How would you like people to spread the word about your blog posts to thousands, if not millions of people on Twitter? All of this, of course, is without you needing to do ANYTHING except installing a simple little WordPress plugin called Tweetmeme.
Check out the out the light green image on the left side of this post, that’s all it is! You may have seen it on other blogs and thought they had to pay for it and write some crazy code to post it. Luckily, you could get up and running in seconds like I did.
Watch this quick video tutorial I created for you to get started right now…
This is the epitome of going viral online… it’s the best thing you could do for your blog right now!
So if you enjoyed this post and thought that it was helpful, please feel free to retweet it by using the button on top!
Also, I always love reading and responding to your comments below.

Thanks for the video. People love Twitter very much these days hopefully your video can help people who own blog with WP.
Hey Syed,
Thanks for checking out the video.
It’s definitely something that everyone should be using on their WP blogs. I was excited to find out that it was so simple to setup, so I figured others would like to know, as well!
Talk soon,
Joe
Hi Joe,
I installed this plugin a short while ago, I’ve had a few retweets resulting from it so far… I just need to figure out a way to get more retweets of my blog posts now.
I think I’m writing good enough retweetable content, maybe people just can’t be bothered?…
The tweetmeme plugin is great though, the best of it’s kind I think.
Also don’t think I’ve forgotten to leave feedback on your twitter videos, I’ve just not had the time to watch them yet… When I watch them I’ll be back with some feedback.
See you soon,
Paul.

Hey Paul,
I agree with getting people to actually retweet your posts. That is the difficult part. Man, if I knew how to solve that problem, the first thing I’d do is make a video about it and show everyone out there!
I know it works for some sites because of the amount of retweets on their buttons. So we might as well keep it up there until our readers feel like we’re “retweetable”!
Also, take as long as you want to watch those videos. I’m not pulling my hair out over here to hear your feedback… but I might soon!
Talk to you soon buddy,
Joe
Joe
Great post detailing a much underused valuable plug-in. I installed it a while ago and have had a handful of retweets and some traffic back from Twitter so the evidence is there that it works. As you guys say, just need to become more ‘retweetable’ now…
All the best

Hey Tom,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving some feed back!
You’re right, the Tweetmeme plugin is the easy part, now we need to learn how to write retweetable content. But I’m sure that the majority of it is getting more traffic to our blogs, too.
Either way, we’ll get there and our blogs will virally take off!
Talk soon,

Hey Marcus! It was awesome talking to you the other day, my man. We’ll definitely get on Skype sometime soon for a REAL chat!
Yeah man, this blog will always be a work in progress, but it’s fun! The ranking is fun to watch, especially when you don’t expect it to drop so fast.
I’ll have to do a similar post on my blog to keep track of where I’m at, too.
Talk to you soon buddy,
Joe
Hey Joe,
That was really weird, I was actually reading your post as your email came through pointing to this post…strange…
Anyway, great post…I’ll definitely be installing this, it looks like a pretty powerful little widget
Take care

Hey Paul,
I must have the power to channel people to my blog whenever I want… woohoo!!
Thanks for checking it out, though. I never knew what this widget was until I really searched hard for it, so I thought guys like you would love to know how to set it up!
I’ll start retweeting your posts once you have it up and going.
See ya Paul,
Joe
Hey Joe,
I have just installed this, it’s a really cool little plugin!
I would definitely recommend everyone installs this, as all the tracking behind this is really good
Anyway, talk soon,

Hi joe thanks for sharing

youve done a great job on the video and by the way your blog is how a succesful online marketers blog should look, smooth and elegant with good content.
cheers mick
Hye Mick!
Thanks for stopping by, man. I really appreciate it!
This little plugin will really pay off once I get more traffic to my blog. That’s where the real viralness will begin, but we have to get it on our blog sometime.
And thanks a bunch for the complements on my blog’s layout. I almost feel that I spend too much time trying to make things look exactly how I want them to, but in the end, I’ve received numerous comments like yours. It makes it all worth it!
Take care my friend!
Joe
Hey Joe!
Thanks for the info. I have been wondering what that green retweet button was on other blogs and didn’t know where to get it. I think I am gonna try it.
Thanks alot
Jim
Hey Jim!
You’re very welcome.
It was always a mystery to me as to how to get my hands on this button, too. Luckily I found it with all of my digging and searching online, so I just wanted to spread the knowledge on to guys like you!
Once we both get some really decent traffic to our blogs we’ll watch this retweet button take off. I’ll get to your blog to start retweeting your posts soon!
Take care buddy,
Joe
Hey Joe!
Awesome how to video. Its been awhile since I have been on your blog, I like your upgrades. I have been busy creating some websites with my own product. My next step is outsourcing. Have you used outsourcing for any projects yet? If so, I would love your experience which you can list on my recent post. Thanks..
To our success…
Richard
Hey Richard!
I has been a while, man. It’s great to hear that you’ve been working on getting a product up and running. I’ve also been working on something of my own. Unfortunately it has been a slow work in progress, but it’s nearing completion.
As for the outsourcing, it’s a topic that I’ve been extremely interested in and have outsourced one project to date. I’ll cruise on over to your blog post now to leave a comment explaining what I’ve done!
Talk soon.
Joe
Joe Fier´s last blog ..Go VIRAL! Learn to Retweet Your Blog Posts
Well Joe
I have only just found your blog on the internet and at the same time I have found a top quality information source I love this post about retweeting your blog as I know it is a great source of blog traffic.
I certainly hope to learn more again from you
Mark McCulloch
Hi Mark,
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some feedback!
You’re exactly right, if you could get some people to tweet your blogs and product pages for you, you just hit the jackpot. Less work is involved because you have others doing the work for you.
It all comes down to giving some great value to your readers if you want to make it viral. I haven’t got the viral part completely down, but it’ll come with practice.
I hope you see you come back very soon so I could hear more of what you think. Take care, Mark.
Joe
Hey Joe,
Thanks for the video.
I’ve got a tweet my post plugin on my blog, but even though I get lots of really positive comments to my posts, I don’t get any retweets of them.
I even asked for them on my last post?
Anyway, I’m tweeting this one.
Cheers Joe,
Andrew.

