To use Twitter as an affiliate marketing tool, discuss what you’re doing that relates to the products you’re promoting. For instance, instead of telling those following you that you’re headed to the bank, let them know you’re working on an opt-in page and then include the link. If they’re interested enough to follow you, they may choose to take the trip with you as you build the page.

Yesterday I used twitter to do a promotional giveaway of a new product. 18 out of 300 followers (6%) chose to sign up for the giveaway. Not bad for my first dabble at promoting a product this way.
That’s a darn good conversion rate Cornelius. I find that my Twitter followers are very responsive too. Reason = they *know* me and trust me.
