10 Twitter Brain Farts

by Ben Settle

A while back, I wrote a strange blog post about Twitter.

It listed 10 “tweets” I wrote that generated more feedback, direct messages and emails than the others.

I actually wrote the post for my own amusement, and didn’t think anyone would think anything of it either way.

Well, I was wrong.

Because soon after, I got an email from a UK social marketing consultant named Glen Crosier.

Glen wanted to interview me about why those tweets were more popular than the others.

The result was a 34 minute interview analyzing all 10 of those tweets — one at a time — and the “psychology” behind them.

However, before you listen, take the info with a grain of salt.

I am NOT a twitter expert by any means.

In fact, I don’t think I can trace any moolah from Twitter.

But I have had a lot of fun with it.

And if a guy like Glen found value in it, then maybe you will, too.

Whatever the case, here ya go:

Hey Ben,

I took time to read the 10 tips but I haven’t listened to the interview yet.

Gotta love the Al the Plumber story. Great example of how to be memorable.

Lost my Frank Bettger book years ago and now you’ve given me a good reason to get my ass out of the chair and run to Borders.

And if you want a real treat Ben, find the Gerry Spence “How To Argue and Win Everytime” Audio Book. Hearing him go through the voice exercises is awesome.

But the hidden benefit is feeling the melodic tone, well-timed inflections and cadence of his voice. Paying close attention to these is instructive for anyone who wishes for their voice to make love to their listeners ear.

Thank you Ben for reminding me how to be great,

Cool Note, thanks for sharing.

I actually used to have the audio version of “How To Argue And Win” but it was cassette and I donated them to the library a while back. But from what I remember, you are definitely right — that dude really knows how to communicate.

Ben
