The power of the Retweet

INTERNET MARKETING

I wrote a new post on my blog yesterday, Tweeted about it, and got 206 visitors to my site.

The post was "Seven Essential Tools For Your DIY Publicity Campaign." Here is what I tweeted: 7 Essential Tools For Your DIY Publicity Campaign: http://bit.ly/QAVE If you find it useful, can you give it some stumble/DIGG love?

I also had three inquiries about my press release writing services yesterday. I'm sure this is from people who saw my Tweet or saw all the people re-tweeting it. Now, not every person who inquires follows through, but a good percentage do.

The takeaways here: 1.) List stories and list headlines are always popular. Go to Copywriting Tips for Online Marketing Success From Copyblogger ? Copyblogger and study his posts about effective headline writing for more tips. 2.) Writing a useful post in your field of knowledge and tweeting it is a KILLER way to drive traffic!

Dana, do you know how to change a long URL into the tiny URLs that twitter produces.

Every time I send out a tweet and post my url it usually doesnt leave me with much to write due to the word limit.

Thanks

Always put the url as http://www. and it will automatically change it to a tiny url.

  But it only changes it after you send your tweet.
  
  TinyURL or TwitClicks (comes with tracking) is your answer
  
  Also, I can vouch for the power of the retweet, as I can see the same starting to happen to me.
  
  Keep in mind that this will not happen straight away. First you must build up a relationship with your followers so they trust you and see you as an authority figure in your niche.
