When you share a link on Twitter, display a bar on top of it to promote you own content

Tools to do it : Headsha.re : http://www.headsha.re/

TrafficJacker : https://gumroad.com/l/trafficjacker

Snip.ly : http://snip.ly/

TIPS : It must be discrete (but with a visible call to action)

Users should be able to close it easily

#1 Hijack the trafic

#2 Use lists to boost your followers

Add people to interesting lists in mass to catch their interest as they will receive a

notification and gain followers

Tools to do it : TacticsCloud : https://tacticscloud.com/

TIPS : Never add people to lists they wouldn’t want to be in

Don’t add people to more than one list at a time. Remove duplicates

If your list has more than 5000 accounts, export and split with Excel

Once exported to Twitter, change the description by default exported from @tacticscloud on March 21st, 2014”

Avoid doing agressive advertising, prefer a real description

#2 Use lists to boost your followers

#3 Auto-Favorite tweets

Favorite tweets with interesting keywords. People will receive a notification and a mail

from twitter. and eventually follow you.

« growth hacking ») : be smart witrh your keywords!
