I’m just going to give you the words of the ProBlogger himself, Darren Rowse. Remember, Darren makes his living helping readers understand how to blog professionally, drive traffic, spread ideas and generate revenues. After the runaway success (1423 comments) of his “pitch your blog in 140 characters” meme on Twitter this weekend, he wrote:
Twitter is Amazing
I put the success for this project largely down to Twitter. As I posted my invitation on ProBlogger I also Tweeted an invitation for my Twitter followers to get in early and pitch their blog. This tweet was retweeted time and time again by readers. I didn’t expect this wildfire of tweets (in fact people retweeted the retweets of others) and lost count at the number of people who ’sneezed’ my post throughout the Twittersphere. When we hit the 1000 submissions mark I tweeted about it and again the tweet was retweeted many times. An hour before closing it I tweeted and again it was retweeted many times over.
I’ve experienced things going viral online before but this one was explosive. Over 1000 of the submissions came in the first 20 hours – not bad for a weekend.
Oh, and our pitch? Easy.
