Big Tips to Get People Retweeting

Today, I’d like to introduce you to our guest author, Harris Fellman. Harris recently launched CoupDeTwitter – a course on how to properly get started with twitter, get lots of followers, and turn those followers into cash.

He is by no means a Social Media Purist, but still he teaches what he considers the “right way” to interact on Twitter & other Social Media platforms (hint: it ain’t by spamming people your offers). Harris has a number of years of success in the internet marketing realm and I feel very honored to have him as a guest author today.

With that … here’s Harris’ blog post entitled “Big Tips to Get People Retweeting”:  

I’m about to show you how to really SUPERCHARGE your Twitter efforts by getting people to click on things that you send out, and more importantly how to get your followers to actually ReTweet your messages. When they do this, it gets your Twitter ID in front of their followers; their followers will very often come check YOU out & consider following you as well.

(And for all you Search Engine Optimization experts out there, your head should be spinning at how awesome it is to get people sending out LINKS to your Twitter pages. But I’ll leave that conversation to the experts of that field.)

In my last post I talked about building a relationship with your followers and gave you an easy to follow daily process of things that you can to do to help you start connecting to people in the right way. I also mentioned jumping into conversations where you feel you might have relevant or interesting things to contribute.

That’s all well and good, and it works, but there are some things that you can put into place that will literally put your Tweeting and newfound relationships with your followers into hyperdrive.

One of the keys to the success of this approach is not just getting people to talk TO you, you want them to talk about you as well, and that’s where Retweeting comes in. The funnier, more interesting, & more emotional your tweets are; the better chance that they’ll be ReTweeted. But don’t think that just because you’re witty and handy with a good line or two that it will entice people to retweet what you’re writing.

There are some proven tactics that will get people spreading your Tweets all over the Twitterverse and I’m about to share a couple of them with you right now. Not only that, once you engage your followers and start giving back, they’ll click your links AND retweet them as well! (I love it when I see people ReTweeting links of mine that actually have *affiliate URLs* in them – but that’s a topic for my CoupDeTwitter members only – heh heh.)

Okay, so how do I get people to start retweeting me?

Once again, this is not nearly as hard as you might think. One of the most popular and MOST retweeted segments that you can put out there are: Famous Quotes. It’s true. People simply love to retweet good quotations. It might seem silly but there’s actually a ton of value in doing this. It’s a great use of Twitter to instantly get a motivational thought coming through the timeline and it turns out that people just love to ReTweet them back out.

There are a bunch of places you can go to find great quotes.

My wife bought be a book called “The Most Brilliant Thoughts of All Time” which has 100′s of quotes in them. Every once in a while, I pop open the book & look for a quotation or two that I like. But even easier for you would be to find a website that has quotes that you can cut and paste right in. Instead of me telling you my favorite quotations websites; just go ahead and type “motivational quotes”, “success quotes”, “sports quotations”, or whatever tickles your fancy into your favorite Google .. er, I mean, your favorite search engine and you’ll find more than what you’re looking for.

Once you get into the groove with this, I recommend even using a service like Social Oomph to automatically send quotes out from your Twitter account for days and months to come. I love me some Social Oomph & this is a great use for that service.

Once you find a quotations site that you like, you’ll find literally hundreds if not thousands of quotes. Some of them are obviously too many characters to fit in a single Tweet, but there are many to choose from that fit right in. Oh, and one rule of thumb especially with things that you’re wanting to get retweeted… even though you have 140 characters to work with, keep your quotation tweets down to around 120 which gives people room to retweet them and not have to modify them at all since they’ll be putting “RT @yournamehere” in front of each Tweet when they re-send it out (which is, of course, the entire point of this little exercise).

A little something else regarding quotations that I love to do is to pick a person that is currently in the news. Recently we had a rash of celebrities passing away – I went out and Googled quotations from those very people & helped to honor them with good positive quotes from them. Great stuff. People seemed to really appreciate (and retweet) those quotes.

That’s enough about quotations, I’ve got one more big tip for you…

Alright, now another thing you’re going to want to tweet of real value is pertinent, up to date and breaking information about your particular interest or niche. How do you keep right on the cutting edge of things related to your business or niche? If you didn’t already know about this, you’re gonna freakin’ love me for telling you about it.

