What a Difference A Tweet Makes
We all know Twitter is an awesome marketing tool for our blogs. There’s lots of plug-ins that work well with Twitter, and help our readers stay on top of what we’re posting. Although it will never quite take the place of a good ol’ email marketing plan, Twitter is extremely useful.
While I was a good girl and put Tweet Meme tags on Idea Queen (you know, those little green boxes on posts that show how many tweets the post has, and allows you to retweet with on click), I never really thought they’d do all THAT much aside from give a handful of people an easier way to tweet some posts they liked. That was until today.
Since adding the subscription pop up to Idea Queen, I’ve gone from an average of 20 subscribers to the email notification list (if that) to over 100 a month. But then over the weekend, one little bitty post that I didn’t think much of got retweeted by a visitor, and I found myself with over 40 new subscribers in one day. Less than 24 hours in fact since that post was tweeted. Absolutely amazing really.
What has me excited the most is knowing while this won’t happen all the time, it’s bound to happen again. Just adding on little plug in on WordPress (search TweetMeme if you’re looking for it) brought 50 subscribers I wouldn’t have otherwise, and many more in the future I’m sure.
So if you haven’t added it already, be sure to do so!
Your fellow WAHM in success,

Hi Kara! This is great, a lot of good points been made. Knowing that kind of information would certainly make me want to have that button installed on my blog as well. I just wonder how well this application can bring me in more subscribers. Thanks for the post.
