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.
