Instant Messaging Tutorial

Posted on 24. Jun, 2010 by admin.

Facebook & MySpace each have their own instant messaging systems, but with the kind of marketing I am teaching you here, you don’t want to get into the habit of using them while you are doing business.

It’s ok to use them for personal reasons, but while you are building your list of friends in Facebook and MySpace, you want to be able to keep track of the conversations you have with people.

And, here is why. Remember in my last Social network training video, I mentioned that there are 12 questions you want to use in order to qualify the individuals that you speak with.

Well, using the internal messaging system will not save the conversations, but the external messaging systems will. If you want to use the internal messaging tools, then I suggest that you copy and paste all of your conversations to a text file of some sort because you are going to want to track your conversations.

MySpace:

To download MySpace Messaging:

1. Go to More
2. Click on IM
3. Click on”More about MySpaceIM for Windows“.
4. Click on Dowload Now button

If you notice, the last version update was on 12/1/09. If you have an older version, you can download this version to get the latest.

Also, notice, MySpaceIM runs on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. It does not run on Mac. If you have a Mac, then you are going to need to use Yahoo Messanger.

After downloading and installing the MySpaceIM tool, you should see THIS icon.

Make sure that once it is installed, that you go to File –> Keep Message History is checked.

Facebook:

For Facebook, you are going to use a different tool. That tool is called Digsby.

To download and install Digsby, just go to Digsby.com or google “Digsby”.

One thing I will add here. With Digsby, it is not as intuitive as MySpaceIM, in my opinion. Since you want to use this tool as a means of communication with your Facebook friends, you not only want to add Facebook to the “Social Networks” section, but you will also need to add “Facebook Chat” to the IM Accounts.

Like MySpaceIM, you can customize the look and feel of Digsby to your liking.

OK, that is it for now. Much more on this subject is coming your way. Bye for now…

Making Social Networking Friendship Requests

Posted on 17. Jun, 2010 by admin.

Find Like-Minded People:

The idea is to decide what you want to accomplish within these social networking sites and then use the tools on each of the sites to build your profile. Once you do that, you can find people to add to your friends list and join networks and groups.

If you have no idea what you want to do on these sites, you can just create a general profile and look at the profile of others.  The basic idea is to find people that you know or want to get to know.  Even if you are using the site to further your business, you need to stick with this idea.

Leadership Training

Posted on 16. Jun, 2010 by admin.

When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don’t go according to you plans. You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. In the daily events, do you feel that your goals remain just that, goals. Then maybe it is time for you to stand up and do something about it.Many employees are content just to stand around listening for orders. It is unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader-mentality. But, maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen; to be the head and not the tail. Maybe leadership suits fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it is true that some people are born to be natural leaders. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, you will not be able to establish yourself as an leader.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. Many establish their leadership skills through a leadership training of some sort. Learning about leadership requires commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let’s define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective. He or she must contribute to the organization and cohesion of a group.

Contrary to what most people believe, having mlm leadership characteristics is not about power. It is not about harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping them to see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader, not a boss.

In other words, you must first get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?

People follow others when they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Maybe you may have seen the bumper sticker that says, “Don’t follow Me, I’m Lost Too”? The same holds true for online leadership. If you do not know where you are headed, chances are people will not follow you.

You must know the vision you have set for yourself. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, your goals and objectives, and how it works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.

Being a leader is not about what you make others do. it is about who you are, what you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what you want you followers to become.

Studies have shown that one other basis of good leadership is the trust and confidence your followers have of you. If they trust you, they will go through hell and high water for you.

Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.

The way you deal with your followers, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger the relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.

Once you have their trust and confidence, you may proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you wish to undertake.

Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this, you cannot be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people.

Also, you cannot be a good leader unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weight the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution.

It is this judgment that your followers will come to rely upon. Therefore, good decision-making is vital to the success of your leadership.

Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone.

You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your followers have. Only when you come to this realization, will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.

Remember, being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about you. It is about you and the people around you.

So, do you have the drive and desire that is required of a leader? Do you have the desire to work with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be a leader TODAY!

