Paying for tweet, anyone tried?

Hi

I have noticed there are some interesting sites where you can pay "celebrities" to tweet an ad/offer of yours. Ranging in price of course depending on the followers etc. There are a few websites that offer this service and was wondering if anyone has tried it.

I was going to pay $150 for John Chow to tweet a CPA of mine, but can't make my mind up on weather this will perform well or simply not at all.

Thanks
Luke

    I have noticed a huge influx of traffic because of a celebrity retweet on one of my yoga sites. I know they can drive some traffic. Not sure if that means sales, but it can mean traffic. If you choose to do this I'd love to know how it worked out.

    I've tried once with one tweet seller and wasted my money. Everything depends on how targeted and responsive their followers are, not actually the number of them. One could have a 100k followers with just a bunch of them who are good. People often prefer quantity over quality. They could have robotic followers, those who follow for follow back, tire-kickers who just follow to pick a tip or two and never buy anything, re-tweeters whose goal is only to exchange re-tweets, etc.

    Buying tweets is too risky. You can't say exactly about the quality of followers of a specific person. This is almost like a lottery. You'd better off doing PPC ads. Here you can target keywords you need and pay only per targeted visitor who reaches your offer, not for hopes and miracles. My 2 cents.

    John Chow is an IM super star so I think his followers are of best quality. But...

    If you'd like to risk to check it out, don't you just announce a CPA offer. Build your list!

      Building your list rather than just CPA seems sensible, thanks.

    I think it depends on the celebrity and whether that his/her followers fit your target demographic. But seriously, I'm wary about paying a celebrity to post tweets ever since I read Billboard's story on Justine Bieber's fake Twitter followers.

    Maximum followers of John Chow are tech shavy or advanced level internet user. You wouldn't get a good result with CPA. Better try some hosting deal or bundle product offer. That would convert better.
