Viral Tweets is a free application that sends a Tweet to Twitter from your website by a visitor. It does this from a simple form on your website.

Here is a screenshot:

Basically what it allows you to do is setup a form very similar to this one on your website. You add a headline of your offer at the top and then a short (140 character) message in the Tweet box promoting your offer. Then when a visitor visits your website, sees your offer and wants it, all they have to do is fill in their Twitter username and password and click “Tweet Now!”

Once the Tweet is sent to their list of followers (telling them of your special offer – Very Cool!) the page will redirect to the second page, were they will fill in your optin form, allowing you to add them to your list and then sending them your Free Offer.

The application is called Viral Tweets and it’s free. You can get your copy here.

I know the title of this post is a little confusing, but I wanted it to be.

I must admit that I am a complete novice when it comes to Twitter. I couldn’t understand why so many Internet marketers were trying to get me to follow them. Why would I follow them, I hardly even now how to use Twitter, so “following them was a complete waste of my time.

Thats was until Iread this article How to Use Twitter to Grow Your Business. I came across it yesterday and it actually made sense to me. So first thingthis morning I went to Twitter and got myself an account.

After reading afew articles on how to make the most of Twitter as a pro-blogger, I registered the name wordpressprofit. Fitting isn’t it? I haven’t got many followers yet and apparently the trick to generating a profitable Twitt is to be very particualr who you follow.

In another article I read this morning (sorry I can’t remember were i read it) it suggested that you keep your followers at a ratio of 2.1. Two being “followed” and the one being “following”. I guess it will make sense to me at some stage.

You can follow me if you like. Come on I promise I won’t bite you and you will get some great feedback as I blog about my successes. Click the image in the header of this site and then click “follow”. I cant promise I will follow back (remember the 2 to 1 ration)?

It’s rather exciting! I have been very successful in the old hat ways of marketing my online business, but this Old Dog can learn new tricks and Twitter and tweets will be another tool in my blogging arsenal.

Watch this space!

UPDATE:
Next day and I have nearly 10 followers.