Facebook Secrets To Success

Learn Facebook Secrets To Success

Network marketing is booming on the internet, in part, due to the worldwide economic crisis. Many people are seeking alternative means of generating an income; one that will allow them to leave their jobs and have a better quality of life.But, the reality is that most people fail in network marketing. Often this is caused by unrealistic dreams; promises of freedom and wealth in a short amount of time. Other times, it is due to lack of an understanding in what it takes to build a successful business on the internet. The end result is people quit. No money, no success, people lose their enthusiasm and they’re gone.

If you want to have a successful business and you want to use the internet to help you create this success, there are a number of things that you must first understand and then do. Many people fail in network marketing because they do not know how to market. Marketing is a way in which we, as business owners, let others know that we have a product, service, or opportunity to share. But, it is the way we present our business that keeps the customers at bay. The truth of the matter is, no one cares about your products or your services, or your opportunity. People have been constantly bombarded by others, just like you, trying to get them to buy something or pay money to join some business. The outcome of such “in your face” marketing has lead many individuals to develop an emotional wall to those who are trying to sell them a product, service, or business opportunity. They see you coming and all they see is someone who is trying to get into their pocketbook or into their purse. Yet, these same individuals neglect to see this and continue their guerilla style of marketing which continues to generate little to no results.

Many more savvy network marketers have turned to social networking sites, like FaceBook, to wheel and deal their goods, but even in social networking sites like Facebook, they continue to encounter the same emotional wall. Some people just never learn. While it is true that FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace, or even LinkedIn, have become very powerful venues to building a successful business on the internet, there is the right way and then there is the wrong way to this. I am going to share with you, the Inner FaceBook secrets to success in network marketing. You see, there is a weapon that all of us possess but don’t know that we have. No one has taught us about this secret weapon but it is there every day. Do you want to know what this secret weapon is? This secret weapon is YOU! That’s right, it is YOU.

Why YOU? Well, we, as individuals we are unique in many ways. Our personalities, physical characteristics, behaviors, etc, are the one thing that sets us apart from anybody else. There is only one of you. So, if you want more customers and better results in your marketing, you have got to start marketing you. Stop wheeling and dealing your goods and start wheeling and dealing YOU. But, you say that you have nothing to offer. Maybe not now, but in time you will and the amount of time is going to be determined by how quickly you can get through the learning curve.

If you want to have success in your Facebook marketing, or any kind of marketing for that matter, you have got to spend some time learning marketing skills, then use these skills to market your business. When you start generating leads and income, then you know you are ready to share those skills with others, by helping other network marketers, just like you, to creating success in their business. You can apply your newly acquired marketing skills amongst the FaceBook members. Once you start generating results, others in FaceBook will notice. This is the Facebook secret to success. Just share what you know by helping others and you will see more customers seeking you out with credit cards in hand.

Below are 3 secret success principles to creating Facebook success or any business success. They are:

1. Generating Leads

2. Building relationships with those leads.

3. Marketing to those leads.

Sounds simple right. Well, no, it is not that simple, but once you learn how to successfully implement these 3 principles, in particular in Facebook, you will have no problem positioning yourself as a leader amongst many. Making money online doesn’t have to be hard, once you make the decision that building a business online is all about marketing YOU, and building “YOU Inc”.

Protecting Your Computer System

Posted on 25. May, 2010 by admin.

Today, more and more people are using their computers for everything from communication to online banking and investing to shopping.

As we do these things on a more regular basis, we open ourselves up to potential hackers, attackers and crackers; such as the recent ‘trash virus’ that attacked hundreds if not thousands of WordPress blogs. While some may be looking to phish your personal information and identity for resale, others simply just want to use your computer as a platform from which to attack other unknowing targets.

Below are a few easy, low cost steps you can take to make your computer more secure to begin with:

Always make backups of important information and store in a safe place separate from your computer.

Update and patch your operating system, web browser and software frequently. If you have a Windows operating system, start by going to www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and running the update wizard. This program will help you find the latest patches for your Windows computer. Also go to www.officeupdate.microsoft.com and locate possible patches for your Office programs.

