Archive for the ‘Twitter Update.’ Category

Welcome

Thought I should give a timely update on my Twitter exploits.

Well on my 1st account I managed to achieve 1000 followers in 14 days.The second thousand took just 7 days.
It currently stands at 2477 so a little under 72 hours to increase 477.

I have achieved this ALL manually.My click rate is increasing at a similar rate.Doubling by the thousand.I do not wish to mislead anyone.It is one thing to increase clicks,another to convert those clicks to customers.

As I have stated many times through my Blog and through my Newsletter,it is a Time thing.My Mentor Alex Jeffreys did not decieve he admitted,it is a slow process,but one that will improve gradually and then gather pace.The Momentum is now showing in the stats!

Just to “prove” the Momentum theory,I opened a second account.

It started @ midnight on 22 April.It is now 2.30 pm on the 26th.Followers stand at 834.First thousand in a week?You may notice that would be half the time it took account #1 !

As is stated by many successful Gurus and IM writers.Find something that works and duplicate it.

Developing this system,my way,is very time consuming.8 hours a day.6 days a week.You have to decide if you want success or not.No one said it was easy.However there will come a point where it becomes self propelling with less work.Can not wait.I will do the work to achieve my goals.

Just had to add more “following” to one account.It was running at the same count.

So you may ask.Why not automate the Twitter process?

There are many things on Twitter you may not be aware of if it is all automated.Namely that the quality of your followers,will,I feel suffer.There are many Bot accounts.Do you know how to spot them?

I am able to now spot them easily.They are hardly going to respond to your messages or become potential customers.

Put simply you give away control when you automate.The “personal touch” is also missing.
Yes I agree you have more time on your hands.It is a trade off.My fascination is with how things work.

I came across some response figures for a fully automated account versus an account that only allowed some automation.

Full automation had a response of 27 per 10000.Semi automated,with personal tweets and responses added 97 per 10000.I have had figures of 20 responses but with less than 2000!The quality of the list certainly is a factor.I read also of an account that was purged of 20000 from a figure of 100000 as they were unresponsive or inactive.

So I will be adding more information through my newsletter via the optin at the top right of the page.I trust this has opened your eyes to some factors of Twitter.Thanks for your time.Comments or questions would be appreciated.

The answer to the first question I will answer now.Yes I Will have to automate very soon.However I will know what to look out for also and adjust the list of followers as I go forward.

To Your Success.

Hi Everyone

Just thought I would give an update on my Twitter status.

If you refer to my previous post I had 50 followers on the Ist April.Its grown a little since.It currently stands at 781 which I feel is quite reasonable considering it is ALL manual.

Why manual with all the automated products available?

Two reasons.

1.Just about all the so called “free” methods are paid.There are a few exeptions of value.Twitter has tightened the “following” terms recently.Word of warning here.Get started now,before it is tightened even further!

2.If you spend a bit of time on Twitter you will discover certain aspects of it that you wont know about if its automatic.

Has anyone informed you of the “huge fluctuations” in followers,daily?No.Me neither.

The fluctuations I have noted(I have recorded them all)range approximately at 15% daily.This is not unique to newcomers.Even those with 35000 followers, have dropped dramatically overnight to 29000.Thats close to 20%.

Why does this occur?Well I have my own theory on the subject.
I can only give it in local time.There is a gradual increase from midnight.Busiest period for Europe and Usa.
It continues until 3pm.Then Bang! Hold on to your hats folks,we’re going down,and down and down.Until 11pm local.Then it repeats.

If you are not prepared it can be quite devastating to a newbie.Very disheartening.

Cause?

Well again a personal view.The Robots.The paid automated variety.They must recalibrate all the accounts during this period.It is like clockwork.Same thing everyday,same time.

What can you do?Nothing manually.I tried.Does’nt matter if you Tweet more.Tweet less.No change.

Don’t lose your nerve.Don’t panic or give up.If you were heading upwards with your followers,you should recover to a higher number of followers.Sounds like the Stock Market.Keep doing what you were doing.

There is a side effect to automation.You may lose some close friends if you do not save them to a safe list.I lost the same followers,approx 50 to 70 everyday.Then they would miraculously reappear the next day.So I stopped following them.Now some of them stay.

So I feel you have to monitor your Business,and maintain it.Just like any other type of Business.Or you could ultimately suffer.

Well I hope this has helped give you an insight into what to expect with Twitter.Be prepared and overcome your difficulties one by one.Move forward at all times.Success is around the corner.

Join me on Twitter it would be great to interact with you.
If I can help further,simply leave a comment,or join my newsletter.

To Your Success
