This is a little something that I learnt from Derek Halpern over at Social Triggers, you should check out his blog, it’s one of my favourites blogs right now.
So Derek posted about something called Tweetables, I’ve put it into action on my blog and the results you won’t believe! It’s early days, but I think this is going to be HUGE!
Remember this blog has been live for less than 3 weeks at the time of posting this, and the stats you are seeing are for 2 weeks of using tweetables!
I implimented this one technique called tweetables and here is the proof it works..
What is a tweetable you ask?
This Is A Tweetable And It Will Make Your Blog Rock! – TWEET THIS
Here are a few reasons why Tweetables are awesome…
- It’s a call to action right where it needs to be, in the content!
- You can create the call to action message to encourage the click.
- The message for each Tweetable can be different rather than generic across your blog.
- You control the message that gets tweeted (and that doesn’t need to be exactly the same as #2).
- You can use trackable links so you know how many times it was clicked.
- You can get tons more traffic by using su.pr URL shortners, all is explained in the video!
Go ahead, click on TWEET THIS above and see what it does. If you’re a blogging, tweeting, marketing, social media ass kicking geek like me, you’ll love this.. if you’re not.. try it anyway! :)
This is a live tweet that was generated when Hazel from www.seo-plus.co.uk hit one of my Tweetables! Thanks Hazel! :)

Without further adue, if you do anything for the next 11 minutes and 49 seconds to grow your blog traffic, I suggest it’s watching this video…
Apologies for YouTube crushing the life out of my previously high quality video!
Please let me know what you think below in the comments. If you impliment this on your blog come back and post a link too! And go give Derek Halpern a shout on Twitter! www.twitter.com/derekhalpern
Nick, thanks for this. I’ve added it to one of my blogs: http://su.pr/8OBSih & I can’t wait to see how it performs.
Yey! I’m over the moon you implemented it, and perfectly too!!! Top job. I really hope you see results. Would love to follow up in few weeks and see how it’s performing.
Yeah, I have been seeing this a lot and wondering whether to implement it on my site. Can’t wait to see it work!
Go for it Naomi! Let me know how you get on. It’s started working quite nicely for me. The combination of the tweetable and the stumbleupon url shortener is also a double whammy for pageviews!
I keep signing in and activation email never arrives. :-(
Hi Carmen, have you checked your spam folder? It may have accidentally gone there. I’ve just checked and can see the confirmation email was sent out twice yesterday, they do have a habit of hitting spam folders every now and then though!
I added this to my post that went live Monday and already have more traffic than usual… Thanks Nick
Now that I love! Great stuff Hazel
