OK, here’s an experiment. I want to drum up some business for my e-book, Duct Tape SEO. Books don’t sell themselves, so I want to see if I can get the ball rolling with viral traffic.
I’m using the “Pay With a Tweet” button to get some social votes for my Duct Tape SEO page.
What do you get in return? A free report I just spent the last 72 hours on, called The Unfair Advantage.
What is The Unfair Advantage?
It’s a traffic generation strategy that fits in nicely with Duct Tape SEO – low on budget but high on impact.
It’s called ‘The Unfair Advantage’ for a reason, and I almost didn’t give this one away after I was done. I was really kicking myself for writing 54 pages when I only meant to go for 20 or so – then I wanted to sell it.
But I’m happy with the outcome – and if I’m giving away a free report, it should be premium-value content so I know I’m on the right track. Translation: I’ll take your Tweets as social currency, but I could have sold this book.
If you’d like to get it, help me out with a little social love for Duct Tape SEO, and it’s yours.
See the page I’ve created for the free book. It’s 54 pages of solid content, with internal bookmarks so you can navigate easily.

That Pay By Tweet made me nervous, but I did it anyway. Better be worth it.

I saw that on Twitter – thanks! What made you nervous? And I hope it’s worth it, but like most strategies, it’s something that if you already have your plan in place – I don’t expect a lot of people to change their stripes.
I’ve been surprised in the past in using it, how well it’s worked.
Looks like Pay to Tweet accesses your account to post the Tweet. I just didn’t care for that.

Ah! I see, you can disable the apps you give access to pretty easily. I’d tell you but I think I linked to it already in my “What the Twuck?” post.
No worries, that’s a legit concern. Didn’t strike me as cranky, I’m not that sensitive to moods (I think I was dropped too many times as a baby).

Yeah, yeah. I figured it out.
I’m still a bit cranky, sorry.
