The Rapid Rise of Buffer with Leo Widrich

by Srinivas Rao

I kept seeing Leo’s name on twitter and I ran into him at BlogWorld. I’d been hearing so much about Buffer and I finally decided to try it out myself. After three days of using it, I immediately upgraded to the paid version – because I thought it was such an amazing app.
Here are few of the highlights from our chat:
  • How Guy Kawasaki Became an Advisor for Buffer
  • How Leo Used High Volume Guest Posting to Grow His Business
  • Using Buffer to Increase Engagement with Your Followers
  • Some Insights into the Fundraising Process
  • Getting Big Media Outlets to Cover Your Blog or Business

Leo Widrich is co-founder of Buffer, a new way to Tweet and share FB posts more intelligently. I also blog Twitter tips at http://blog.bufferapp.com. You can follow him on twitter @leowid.

econwriter5 Buffer is a great tool. It's really allowed me to be more efficient with twiitter. I use buffer to share content, but tweetdeck for conversation. I find that this works really well. I think one of the most interesting things was they didn't spend a dime on their marketing. It was all done through guest posts.