Google has a service called “Alerts“.

When you sign up at http://alerts.google.com, you can have the god of the internet, Google, send you all kinds of information right into your e-mail that keep you completely up to date on just about any topic you can imagine. You should put in pretty narrow keyword terms so you don’t get too much crap to sift through. But even if you do, you can always adjust it later. Just get out there and get started.

You’ll have blog posts, news items, and web pages sent directly to your inbox. Scan through it looking for what you feel is the best articles and then viola — use that content in your tweets! Sending out this sort of information will train your followers that you’re a giver of good information; and, more importantly, it will train them to click on stuff that you send out. Many will even ReTweet these posts, thus telling their followers that YOU are a good source of up-to-the-minute information as well.

Putting your Twitter marketing efforts on hyperdrive, my friend, that’s what CoupDeTwitter is all about.

Try these tips for yourself! You’ll be shocked at how well this really works. And when you do, please let me know through my Twitter account @harrisfellman. I’ve got tons more to share with you when you decide to become a member of the growing “Twinja Army” – people just like you who are “taking over” Twitter with my incredible Coup De Twitter system. I hope to see you in my private forums soon!

Why Build Relationships on Twitter?

Get Targeted Twitter Followers

Yesterday Harris Fellman was here to tell you about his Coup De Twitter. Well he’s back again today.

Harris recently launched CoupDeTwitter – a course on how to properly get started with twitter, get lots of followers, and turn those followers into cash.

He is by no means a Social Media Purist, but still he teaches what he considers the “right way” to interact on Twitter & other Social Media platforms (hint: it ain’t by spamming people your offers). Harris has a number of years of success in the internet marketing realm and I feel very honored to have him as a guest author today.

With that … here’s Harris’ blog post entitled “The Easy Way to Get Targeted Twitter Followers”:

Maybe you’re like I was just a few months ago, thinking:

“Twitter is short for Time Waster”

or

“Twitter is just not a business tool”

or

“I joined Twitter and I just don’t get it”

I’ve introduced a number of people to Twitter and I hear things like this all the time. Especially the last statement. Typically what happens is someone will join up, invite some of their friends, and then lo and behold, sit there and wait around for something to happen. Although the founders of Twitter claim that it’s just a micro-blogging tool, it really has become a rapidly growing , if somewhat rudimentary, social network.

Like I said in my last blog post on the subject, there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about attacking Twitter for your own purposes. If you’re jumping into Twitter and looking at it primarily as a way to make money, you’ll fail miserably and you’ll fail quickly.

Allow me to remind you of my rules for “right” Twittering:

1. First get a good network of followers going.
   
2. Build relationships with your network.
   
3. Get your followers to click on your links & tell others about you by retweeting your messages
   
4. Then, and only then, consider how you might monetize the network.

I actually recommend that you don’t even bother thinking about making any money with your twitter contacts until you’ve got at least 5000 followers. I know what you’re thinking. HANG ON THERE! 5000 followers? How am I gonna get 5000 followers? The answer is quite simple, my friends.

Follow other people first.

It’s based on the law of reciprocity: you follow someone, they follow you back. It’s really the ‘way of the world’ on Twitter and it works far better than any one of the other systems out there. Some of those other ideas for getting followers can work, but truthfully, at the core “follow others and they’ll follow back” is the best system out there. You’re in control of who you’re following & thus what ‘target audience’ you’re hitting as well.

Depending on what niche or business you happen to be in you can expect somewhere between 20 to 50% of those people to follow you back.

Wait a second, Harris… What’s this “business or niche” part?

Let me explain:
One of the coolest aspects of Twitter is that you can really focus down and TARGET people who are interested in what you have to say. I first recommend that you create a good profile and decent background for your account that really shows off your personality and main interests. Make it, what I call, “Follow Friendly” so that when you follow people, they see your Twitter account, the right people will want to follow you back. (The ‘right people’ being people that are also interested in what your key interests or business is all about.)

I’ll finish up this post by letting you in on some some great services that will help you find people who are in your niche and share your personal interests. Be sure to check out MrTweet.com, WeFollow.com, and Twibes.com. All you have to do at these sites is type in your keyword and find people in your industry or niche. What you’ll want to do here is find people on Twitter in your area of interest with (generally) between 2,000 and 100,000 followers. And then what you want to do is … not only follow them, but FOLLOW THEIR FOLLOWERS, TOO. Twitter allows you to follow up to 1000 per day – I recommend more like 300-500 per day.

