The Power of Twitter
I seem to be getting asked the same question a lot in the past few weeks by clients, friends, and just people in general who want to pick my brain. Everyone I run into wants to know why Twitter is useful and if it is worth their time.
The truth is that Twitter is very powerful if done properly. Just recently over the Thanksgiving holiday I was part of a project called TweetsGiving which was a 2 day campaign by Epic Change to raise $10,000 for a school in Tanzania as well as get people to share and realize how much we as a whole have to be thankful for this year. The site entire campaign specifically targeted Twitter as it’s primary marketing point.
Within the first 3 hours the site had already hit the 25% mark to the fund raising goal, and after 47 hours the goal was completely met. Although there was some word of mouth and the site did get a very good number of mentions on blogs and news sites, had it not been for the use of Twitter I do not think this would have been as successful.
What 5 pages should every website have?
Recently on LinkedIn the question was asked: “What 5 pages should every website have?
From “mom-n-pop” brochure sites to fortune 500 companies, what are 5 pages any website needs to have?
I decided I would share my answer here since the question of content is something I often here asked. It seems everyone wants to know what they should have, need to have and can do without on their site. Before I share the answer though I want to make it very clear that in general every site may have a few key elements they do not always need to be pages and the level of how much you need each element will vary greatly from person to person.
TweetsGiving Campaign
Web site design and build done for TweetsGiving [tweetsgiving.org]
TweetsGiving was a fun project I am really happy to have been involved in. The idea was to create a Thanksgiving campaign to raise $10,000 in 48 hours using Twitter as the primary marketing and promotion tool for the site.
Showing just how strong Twitter really is the site had more than 25% of its goal within the first 4 hours and had reached its goal with just over an hour to spare finally ending just over the goal at 108%. The site is still active and accepting donations, so if you want to get involved please join in.
