Social Media Mania & A Chance to Win Viral Sign Up Generator

OK, we all know that Twitter is exploding thanks to some recent events with Ashton Kutcher and Oprah Winfrey… right???

There are also dozens of new Twitter tools popping up all over the place… and I have bought a lot of them. I have also refunded a couple that were just simply crap.

Well today I was approached by someone about a new product they wanted me to review, and to be honest I deny about 90% of them because the are usually just looking for a way to bypass paying for a review. Which is not a bad thing, but I only have so many hours in the day as it is and I need to focus on things that directly affect my bottom line. Its called running a business :)

Anyway… as you know… well you should know… the pastures here have a pretty cool contest going on with prizes in excess of $3000 and in the previous contest post I mentioned that each day we are going to have a surprise give away. Sooooo…. wait, should I ramble more or get to the point????

GET TO THE POINT COW!

OK, fine, be that way. The email was from the owner of a new product called Viral Sign Up Generator and what it does is combines your email opt in with your twitter follow.

You need to understand, if you think that Twitter is stupid, a fad or some other negative thing… you need to look in the mirror and say to the person looking back.. “What Are You An Idiot!”

Twitter is constantly bringing in 1% to 2% traffic from every message I send within the first 5 minutes. That means if at this moment there are 8000 followers, then as soon as I tweet a message I get anywhere between 80 and 160 visitors. You may think that does not sound like much, but that is consistent and giving me fantastic results. I want to remind you that all the $3000 in prizes was because I twittered 8 times (at different times and in different ways) that I needed sponsors…. hint, hint (did you catch that). In case you missed it, I twittered 8 different times (because some people work, some people sleep and some people live in other time zones) and I used different words every second message. I did not do this manually, but instead used the PRO version of Tweetlater.com which is very cool. It allows you to spin your text so it posts different variations.

Anyway, as for this tool that was brought to my attention… I immediately looked at it because this was on my list of things for my programmer to do. I have a Twitter tool that i use right now, that he is packaging up for me to offer others and after that i was going to have him create this exact tool. There are 2 huge things that are going to help your blog this year… increasing email subscribers and increasing twitter followers (I promise you)… and this tool helps with both.

It combines your auto responder service with twitter and packages it all together in a beautiful little package.

So just so you know, this is not a paid review… or a review for a friends product, this is me telling you that I like this tool!

I only have one complaint, the installation instructions were not as clear as i wished but i got on AIM with them and they totally agreed with everything I had to offer for advice. The installation is very easy, just do what I did not do and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE VIDEO.

So now you know I recommend this tool to you… but I also have some good news. I am giving away (I got permission from them) two FREE copies of this script to two of you. One winner is already selected, the second winner will be selected tomorrow based on who participates today.

So here are the very clear instructions.

IMPORTANT –> If you want to participate in this contest for a chance to win some of the $3000 in prizes, you need to first CLICK HERE and follow the original contest instructions. Once you have completed that, you can come back to this post and be qualified… but if you already have done that then you a good to go :)

    I still have no idea what URI means. Sorry

  12. Just when you think they’ve created all the Twitter apps possible, they come up with something cool like this.

  13. John Dempsey says:

    All mandatory and optional completed. I subscribed twice to the tweet/subscribe form because the update did not show up in twitter – maybe there’s a delay? Or some other bug?

  14. Bruce says:

    This looks interesting. I totally agree here. I did not really get twitter until a couple of weeks ago. It is very powerful for a networking tool and it just continues to grow. I hope I win as I’ve got one account that has hit the 2k mark and its getting harder to get new followers.

    I wrote about it at http://brucehopkins.net/web20/do-you-twitter.php

  17. Mike says:

    The email I received that brought me to this place stated that I would receive some software “FREE”

    Amazing new Twitter software that I am giving away for nothing…

    I’m still wondering where and when I’ll receive this software….

  18. Donna says:

    Wow all this social can get confusing can’t it? But it’s amazing how it all connects together. I’ve completed all the steps, sometimes still wonder if I’m doing it right, but I guess once you see the increase in traffic etc.. you know huh?

    PS thanks for the easy step by step explaination on how to sign up!

  19. LuAnn says:

    This is starting to look like hamster games.

    Less commenters so perhaps this is a bit too much even for the diehards.

  22. I think I did everything- hope to learn all of this:-)

  23. Irwin Revilo says:

    Looking forward to learning, growing, earning and winning!

    Looks like there might be some kind of error with the Viral Signup form? I’m using IE8 and it shows some html or php code above the form. I filled in the form and clicked submit and taken to a temporary page and then redirected back to here but no new tweet showed in my Twiiter page.

  30. I have completed all of the Mandatory Criteria #1, #3, and #3 plus optional Task to follow

  31. Linda says:

    OK, John…I did all the above, so let’s hope my luck hs changed and maybe I’ll actually win something! LOL! I’ve been using the free version of TweetLater, and it has been a HUGE timesaver. I signed on with Twitter more than 6 months ago, but only recentlystarted using it. It has been a real attention getter for my blog and things I affiliate for. Would love to have a program that would automate it more, but don’t have the funds. Someday! = )

  32. Everything’s accomplished….cant wait

  33. Jean_S says:

    This is the slickest promotion since Crisco!

    First, I received an RSS in an email account where I normally don’t send RSS notifications, so I thought “Maybe?”

    Then I followed these instructions to qualify:

    * Part 1: 4 required steps

    (I skipped Part 2: 4 optional but recommended steps)

    * 3 Mandatory Criteria and another option

    * Leaving a comment

    And though I detest jobs, I seem to be committed to a daily one to earn credits toward an opportunity for a prize.

    Still sliding around in the grease, I’m wondering, Have I frittered away more than $38 of my time for something that I could buy? And will I have to change my compromised twitter password?

    Whatever! It’s a lesson for the day. I’ll make it pay down the line, and that won’t be a random carrot;-)

    Now I’ll get back to Prayer for the Sick and the National Day of Prayer.