And don’t think you have to do it all yourself – you can hire a virtual assistant to do it for you for a few hundred bucks a month or get a software tool that does this as well. And believe me, there’s plenty of tools out there! I’ve personally tested out a large number of these “follow tools” and the one I recommend is called “TwitSniper“.

Of course it doesn’t stop there. There’s a lot more to all of this than just following people (like creating avatars, building relationships, & making money!). And, as you can expect, this is all covered in my Social Media Income System entitled “Coup De Twitter“. There’s a free video for you there with no sign-up required to watch.

Lastly, if you have any questions for me, you can find me on Twitter – my ID there is @harrisfellman – I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for Reading,

(1 of 5) How to Take Over Twitter

Two months ago I told you about Coup De Twitter or Coup De Ta On Twitter, and then I told you I Joined The Army.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to our guest author, Harris Fellman. Harris recently launched CoupDeTwitter – a course on how to properly get started with twitter, get lots of followers, and turn those followers into cash.

He is by no means a Social Media Purist, but still he teaches what he considers the “right way” to interact on Twitter & other Social Media platforms (hint: it ain’t by spamming people your offers). Harris has a number of years of success in the internet marketing realm and I feel very honored to have him as a guest author today.

With that … here’s Harris’ blog post entitled “How to Take Over Twitter”:

It’s everywhere. From blogs to newspapers to books at Barnes and Noble. And it’s loud. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet.

It’s Twitter. And whether you like it or not (yet) it’s going to be around in some form or another for a long time I suspect. Might as well get used to it, right?

A couple of months ago I was in the same boat many of you might be in right now, wondering whether all this Twitter madness was of any use to me at all or whether it was just a bunch of noise, literally. But I started to hear a lot of Twitter related stories and talked to people that I personally know who were using it in ways that I hadn’t considered before.

And the lightbulb finally went off for me. There was some serious power in Twitter! People were not only using Twitter to make connections and network with others, they were making money too. Some of them making LOTS of it as I came to find out.

The biggest thing that stood out for me is this…

From a marketing perspective, Twitter = Listbuilding. Plain and simple. Proper listbuilding is all about building a list AND building relationships with the people on that list. And in many cases the people I was talking to confided in me that their Twitter contacts were more responsive than even their e-mail lists were. As a long time email marketer, I was pretty shocked. But I started doing research and I discovered several truths that I want to share with you.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to go about using Twitter, and some rules of thumb to keep in mind along the way. But there are several crucial steps you’ll want to take note of.
Here’s how this works:

1. Get followers. Sounds simple right? But there’s a lot of stuff out there that will make you think you can just automate the process and be done with it. BEWARE, Twitter is watching. If you do it wrong, you’re sunk. Account Suspended. Tweet no more.

2. Build a relationship with your followers. Yes, that’s right, you’re going to need to start talking with your followers! You want to treat them like you would anyone you might meet at any other social gathering, stipulating that you’re not at a professional wrestling event and everyone is already yelling at one another. <G>

3. Get them Clicking & ReTweeting. Once you build that relationship with them you want to encourage (gently) them to start clicking links you provide with items of interest and most of all to get them Retweeting your posts. Why? Because the *real* power of Twitter is NOT in your own list of followers. Nope. The real power is in the power of the exponent. If you give things of value to the Twitterverse, the Twitterverse will return the favor… Tenfold.

4. Last but not least. You want to make money right? Of course you do. Once you’ve completed steps one through three, there are a ton of ways that you can start to monetize your followers…their followers and their followers followers. But also beware: Twitter spam is on the rise and people are becoming wary of anyone who just jumps into the pool and starts shouting Marco Polo at the top of their lungs. You have to be very careful to craft your Tweets so that people are still getting maximum value from you.

4 seemingly simple steps, and they’re not rocket science, but they do take some finesse and time to do properly. If you’d like to learn more about how to properly implement these 4 steps, I welcome you to join me and my Coup De Twitter system. It will teach you how to do Twitter the RIGHT way as well as 7 easy ways to make money with it plus a handful of advanced tactics as well.