Install a firewall. Without a good firewall, viruses, worms, Trojans, malware and adware can all easily access your computer from the Internet. Consideration should be given to the benefits and differences between hardware and software based firewall programs.

Review your browser and email settings for optimum security. Why should you do this? Active-X and JavaScript are often used by hackers to plant malicious programs into your computers. While cookies are relatively harmless in terms of security concerns, they do still track your movements on the Internet to build a profile of you. At a minimum set your security setting for the “Internet zone” to High, and your “trusted sites zone” to Medium Low.

Install anti-virus software and set for automatic updates so that you receive the most current versions.

Do not open unknown email attachments. It is simply not enough that you may recognize the address from which it originates because many viruses can spread from a familiar address.

Do not run programs from unknown origins. Also, do not send these types of programs to friends and coworkers because they contain funny or amusing stories or jokes. They may contain a Trojans horse waiting to infect a computer.

Disable hidden filename extensions. By default, the Windows operating system is set to “hide file extensions for known file types”. Disable this option so that file extensions display in Windows. Some file extensions will, by default, continue to remain hidden, but you are more likely to see any unusual file extensions that do not belong.

Turn off your computer and disconnect from the network when not using the computer. A hacker cannot attack your computer when you are disconnected from the network or the computer is off.

Consider making a boot disk on a floppy disk in case your computer is damaged or compromised by a malicious program.  Obviously, you need to take this step before you experience a hostile breach of your system.

Facebook Marketing Tutorial

Posted on 25. May, 2010 by admin.

Most network marketers sell products in which they have no interest or desire. You must have a passion for what you are selling. If not, your customers will perceive this and not buy from you.

Many network marketers have not defined a marketing strategy. They don’t know to whom they are selling, what their prospects needs are and how to reach them.

The online marketer’s strategy consists of selling to everyone. They have no clear definition of “who their target market is.” Does this sound familiar? Many online entrepreneurs have made this unfortunate mistake, including myself. The find a product to sell, create a website, submit it to the search engines, and wait for the orders to come rolling in. However, in reality, how often is this successful? Practically never.

Network marketers spend countless hours and thousands of dollars on a product and website without answering the questions that were posed in the first paragraph.

Solutions To The Internet Marketer’s Mistakes:

Find an easy-to-target-niche market, one that is easy to identify. Also, it must be an industry that generates interest, desire and passion for you, because this is going to be your business, a part of your life. You will need to spend a great deal of time researching and developing it. Being associated with something of interest will greatly increase your odds of success. If you have a passion about a certain subject, customers will sense it and be more motivated to buy from you.

The easiest method of determining a new business is to brainstorm by asking yourself the following questions, which should elicit a series of hot and profitable business ventures.

• What do you enjoy doing?
  
• What is your current occupation?
  
• Did you acquire specialized skills, knowledge and talents from your job?
  
• What are your hobbies that you enjoy?
  
• How do you spend your free time?
  
• What did you enjoy doing as a child?
  
• What were your favorite subjects in school?
  
• What materials do you read on a regular basis?
  
• If you had a choice of a career, what would it be?

The mlm pro network marketing secrets to generating a huge income online is to first identify your niche-market. Know who they are, their buying habits and what products most appeal to them. Do not try to reach everyone. Select a specific group of people who are ready, willing, and able buyers for your products and or service.

The best approach is to study newsgroups and message boards. By reading the posted messages, these forums can provide tons of information. This is also what is described as Preparing a Product Market Study. The steps mentioned in the Study can help you solve a number of the biggest mysteries regarding your niche-market. From your study, you will learn some valuable information; such as, needs, wants and problems of your market. What product or service to offer and how it would benefit the customer. Finally, it shows what sales strategies are the most effective.

Using Blogs In Your Home Based Business

Posted on 07. May, 2010 by admin.

As an online home based business entrepreneur, you have several good tools available on the internet.  You can take advantage of them and use them to build your home based business.  A blog is one of those tools that you can used and should use.

