There is an ever growing number of sites where you can submit your content to be rated by users. This can be an amazing way to generate traffic to your website. I created a new twitter account yesterday, and with in 24 hours was able to get over 500+ click-throughs on my links. Just think about that for a second. On just one social networking site where all you do is update your status, I was able to generate 500 targeted leads to my websites.
How Did I Drive Traffic Using Twitter?
I used another website called hootsuite to schedule posts to my twitter account ever 5 minutes, and then once an hour when I got tired of typing. I followed as many people with similar interests as I could, and I made my posts very intriguing and mysterious. I used a method called the Zeigarnik effect. I will tell you more about that in a minute, but first let me tell you a little bit more about myself.
I have been a Asheville web designer for the last 2 months, although I’ve been into web design for 11 years. I create stimulating graphics and animation that have helped my clients establish an online presence. I am always available for worth while projects. I am also a DJ/Producer and have been playing music all my life. I have pictures to prove it. I have many interests like marketing, the law of attraction, quantum physics, healthy living, spirituality, dancing, juggling, magic, art and travel, and I joy myself in being of service to others.
Now, back to the Zeigarnik effect. What I’m about to share with you is a very powerful marketing technique, and should always be used for good not evil. With that said, here is what Wikipedia has to say about the Zeigarnik effect:
“In psychology, the Zeigarnik effect states that people remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks.
Soviet psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik first studied the phenomenon after her professor, Gestalt psychologist Kurt Lewin, noticed that a waiter had better recollections of still unpaid orders.
In Gestalt psychology, the Zeigarnik effect has been used to demonstrate the general presence of Gestalt phenomena: not just appearing as perceptual effects, but also present in cognition.
The Zeigarnik effect suggests that students who suspend their study, during which they do unrelated activities (such as studying unrelated subjects or playing games), will remember material better than students who complete study sessions without a break.”
So, that’s what I did. I would write awesome little one-liners that made people have to click on my links just to find out what I was talking about. You can use these same techniques to explode your downline if you’re into home based business opportunities. I usually try to stay away from them, but this one really grabbed my attention. I really think this is a great idea, and something that could really make you a lot of money if you work just a few hours a day. Even just a few minutes. Click here to see what I mean…
To your success!!!