Hey Andrew,
Thanks for the retweet and leaving a comment!
I have noticed that it is the most difficult part of this whole thing. I’m sure it will get easier over time when we get more people coming to our blogs, but for now it’s a good thing to have in place.
Maybe one day we’ll figure out the “retweet formula”!
Talk to you soon.
Joe
Joe:
Great reminder to leverage twitter by tweeting or re-tweeting! I had not used twitter until very recently and have been getting some decent traffic on my profile link. I’ll check back for more tips later, too.
Best regards,

Matt Wolfe´s last blog ..What Are Your List Building Questions?
It’s a quick 30 second add-on… so you gotta do it!
Just for doing it today, I just might re-tweet a post of yours of my choosing! How about that for a deal?
Joe
Hey Joe,
Great video on Tweetmeme plugin. I installed it a little while ago and I too have had only a few retweets. Until someone comes up with an idea on how we can make our posts more tweetable there is one way of doing it.
I am starting this process now.
I retweeted this post and every time I visit my usual blogs from Alex’ students and Dean Holland’s students I’m going to retweet the post I’m commenting on using the Tweetmeme button. If we all start this now we will all start to get more retweets.
By doing this if you get someone outside this group reading your post and they see that 10 people have already retweeted it they are more likely to retweet it themselves than if there were none to begin with.
So there, let it be said. I am now starting a retweeting crusade.
Later,
Jeff Sargent
Jeff Sargent´s last blog ..Awarding One Way Backlinks For Blog Comments
Jeff,
I love that idea man!
It’s really similar to what we have been doing for commenting on blogs for AJ students, so it’d only make sense to start re-tweeting everything and spread the word even more. I mean, it only takes an extra ten seconds, tops!
We should let others know about this in the AJ course. If you haven’t mentioned it on the forum yet, I’ll post a new thread to get more people on board.
On with the re-tweeting crusade!
Thanks!

Blog’s looking mighty fine. For me I’m having a tough time getting my head around Twitter. But I understand the re-tweeting concept.
So thanks for the info about how Viral can help.

A great plugin, I have had a couple of retweets from it although it’s not many I checked out one of the guys that did and he had thousands of followers.
Another very good instruction video too.

Dear Joe-
You are sort of my Twitter coach, or at least you got me started in the right direction. I have changed some of the tools I am using, but your information helped me get a head start on understanding the Twitter thingy.
Just wanted to let you know.
Hey JOE,
Thanks for this post. I don’t use Twitter like I should so I thought your tutorial would help. I installed the tweetmeme on my blog and I will see how it goes.
Thanks again?
P.S. now if you have a way I could use a WP Date Button that would be awesome too. My current WP template doesn’t post the date.
KiHo´s last blog ..Work In Progress
Hey KiHo,
I hope you start going viral with your tweets. Twitter could definitely be beneficial if utilized properly. Just make sure that you’re starting conversations with people and that you don’t come across spammy if you’re trying to sell stuff.
Also, I haven’t heard of the WP Date Button. My theme has the date built in, so I have never thought about it. If I run across it, I might just do a tutorial about it!
Take care,
Joe
Hi Joe,
Really appreciate the retweet heads up. Just got it installed. Thank you so much.

Hey Joe,
Just flopping around on a Saturday night looking at other MWA blogs and stumbled upon yours. Very nice.
I appreciate the swap the other day, let me know where we stand and we’ll even her out in a few weeks.
Your WP Theme is very nice and really easy to read. I am still working out the bugs on mine.
Too many thoughts and not enough room! LOL.
Well my friend, feel free to stop on by. By the way, where the heck is the pug in? It is not showing for me.
Maybe there is a problem with it?
Let me know before I install the plug in.
Look forward to working with you down the road.
Douglas J Gregory
Hey Doug,
Thanks for the cool comment about the blog style… it’s still a work in progress, but it’s coming along!
I’m trying to work in the plugin right now, so it should be popping up on here soon. It should still be available for you if you search ‘tweetmeme’ in the plugins for WordPress.
Talk soon man,
Joe