Let’s face it…

Whether you’re male or female, gay, straight,
young, old, white black, or WHATEVER, there’s
an innate sense bred into all of us to gravitate
towards them…

Ever since we’re babies we need them,
like we need our mothers -

After all, humans are born completely
vulnerable…

So we need our parents to do, well,
pretty much everything for us…

And it’s a good thing they do.

So why am I writing about babies,
boobs, and parenting today?

I hope you don’t get offended, but
this is my point…

See, many of my followers are
total newborns or, as we say,
“newbies”…

All alone in the vast world of the
internet, vulnerable, and in need
of a lot of help and guidance.

I know, I know.

I just basically called you a baby.

And I’m sorry if that hurts…

But here’s how I’ll make it better:

==> Site Stealer 2

My friend Harris just released a
service that might as well be your
parent online…

He’ll set you up with 4 “grown up” websites,
install EVERYTHING – plus, he holds your
hand through the whole process…

Everything from making sales,
to customer support, affiliate systems
and way beyond…

He does all the tech necessary for a complete,
grown up style website – all you have to do is
sit back and watch it grow.

I don’t know about you, but that kind of
“parenting” is better than a lot of things,
(but not boobs).

Site Stealer 2 just went live, and yes
I have turned the tables this time and
stolen something from Sal… more on
that in a bit.

But first… if you have been watching
the videos I’ve been sending, you are
probably already on the edge of your
seat and ready to grab your copy.

Good, because you have to be fast -
they are only releasing 1,000 copies!

=> Site Stealer 2

But here’s a little recap… Site Stealer2
has put together actual technology so that
even the newest of newbies can have and run
their own online business.

* You get your own website complete with
hosting, shopping cart, affiliate tracking,
OTO ability, and a whole bunch more…

* 4 ready to sell products (full sites).
And each of them comes with 1 Year of
Pre-Written Emails, 6 articles for each
site, and OTOs

* Oh – and they’re INSTALLING it for you,
too!! Installing it?!?

=> Site Stealer 2

You will even get a copy of the original
Site Stealer – an amazing ebook and one
of my all time favorites.

But you better hurry. Harris and *Sal* are
only releasing 1000 copies since each install
comes with 4 pre-done sites and they want to
limit the competition at that level.

Considering the response they’ve had in
pre-launch…

They’re gonna sell out fast. I wouldn’t be
surprised at all if they sell out within 24
hours.

Don’t be left out in the cold, get em while
there fresh and hot off the presses.

=> Site Stealer 2

And now for the bit about me stealing from
Sal…

Of course these sites come with graphics,
and to get the best possible results you
probably want to change them slightly and
make them your own.

So my friend Soren Jordansen has twisted Sal’s arm and gotten him
to hand over all the templates. He has
already uploaded them to my new Instant
Banner Creator.

That means you can log in at ICB and easily
point and click your way to changing these
templates. Nobody else knows about this yet
so you will have a huge advantage over the
other SS2 members when you use the power of:

Have a great day,

Chad Van Norman

P.S. There’s a ton of people that are already
on the VIP pre-registration list so things
will sell out quickly – check out the page &
see if you’re going to be one of the select
few who changes their own life in 2009.

I’ve been telling you about Site Stealer 2 and the new videos Sal put up for you to go and find out about the secret that all the Big marketers know…but many people never find out.

–> http://sitestealer2.info

Here’s something else you should know. The guys he got on tape to talk about this secret make around 50 million dollars a year combined.

That’s a lot, right? But here’s the thing.

MOST of it comes from the very thing he reveals in the video.

Over 30 million dollars of the 50 to be exact.

That’s OVER half their income from using this secret alone!

And not only does he reveal what it *is* he’s going to show you how to use it in your OWN business in a way that nobody this side of the multi-million dollar producers has been able to…

And WAY cheaper than what these big guys had to spend to implement this strategy

All with Site Stealer 2.

–> http://sitestealer2.info

There are 2 videos up now. If you haven’t, go watch the first one and then put in your info in the box on the right to get instant access to the rest of the story.

If you watched the first one, great, you can put in your info and go straight to the second.

And get this, there’s MORE to come.

Think about it.

5 BIG IM companies…over HALF their income from what he’s going to share with you….