Over the past few years, blogs have become very popular.  A blog, or weblog, is a personal web site that is updated frequently with links, commentary and anything else you like.  People maintain blogs long before the term “blog” was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated systems; such as, Blogger (http://blogger.com) At blogger.com thousands of people use services like Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.  This makes it very simple to create several 100 pages within a site all with the same look and feel but with different content.  This is exactly what the major search engines are looking for.

There are several reasons why a work from home internet business entrepreneur, like myself, uses blogs in their arsenal of marketing tools.  The number of reasons for me is to gain better search engine exposure.  I have a number of blogs and websites already started.  All are geared to home based business, training products, and products in general.  Every time I write a new article or find a good one using public domain articles, I submit it to my blog which creates a new page in my blog site.  The search engines will find and spider this new page.  I also have a number of articles and blogs that pertain to home based business marketing tips, which I try to post several good tips to each week.  This is all great content that offers value to my prospects and customers.  The goal is to get as many visitors to read them as possible.

Blogs also create opportunities for more search engine submissions.  With the popularity of blogs, special blog search engines have emerged.  The only way you can submit to one of these special blog search engines is if you have a blog yourself.  Blogs create a special rss or xml file that these search engines will look for.

Setting up your blog may initially take some time and effort, but it’s made much simpler if you use blogger.com.  But, do not use blogger’s hosting service.  Be sure to use you own domain and hosting service.  This will get you the best results with the search engines.  Once you have chosen your main template, you will need to keep posting new and good content that your readers would be interested in to your blog.  Eventually, over time, you will have 100′s of pages of great content that your visitors will enjoy reading all spidered by the major search engines, giving you more traffic and exposure.

Basic Internet Marketing Strategies

Posted on 04. May, 2010 by admin.

There are many simple, infallible ways to earn income, and one of the surest ways is through marketing your business on the internet.  When you learn basic marketing techniques, you will wonder why you haven’t already jumped on the bandwagon.  When you think about it, the only things you’ll need to make money is a vision of what it is you want out of your life and the wisdom and energy to put your ideas into action.

Basic internet marketing techniques can teach us how to acquire wealth, and an important favor is to provide something the public needs (or think they need) whether it is a product, a service, information or something else entirely.  There are many choices.

Every business has a goal of making money, and every business has something to sell.  You will need knowledge and a product before you begin your internet marketing.  You may need at least a small amount of capital to start your business, although the outlay could be relatively small if you are selling information or services as opposed to a tangible product.

Don’t Have Any Money?

On a fairly regular basis, I get emails or phone calls from people who say they want to start a home based business or to be successful in network marketing.
But, they don’t have any money.

Most times these people just quit or they go from one deal to the next, looking for the pie in the sky opportunity that will NEVER appear.

They use the EXCUSE that they don’t have ANY money as the reason why they can’t do network marketing or home based business and have success.

When I hear people say that they can’t do network marketing because they don’t have any money, the first thing  that comes to mind is “You don’t REALLY want to do this.”

Because If you REALLY wanted to have a home business, you would find a way.

Now, you may be wondering why I would say this.  Suppose I challenged you by saying, “If you come up with $500 dollars by next Monday, I will give you $100,000.”  What do you think the odds are that you will somehow come up with the $500 by next Monday?

I say 100%.

You see, it’s not about whether you have the money.  It’s about whether or not you are motivated enough to take action.

Let me give you another example.

Hypothetically, if I lived in Alaska, and I wake up in the middle of the night and I want some ice cream.  But it is in the middle of winter.  It is 10 degrees outside and there is snow all over my car.  If I really wanted ice cream, I am going to freeze, shovel off the snow and drive iin a car that is not given time to warm up.

But, if I don’t really want ice cream bad enough to go through all the effort and discomfort, I am going to roll over and go back to sleep.

I didn’t really want ice cream. I was wishing for ice cream.  And there is a big difference between wanting something and wishing something.

Most people are just wishing for money and a better life, and nicer things. But they do not want to go through the effort and discomfort of acquiring them.  They have bought into the lie that success is easy or happens like winning the lottery.

