It is not really easy to achieve successful viral marketing Twitter but with the correct method it’s possible and could bring you a lot of profit.


Here are 5 simple steps to go Viral on Twitter:
1. Retweeting:
Retweeting is important so don’t take this for granted. In reality, retweeting is a way to show both your Twitter followers and friends that they really matter to you as well as the content they share with you. If you want your readers to retweet your content, convince them by motivating them through offers of incentives. When content is retweeted, your call to action is reposted giving it more influence and credibility.
2. Timing is Important.
There is a time frame during which sharing on Twitter happens more often so you should keep an eye on the following:
  • The first few days of the business week.
  • Monday through Wednesday (weekends are usually slower).
3. Including Links on Your Tweets:
Almost 70% of all retweets contain a link. So if you really want to spread your content, you should make sure that you do utilize links in your tweets. Just make sure you combine it with other types of tweets now and then and do not spam your followers with ads!
4. The Peer Effect:
The more the tweet is tweeted, the more likely it would catch on faster. So one tactic to increasing your retweetability could be to message or otherwise persuade influential tweeps or friends on twitter to retweet your content for you, in order to stimulate further organic retweeting. This can be especially powerful if you can get well known users to share your content, as they’ll then be lending their authority and reach to your message as well as your calls to action.
5. Value:
You will notice that there are specific types of posts, links and topics that get more retweets than others so focus on them as much as possible if you want to be retweeted more often.
  • News (especially breaking news)
  • Warnings (like the DM phishing scam)
  • Tips, how tos and instructional content
  • Freebies and contests
