Get Tons of Retweets By Throwing A Twitter Party

What’s a Twitter party and how do you host one to get tons of Retweets?  A Twitter party isn’t a swanky, invite-only party for Twitterers with a million followers.  In fact, a Twitter party isn’t even a physical party, it’s a virtual party hosted by one or many users on Twitter.  Here’s an excerpt from the TwitterPartyGuide on what this is exactly:

“A twitter party is a fast and fun virtual party, using the twitter platform. Usually held in the evening, twitter parties typically last 1-2 hours and are a wonderful way for people to connect and discuss a topic of choice. Most twitter parties have an expert panelist and party host to keep the party on topic.

How does a twitter party work?

Twitter users tweet with a specified Hashtag (#) for the party. The party host will announce the hashtag prior to the event. If you look at the twitter party calendar, parties are listed by the hashtag (#). Users use their tweet chat client to search for the hashtag and join in the conversation. Tweetdeck and Tweetgrid make following a twitter party much easier.”

MoonFruit did a fantastic job of organizing their Twitter party where they gave away a MacBook Pro everyday for 7 days.

Here are 2 ways you can leverage a Twitter party for traffic by having your followers include a unique hashtag and:

• Retweet a blog post with your Twitter handle

• Retweet a message with your Twitter handle and have them follow you

Now I know we all can’t give away Macbook Pros everyday like Moonfruit, but as bloggers, we can give away a chance to win a link back to their blogs, an opportunity to become a guest blogger, or even a retweet from your own account.