And, all they do is look for reasons why they can’t do something. The problem with this approach is it becomes a way of life.  And the only way you are going to change things is if one day you wake up and say, “ENOUGH!” “NO MORE”, “THAT’S IT”

“I am going to do something to change my life NOW and I am going to do WHATEVER I need to do, to accomplish my DREAMS. Because no one else is going to do it for me.”

There are ALWAYS going to be EXTERNAL obstacles and forces that tell you, that you can’t do something.  But, youuhave to know what it is deep down inside that you really want. Because without that, you do not have the fuel to keep the fire burning HOT enough and LONG enough, to make the journey from FAILURE to SUCCESS.

So, if you are saying “I don’t have any money.”, then my response to you is, “That is EXACTLY why you should not be doing network marketing or have a home based business.  You need the money MORE than I DO.  And therefore, you MUST find a way to do this business.

Think about it for a second.

If you are a grown adult, over 25 and you do not have a few hundred dollars to start a home-based business, something is seriously wrong.

Maybe you…
- made some bad life choices
- don’t manage you money well
- have wrong priorities
- don’t take personal responsibility for your life.
- or are just plain lazy and don’t want to work.
I don’t know what the reasons are and I don’t need to know.

But, what you need to do is take a SERIOUS look in the mirror and ask yourself, “what is it that I truly want out of life.”

What is it?  (and this may take some time for you to answer)

Whatever your answer is, that is your motivation for doing any home-based or network marketing business.

You need to do this for your reasons. Not mine and not anyone else’s.

And if your reason is big enough and motivating enough, you will do whatever it takes (morally and legally) to make it so.  Because, once you find the thing that truly motivates you, there will be no more excuses.  You will be UNSTOPPABLE.

But, you must have a BIG enough reason why! It must drive you!  Because you will have obstacles and hurdles and setbacks.

And you will need a BIG REASON why to push you through everthing that will try to stop you.

This is one of the TRUE SECRETS TO SUCCESS.
It is a FOUNDATION PRINCIPLE for all accomplishments throughout human history.

Think about this for a moment.  There are people who immigrate to the United States with nothing more than the shirt on their backs, start out as dishwashers or some other menial job and within 5-10 years are VERY FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL, even MILLIONAIRES.

Do you think they are any smarter?  They sure didn’t have any money.  They had to do it all on their own and they started at the BOTTOM.

Your success is NOT determined by you NOT having any money.  It is about you finally getting a reason why that motivates you enough to take massive action.

Success is when an opportunity meets a determined will. It is about getting off your rear and quit making excuses and start doing something with your life that matters to you.

(and quit sitting around every night, getting your brain pickled from watching mindless television shows that suck the motivation and lif out of you.)  Sure it’s going to be tougher starting out with no money.  But you can do it if you really  want to.

And if you don’t do anything, who is going to do it for you?  And if you don’t start now, when are you going to start?  Nobody is going to do this for you.
Mom and Dad aren’t going to pick up the pieces. The white knight in shining armor is a myth.

And, there is never going to be a perfect moment when all the stars are in alignment and Ed McMahon or whomever, shows up on your doorstep with the BIG SWEEPSTAKES check.
You have to do it yourself for yourself.

When you finally have the attitude that you are going to do whatever it takes (ethically and morally) and then follow through with intelligent, massive action because you have a driving reason why, you will have everything you need to start achieving your dreams.

You will find a way.
You will be creative.
You will work harder.
You will be smarter.
You will keep going.
You will not stop.
You will not be DENIED!
DOORS WILL OPEN!!!

This message does not just apply to your network marketing opportunity, but also applies to your whole life.

I know there are some people reading this who really are in unfortunate financial circumstances beyond their control.  This email is not intended to insult you or belittle you or your situation in any way.

But, I would encourage you to re-evaluate your situation because if you really want someting better in life, and make up your mid to do something about it, and stick with it, you can change your whole life.

It won’t be easy. But it will be worth it.

You can do it, if you have a BIG enough reason why.  Impossible situations can change, sometimes in an instant.

I know this is true because at one point in my life, I had was diagnosed with cancer.  But, here I am almost 25 years later. It was not easy for me to get my health back, but I did.

