A Brilliant simple Twitter viral marketing trick!
Very short post, but really very cool and worth thinking about how you can use it.
I just stole this from Frank Kern, legendary Internet marketer (who you should check out if you don’t know him), but he in turn nicked it from Mike Filsaime – check him out too.
It’s just a little bit of html code and maybe you could’ve worked this out or maybe it’s already well known, but I haven’t seen this before.
Basically, what you do is create a hyperlink, ready to go with a Twitter retweet already embedded in it. Here’s mine: Please Retweet This.
And here’s the code http://twitter.com/home?status=XXXXXXXXX, where everything after the ‘=’ sign is the pre-filled message that you want your followers to retweet.
As a band, this would be something like a request to check out a MySpace link, or come to a show, or vote online or whatever you want your followers to get their followers to do. If you put a link in your tweet that brings people back to the original hyperlink, then you get a continuously re-promoting tweet.
Think about it. It’s very powerful.
By the way, click on it and then retweet please.
Thanks!

Tip* to deliver updated content everyday on twitter, you can utilize a news aggregator or RSS feed, you can as well post at predetermined times during the day. The max. tweets you should post per day must be between 2 and 4. more than 5 tweets is overkill.
