A little something wonderful happened for me a few days ago when using Twitter. I started a blogging site just a few weeks ago. It was hardly completed and yes it only had about four posts and a hundred site visitors in total… up until the other night that is.
The Twitter Celebrity Retweet Gamble
I follow a well known Scottish high profile businessman on Twitter, Duncan Bannatyne. I’m not sure how well recognised he is in the US but he’s got numerous TV shows in the United Kingdom and the majority of people have heard about him.
Nevertheless, he issued a tweet that was relevant to my most recent article. And so, on the off chance I set-aside a minute or so of time to deliver him a tweet with a hyperlink to my blog post and ended using a call to action: “please feel free to RT if you like”. I thought no more of it.
Yet, to my amazement he did retweet it, to his 73 thousand followers at that time! I checked the numbers for that blog post and inside the first 5 minutes I’d acquired over 200 unique visits for the post but it was increasing each time I refreshed.
The How and Why of Twitter Celebrity Retweets
I created a business mindset related web site and he is a highly regarded celeb business man so it is perfectly targeted website traffic.
I needed to discuss this with you as it is an excellent way of sending huge amounts of targeted, no cost, guru backed people to your website assuming you have one. I reckon that it’d work with many other web site types also but blog sites work most effectively with this. It’s a bit of a gamble, but with just a minute of one’s time to give up it’s seriously worth a punt occasionally.
So, for those who have a site and would like free effortless targeted traffic, follow famous people on Twitter which suit your market and send them links to some blog posts you’ve got which are relevant to their particular recent tweets. Add a similar request to retweet, just like I have done. Then sit back and observe the website traffic roll in.
The Brand New Business Mindset Approach
So how is this technique entrepreneur mindset specific? To be honest, the “aged” approach to drive hundreds of people to a web site would possibly entail creating an online or offline advert and buying visitors. Or maybe developing a internet search engine optimized website and waiting around for months while Google slowly and gradually sent site visitors your way.
You will concur that any good business mindset teaches us to perform things the most cost-efficient way. You don’t get much more efficient than tons of free targeted customers for just one minute or two of your time.
