The Twitter-Monster is hungry. Let’s Feed It!

Twitter is a Monster of a Promotion Tool – Let’s Try an Experiment…

Over the past two weeks, I’ve learned a lot about maximizing twitter. Before, I didn’t know the point of Twitter, now because of Twitter, I’m getting steady traffic around 800-1000 hits per day. (Not too shabby after 15 days, being back up and live, and having roughly 30 blog posts so far.)

On top of the subscribers, the diggs, and the traffic – I’ve also met some wonderful people, found some interesting blogs, had some interesting conversations, and increased the conversation at my site. I’ve gotten a total of 88 comments on this blog, since March 17th.

March 17th was also the day my traffic began going up, up and away.

The next experiment is actually a Twitter Meme.

Goal: For each participant to receive the following:

1. More followers on Twitter.
2. More RSS Subscribers.

How this works:

1. Subscriber to my Feed. Via RSS, or Via Email.
2. Follow me on Twitter:  PatrickCurl
3. Put a comment stating that you subscribed & Followed. In your comment – provide your RSS FEED link, and your Twitter Profile Link.
4. Please follow / subscribe to those who have commented before you. If you like, you can come back regularly and subscribe to the new people on the list, it is highly recommended, but not mandatory.
5. Send this link out via Twitter, and See if we can’t get 100 subscribers / followers per person listed. (Here’s the tinyurl to make it easier: http://tinyurl.com/37k65m )
6. We would also ask that each person who joins this movement – write a quick blog post about it – and link to this post (as this is where all the subscription / follow links will be.)
7. You can also send out the blog link that you just wrote to Twitter, as well for added exposure.

As you can see this is a great way to promote your blog – but it is also an experiment, I’m excited to see the kind of momentum we can build on Twitter.

Other things you can do is stumble this post, digg it, sphinn it, favorite on delicious, etc…
