Twitter Rocks! One man, one tweet, 55,000 new opt-ins



If you don’t know what Twitter is yet, Google it. It may be the single most innovative and powerful web 2.0 medium ever.

Check out this story of this internet marketer and product developed. This is an awesome example of how powerful Twitter can and how it can be leveraged to help you drum up business. This is crazy and almost unbelievable.

A few months ago, Brad Callen released a new tool called PPC Web Spy.
 
This is a really cool tool that allows you to save a ton of time in your keyword research and be able to sneak a peak at what is working for others. There is a free version and you can see it here ppc web spy

Alright, that ADD is biting me in the butt again. Back to the Twitter story. Before they released the tool publicly Brad posted a very
simple demo video showing what the tool does onto his Twitter
profile page. That allowed those who were following him to see what Brad had ben working on the last few months.
 
The video wasn’t anything special just a quick gig about what the tool did and it showed how excited Brad was about it. There was no mention of the URL of the site where you could get the tool…it really was not ready to be sold. Brad shows that at that time he had roughly 1500 twitter buds. 1500 followers.
 
So here is what happened, some of his 1,500 followers watched the video and some of them re-tweeted the message with the link to the video on there own pages (kind of like forwarding an email), that allowed there followers to go see the video, from there people started googling the name of the tool. (Exactly what I did) Then hitting his website.

This viral action continued for awhile and it continued to grow and grow creating a huge buzz on twitter and forums all over the place. Brad was able to build and opt-in list of over 55,000 people in the span of a few weeks. WOW!

Yes, that’s right, 55,000 people signed up and downloaded a free
copy of PPC Web Spy! These are 55,000 people that Brad now has the opportunity to build long term relationships with for many years to come.

That is crazy. Where else can you find and utilize a free medium to build a potential partner list of 55,000 targeted, interested people in 2 weeks? The other amazing thing about this is…. yep it is one tweet….meaning 140 characters or less.

So there you have it: One man. One Tweet, 55,000 opt-ins.
