He simply offered to <strong>donate $3 per Twitter follower<\/strong> and <em>thousands of Twitter users started following him!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tim Ferriss launched his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourhourworkweek.com\/blog\/2009\/03\/09\/tweet-to-beat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Tweet to Beat<\/a> campaign, where for every new Twitter follower over two weeks, he will donate $1 to DonorsChoose.org, and an anonymous supporter will match $2, totalling $3. The idea is to help 25,000 U.S. public school students in low-income and high-need areas in two weeks. So if he gains 50,000 new followers over these 2 weeks, it means donating $150,000 to U.S. public school education. Since the deal is on, he might gain many more followers in the next week.<\/p>\n<p>If that doesn&#8217;t interest you, he is offering people who spread the word grand prizes like a round-trip air ticket anywhere in the world valid for 10 years! This cool tactic has helped Tim gain nearly 5000 Twitter followers in the last 5 days, not to mention the huge number of backlinks and free publicity for his amazing book (which you must read anyway).<\/p>\n<p>Of course if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2009\/02\/increase-twitter-followers\/\">need thousands of Twitter followers<\/a> every day, try getting on the Suggested users list, and some people are even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2009\/03\/buy-twitter-suggested-users\/\">willing to pay $250,000<\/a> to get listed there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did Timothy Ferriss, author of my favorite bestseller The 4-Hour Workweek, gained nearly 5000 Twitter followers in 5 days?&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,111],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","category-social-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6588\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
