RETWEET CLUB: Twitter-Team

If you are an avid blogger, and love posting your new blog articles to Twitter, then this may be of interest to you.

Edit: IT IS FREE; all it costs is your time. It is a Google Group, open to everyone (but only the first 100 people), where we can all just help each other by re-posting our team members’ tweets (ReTweeting) so that our followers can read the blogs. You only RT what is of interest to you, or what might be interesting to your friends.

There is no doubt that Twitter is a great place to find free traffic.  Twitter has drastically changed the face of online marketing over the past two years, by connecting people of similar (and diverse) interests, who would otherwise never have been able to find each other.

Twitter has been a great place for me to meet other web designers, musicians, Christian business owners, and others who share my interests, and every once in a while, when I have an article that I believe is interesting or informative, I post it on my stream, and it instantly brings anywhere from 30 to 50 visitors.  If someone retweets my link, then the potential traffic grows.

Getting retweeted is one of the best ways to increase your traffic, and as long as you are retweeting ethically (meaning you only RT things of value, and that you have ACTUALLY read the content before RT’ing it), it’s a nice way to spread the love.

My brother @HeidelbergChad, a co-founder of the Team Rockstar Google Group (Facebook page here), told me about a Retweet Club idea that he read about on Daily Blog Tips. They allowed 100 members, and to join you must have 100 followers.  Members of the team can submit one link for retweeting per week, but they must retweet 75% of the team members’ links, in order to remain on the team. The first RT club filled up very quickly, so to fill the need for those who didn’t get in quickly enough the first time around, we decided to organize a second Retweet Club, called Twitter-Team.  We will operate under slightly different rules, though: 100 members will be allowed to join, but instead of one Tweet per week, you may submit as many as you want.  But you need to RT 5 links for each one that you submit. This will ensure that those who are submitting RT requests are RT’ing a proportionate number of other team member’s links.

Theoretically, you will not be doing any more work than if you were just retweeting your own link 5 times (not recommended anyways), but the results should be exponentially better.  If you have 100 followers, you might get 100 visits to your blog by yourself. But as a member of Twitter-Team, with 100 team members that have 100+ followers, you could get 10,000 hits to that same link.  Of course, many of our team members are going to have thousands of followers, but 100 is the bare minimum, so this is just an example.

The content of your blog cannot be MLM, get rich quick schemes, nor can you submit ClickBank hoplinks or other affiliate product sales pages.  But if you have a link that is informative, or entertaining, we will all help you out by passing it on to our followers. Twitter-Team will be 100% ethical, and doing anything spammy will get you banned. But as you have heard before, Together Everyone Achieves More.

As I get ready to publish this blog entry, the Twitter-Team Google Group is still completely open to anyone who wants to join (provided you have 100 followers on Twitter), but ALSO, anyone who joins has the rights to send invites to their friends and followers.  We will only allow 100 people to join, so if you are interested, now is the time.
