How to Get Lots of Retweets: Pro Twitter Secret #37
I remember a conference where a Harvard Business School professor spoke. He asked, "If you're going to sell a bible, who'd you rather sell it to? Someone with or without one?"
Most of us in the audience said, "without."
"How would you sell a bible to a non-christian?!" he glared back at us.
"If you're going to sell a bible, who'd you rather sell it to? Someone with or without one?"
"I'd have a much better chance of selling a bible to the fanatic who already has ten of em!"
He was right. There are two kinds of Twitter uers who follow you.
1) Christians and ... oh, wait... People who RT
and
2) People who don't.
In otherwords, there's really no sense asking people who never RT to Retweet a post for you. Is there?
So what I do is make a list of all the people who DO retweet. Then I use an @message asking them to RT me again. AFTER I've RT'd them or Follow Friday recommended them. NEXT: Top 10 Twitter Facebook and Google Viral Marketing Secrets
