I have got a real quick tip for you today, but it is an extremely effective method of boosting traffic to your blog. We are going to leverage the currency of Twitter (tweets) in order to drive traffic.

It is really simple – just publish a post on your blog offering some sort of product (be it an eBook, an audio file, or something else) in return for a tweet promoting that same product.
