A Powerful Viral Twitter Marketing Tip
by Tim · Filed Under: Blogging · Network Marketing · Profit · Social Media Marketing
I wanted to give you a little Twitter marketing tip today. But before I get to that, if your not using Twitter, get on this thing as fast as you can because it is becoming a great business tool and I would hate for you to be left behind.
So what is this powerful new viral Twitter marketing tip? It’s very simple to use and you don’t have to be a computer “geek” or programmer to get it working for you. This is something you can implement immediately and if you can follow some simple directions, your good.
First, create some text at the bottom of whatever you are promoting that says something like, Tweet this post…Your followers will thank you! Or Tweet this video….Your followers will thank you! Be creative. This will work with just about anything. Now highlight the text you just wrote and create a hyperlink for it. Your hyperlink will look like this=>
http://twitter.com/home?status=
After the equal sign you want to put what you want the tweet to say when someone clicks on your text link. You see, when someone clicks on your text/hyperlink it will open up Twitter, they will sign into their account and whatever you put after the equal sign will show up in their update box automatically and they just have to hit update and presto, it’s in the Twitter stream.
So you could put this under a post on your blog or a video and when someone clicks to “tweet” it, it not only could become viral and create a ton of free traffic, you could also create some followers on Twitter.
P.S. To see how this works, go ahead and click on the banner below, log into your Twitter account and watch what happens.
P.P.S Now that I’ve shared this gem with you, leave a comment and let me know what you think and how this could help your business. Or, if you are already using this, let me know how it has helped your business out.
Learn, Laugh, Profit and Give,

Hi Tim. I actually figured out this much from an example of what someone else did. Now I’d like to add a link of this sort to the product description page of every product in my database. This means in order to accomplish the above I’d like to add a query string that pulls the product name and the url into the tweet. While I was a SQL Server DBA, sadly I don’t know anything about the particular syntax of writing query strings in asp (I’m assuming this is how this is accomplished). If you have any ideas for me I would be deeply appreciative.
Hi Jessica and thanks for the comment. I’m glad to see you figured out how simple this tool is to create and use, but unfortunately I’m not a programmer and don’t understand coding at all. SQL Server, syntax, query strings, this is language over my head:) I would suggest having a programmer look at this for you. You could probably get this done pretty cheap. Some services where you could bid your project and hire a programmer would be scriptlance.com, guru.com or elance.com. I have used scriptlance.com for creating my logos and have had good luck with them. After you have this created you could possibly make the script into a product to sell. There may be others out there looking for the same thing. Hope this helps and good luck.