My hope for you is that you will take this message to mind and it will light a fire in your heart, so that you will be unstoppable too in whatever you decide to do.

Twitter Boom – How Can You Use Twitter

Posted on 03. May, 2010 by admin.

Below are just a few ways Twitter can help to benefit your online business:Establishing repertoire with your customers/readers.

Twitter allows for a bit more personal, less formal, more fun mode of communication. It allows your audience to catch a glimpse of you just as a regular person sending SMS texts from Wal-Mart, rather than a serious, detached blogger or business owner.

Why is this useful? It allows people to connect and relate to you on a personal level. It makes you look just like a “regular Joe” or “regular Jane”, especially if you include random/fun tweets among the more serious, business-driven tweets.

Keeping your customers/readers updated.

With a blog, you might only update once or twice per week. With Twitter, you might send a handful of tweets per day, keeping your followers “in the loop” and reminding them of your existence.

Of course, it’s not recommended to send a million tweets per day. This will only serve to annoy people and they will likely unfollow you.

Building a loyal, steady customer-base:

“BUILD A LIST” As a marketer, I’m sure you’ve heard this refrain many times over. Building a list is one of the most vital steps you can take in the advancement of online business. Twitter is pretty much the same as building a list. Although it might be even more effective in the long run.

When it comes to an email list, a large portion of your subscribers won’t even glance at the emails you send. Their eyes will glaze over and they may even send it to the trash. With Twitter, your followers will see all of your Tweets. They’ll digest its information in about half a second and if you include a link, they probably won’t get offended.

Chances are, if you included an eye-catching description, they’ll probably click it! Additionally, it won’t SEEM like you are marketing to them, because you’re just another Twitter user tweeting about random stuff!

Building up excitement for a product launch:

Just like with an email list, Twitter can be used to build up excitement about an upcoming product launch. It can start with occasional tweets about your “new project”, and by keeping your followers up to date and offering freebies and cool stuff that they’ll appreciate, you’ll build trust and anticipation. When your product launches, a well-timed Tweet may likely be just as effective as a blast to your email list.

Driving traffic to your website:

Wouldn’t it be great if you could instantly notify hundreds or thousands of people every time you update your blog? Twitter makes this possible. It essentially acts as an RSS feed. By building a sizable list of followers, you pretty much have access to an instant source of traffic to your website or blog.

People who would otherwise not be aware of updates and new content will be notified, giving them a chance to check it out. If your blog is high-quality, people will keep an eye out for more of your Tweets.

Building relationship with business contacts.

Twitter makes it easy to keep in touch with business partners and contacts. Traditionally instant messaging is on its way out, and you’ll find that most savvy internet marketers use Twitter as their primary social networking tool. So take advantage of this fact! Hook up with your contacts so you can work on building a closer relationship.

Crowd-sourcing:

Crowd-sourcing is a unique form of outsourcing. It works by calling on your friends, fans, followers, email subscribers, etc. to contribute ideas and solutions. Basically, it is a form of “group intelligence.”

By listening to the crowd marketers and business owners can figure out the exact, needs, and wants of their customer base. In this way, innovative new ideas and strategies are born that are guaranteed to fall in line with the desires of the consumer.

By directly asking your followers what type of new software they’d like to see developed, or what their biggest setbacks are, or what they liked/disliked most about your last ebook, you can gain an incredibly amount of insight about your business!

Going Viral:

Social networking sites give us a great opportunity to “go viral”. This means that you Tweet about something that really catches people’s attention. Your followers are impressed, so they re-Tweet it.

In turn, each of their followers re-Tweet it, and so on and so on, and soon your little Tweet spreads like wildfire, snowballing into a huge storm of clicks and traffic.

Of course, trying to make something go viral probably won’t work. It tend to just happen on its own. Tweeting, “Hey everyone buy my software click here” will never go viral, obviously. But, if you find something really interesting, little-known, valuable, funny, etc. you might have a chance.

Very often, Tweets go viral without anyone really expecting or planning on it. This is just one of the many amazing benefits of social networking.
