Writing Eye-Catching, Interesting Tweets

Twitter won't do you much good if no one bothers to click your links. Writing eye-catching, interesting tweets involves the same general concept as writing strong e-mail headlines. You must pique their interest and make them curious to see what you have to offer.

Ask a provocative question. “Will Obama's new tax reforms bring your small business to it's knees?”

Write a headline that sounds like news. “New Twitter software revolutionizes social networking!”

Blunt, direct statements. “Free CPA Short Report – No Optin Required”

Lists. “Ten Reasons Why You Need To Trash Your Iphone”

How-to tweets. “How to get 1000 visitors to your blog – overnight!”

As you can see, it's not really rocket science. Just be creative. Instead of tweeting, “New SEO Ebook released today! Get it now!”, think of all the different ways you could say roughly the same thing in a more interesting fashion.

“Revolutionary New SEO System Kicks Google's Ass!”

“How much would you pay to kick Google's ass?”

“What if I told you that everything you know about Google – IS WRONG?”

“Tired of crap? Get the system that ACTUALLY WORKS.”

“10 Reasons Why Your Website Isn't Ranking – And How To Fix It”

You get the idea.

If you're using bit.ly to shorten your URLs, you can actually track your links. This way, you can find out which headline is bringing in the most clicks, and replicate it again and again.

Of course, as I mentioned before, these “eye-catching” headline tweets should only be tossed in here and there. Keep the majority of your tweets free of advertising altogether, or people will quickly become fed up with your blatant, desperate marketing attempts.

Neil, I don't understand when you say that you can only follow 200 people a day but it shows following over 700. Does it mean that you are limited to get tweets from 200 different people?

It means that you can only actively follow 200 people a day and not the amount of followers you have.

What I think I will do next time is create using Libre Office and upload to Google Docs. Then I will have copy online and on on PC.

Hey Neil,

Great tutorials buddy! What I would suggest though is that you label your pages appropriately as this will make them searchable and make your training much easier to navigate based on "concept". Just a small update will offer a radical improvement for those going through your training.

Nice work!

Thank you Kyle, I wasn't sure what to, hence I just labelled the pagees as 1, 2 and so on. Will make the necessary changes. Wasn't too bad for my first one, only took 4 hours to do though as I had to remove all the garbage that MS Word leaves behind.

Yeah, the best thing to do is to use Google docs or to create your content right within the training creator (sometimes nice to have a back-up though).

Anyways, great tutorial and I know this is going to be very helpful to all of the "to be" tweeters out there. ;)
