They are a great tool if you want something to seem more personalized. Something that is coming from you. And it is probably a better sales tool than your standard squeeze(landing) page.

I started looking at this because of an email I got from many of the mass newsletters I receive for internet marketing. So I did a little research on this and found this blog post on how to create your own video optin page.

The great thing about this is that all of the tools you really need are either free or already on your computer. You could even use WordPress.

Build your email list. Sell your product. Create traffic.

Twitter is one of the fastest growing communities on the web today. There is still plenty of time to take advantage of this emerging market.

An example of this has shown up with TweeterGetter. A great tool to expand the number of followers to your tweets and possibly your website. The more people following, the more targets you have for your product.

TweeterGetter has a unique method of growing your follower base. And is a great example of internet inovation.

The concept is simple, when you retweet the message in the form below, you will automatically start following the 6 people in front of you in the system.

A message posted on your twitter will automatically be formated with your unique link. Meaning that when people follow through to this site, they will have to follow you in position 1 to use the system themselves.

Now when those people refer others via their link, their new followers will also follow you in position 2 and so on down 5 levels deep. By the time you reach the 5th position, you will have thousands, if not tens of thousands of new twitter followers… and it NEVER stops growing!

All of this with a simple site run with the Twitter API.

If you are looking for a version of this site that you can run personally, you can either create something on your own(it is very simple) or you can download some software from ViralTweets. It does the same thing as TweetGetter.

Great Bum Marketing tool.
