Yesterday while doing my round of blog reading, i came across a fairly awesome post from the infamous ShoeMoney, It was about Arbitraging Twitter Traffic. If you don’t know what arbitraging is, it is essentially buying something and then immediately selling it again on a different market for a higher place. So for example buying a coffee from across the road, then selling it in your apartment lobby for double the price, And continuously doing so.
In any case, I’m not here to explain what arbitraging is about. Its more to point out a funny thing that is happening constantly in Internet Marketing. If you scroll back through my posts you will see me talking about using RevTwt traffic to push through to offers. Or even to push through to twitter related products. How many of you actually took what i said and went and checked it out? Probably not many.
It isn’t about shoemoney stealing thunder. Quite the opposite, it is about the brainless people that follow someone’s every whim. Even if its what they have heard before. I’m sure before shoemoney’s post there was a tonne of blogs out there screaming the same thing, maybe even some forum posts too. Telling you that revtwt is selling such cheap traffic from twitter that you basically HAVE to make money, there is no other alternative. But it isn’t until someone like shoemoney, or john chow, or whoever it is in your niche tells you the same thing you’ve heard a million times, that you will then take action.
The aftermath of shoemoney’s post is quite interesting. If you go signup to revtwt as an advertiser, then go to create a new ad. You will be met with this :
Click to make it bigger btw. I guess a few too many people took shoes advice too literally and have flooded the system with CPC ads.
Remember guys RevTwt isnt the only twitter advertising network out there. So many people will be using revtwt now, it will be hard to get yourself in some low bids. So get out there and try and find something fresh!
