Jeff also has over 41,000 Twitter followers and is listed almost 2,000 times. On top of that his blog is ranked 78 in AdAge\u2019s Power 150 and was among the 10 finalists of top social media blogs 2010 of Social Media Examiner. By the way: if you want inspiration on titles that will attract tons of traffic, as mentioned in the previous tip: just analyze how Social Media Examiner does it. The Twitter secret many people like Jeff use? Keep retweeting your posts forever! Add some fresh content to your tweets now and then, converse a little bit and (re)tweet some others but slip in links to your posts constantly. Especially focus on old ones that didn\u2019t get much retweets yet.<\/em><a title=\"How to Turbo-Boost Your Facebook Page With Apps\" href=\"http:\/\/www.socialmediaexaminer.com\/how-to-turbo-boost-your-facebook-page-with-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>How to Turbo-Boost Your Facebook Page With Apps<\/em><\/a><em>\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Do not write blog posts that are insightful, are critical or express your personality or genuine opinions. Repeat what others write about and just add a bit. Go for titles such as \u201cSix killer ways to boost your blog traffic and revenue via social media\u201d, \u201cThe 15 best free social media monitoring tools\u201d, \u201cSucceeding on Facebook in 3 days\u201d or \u201cThe 399 infographics every marketer should know\u201d. Many people adore fast food. So serve it. Never use titles such as \u201cAn in-depth analysis of the psychological dimensions of online influence from a holistic perspective\u201d.\u00a0 Tip lists and \u201chow to\u2019s\u201d work good as well. Like \u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Use Twitter as a direct marketing channel for blog post traffic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Forget conversations, interactions, community and all that crap. Follow the example of Jeff Bullas\u00a0 He \u2013 and many others, Jeff is just a successful example &#8211; has an approach that works very well. Want proof? Check out<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Use exaggerated words in your blog post titles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use words such as \u201ckiller\u201d, \u201cboost\u201d, \u201crevenue\u201d, \u201cgreat\u201d, \u201csuccess\u201d, \u201csecret\u201d etc. in your titles. Even if your blog post isn\u2019t really delivering what the title promises: don\u2019t worry too much. Just try to provide some value now and then so that it doesn\u2019t get too obvious. This technique, together with earlier mentioned title tips, also works well on Twitter. The reason? A majority of Twitter users just retweet tons of stuff they have never even read. Again: success guaranteed! You can also use the opposite technique: instead of using \u201cpositive\u201d words such as \u201cboost\u201d (everyone wants to boost, right?) you can also tap into people\u2019s fears and concerns. \u201cIs your business at risk\u2026\u201d, \u201cHow not to miss the blahblah\u201d and so on. For the real specialist: exaggerate your exaggerated words. Don\u2019t say \u201cboost\u201d but \u201cturbo-boost\u201d like in \u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Focus more on quantity than on quality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Create a huge amount of posts. The attention span of people online is short so do not write long posts as I do. Just search for YouTube videos, slideshare presentations or infographics and add four lines of comment to it. This way you can create a bunch of posts without wasting valuable time on reading, thinking and writing! If you create a list with tips do not explain everything in depth. Just list the tips and add a few short lines to it. Many people love these posts. That, breaking news and now and then a made-up story is what made most huge traffic (group) blogs what they are today: huge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Never think like a journalist but always like a publisher<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do: never ever check your facts when you write a post and certainly not if you go for the breaking news approach. Base yourself on a tweet or a story you read (check Google News , Google Blog Search, Mashable, TechCrunch and the likes like a maniac). Just write briefly about what you have read and do not bother checking if the sources of these sources are correct. You will now and then make mistakes if the story seems not true or exaggerated afterwards but that doesn\u2019t matter: the only thing that matters is traffic. So think like a publisher: go for sensation and controversy. What you want are eyeballs and impressions. Also let people click several times before they can actually read your story. Most blog ad platforms simply look at traffic to determine pricing of your advertising inventory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Boost your Twitter followers number in a fast and cheap way<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People say that it\u2019s not the quantity of Twitter followers that matters. That\u2019s true for them because they are boring and serious marketers that focus on quality, relevance and real influence. Forget what they say and play the Twitter game. Invest some money in Twitter follower programs but not too much. Watch your following\/followers ratio. Follow as many people as you can. Regularly check those that don\u2019t follow you back and just unfollow them. It doesn\u2019t matter who they are. This way you will rapidly have ten thousands of followers. Also tweet and retweet a lot of stuff in your area of blogging. Do not waste time on reading any of it. Just tweet and retweet. Focus on those with a lot of followers that retweet you. Forget the losers with 120 followers. When you gain social media maven status (people do check your number of followers) start unfollowing and follow fellow mavens. This will strengthen your maven status in the perception of others. If this sounds to difficult, just find a solution or service that does it for you. I know one that guarantees 100,000 followers for a few hundred bucks and some patience.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m a bit on a roll here and could give you many more tricks but it\u2019s getting late where I live so that\u2019s it for now. Could go on about creating a gazillion of social personas on all possible bookmarking and other social accounts, black hat SEO techniques and much more but that might be for later.<\/p>\n<p>So maybe tomorrow: \u201c99 super- booster killer secrets to get rich with your blog in two weeks\u201d. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although it might also be \u201cAn in-depth analysis of the psychological dimensions of online influence from a holistic perspective\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 concrete maar soms cynische tips om je social traffic te verhogen.
