they work you can have up to four questions and it can be up to seven days , which means you can start on a Friday and have your weekends off and come back on Monday and still keep working. Here’s exactly how I use them
Do you want to use video?
Do you want to use podcasts?
Do you want a blog?
Or do you want me to get the transcript of my interview?
Because you know that’s going to cost me some money but I don’t mind doing it if people get value and it’s a matter of where to spend money and where to spend your money and where to spend your time. After about two days podcast started to surge ahead so what I did was I did subsequent polls which said okay if you’re really into podcasts would you prefer that I put them on Sound Cloud, iTunes, Sticher, or something else? iTunes was the very, very, very clear winner. Very clear 40% of the people said look if I’m going to listen to a podcast iTunes. About 34% said they want to listen to it on Sound Cloud. No one mentioned Sticher in-spite of the fact that people are pumping it up and other people said you know what I’ll just listen to it on my media player or something else at home. But iTunes was the far and clear win and why that’s interesting to me is if we’re going to move forward with a paid podcast strategy then we need to factor iTunes into that because that is what people are telling me.
Wendy: Twitter Polls are basically a way to form a business strategy so if you have these kind of questions and you need to know where to spend your money, or you need to know where to spend your time? Twitter polls are a good way to help you get your clients to answer those questions that will benefit your business.
Keith: Yeah it’s an incredibly useful tool and as I said this is really, really interesting..
