How To Get Followers On Twitter.
Hi Everyone
Welcome to How To Get Followers On Twitter.Am I qualified to give advice?
Please read my previous posts.Then decide.
Ideally you need to increase your followers fast if you are Business minded.If you are socially minded then this post may not apply to you.But thanks for coming I appreciate it.
Ensure you have a photo of yourself as an Avatar.Dont use a default icon.The Bird.
Go to http://Gravatar.com.Its a free service to help you.
Remember people buy from people not cartoons or a photo of next doors cat!
I see so many newcomers grab the True Twit Validation Service without understanding it.
Their potential follower receives the following “XXX uses TrueTwit validation service. Please follow this link to validate your profile.”Would you greet a potential friend this way?
You have handed over authority to a Robot to check if the person following is a Robot!
To me the greeting is soulless.I,and indeed many people I am in contact with,feel insulted by it.
They simply will not validate and immediately unfollow.Work it out.How many do you see out there?Few.Therefore,for the above reason so few join.What would happen if everyone joined?
Everyone gets greeted by a Robot!So much for “Social”
If you want to know How To Get Followers On Twitter also consider
what type of community do you want?A Robot greeting everyone?You have to join this soulless community.
Unfollow every 24 hours.36 hours max.The quality of your followers is important.Are you aware 30% of new accounts fail within 30 days.If your followers are not tweeting they are not listening.The response rate to your tweets will also suffer.If they have not followed in 36 hours they are not going to.
If you are under 2000 followers,my advice.Follow a maximum of 200-250 a day.You dont look desperate and you can handle the “clearout”and “refollow.”I use http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ for this end.
Fill out your Bio and if you have a blog or website ensure you include that also.People are inquisitive and wish to learn more about you.Open a Facebook account,but be aware of their Privacy Rule.ie they dont have one.
Dont start selling.Dont use affiliate links immediately you account is set up.This is potentially the worst thing you can do.I have read of Twitter gurus advising dont sell until you have 5000 followers!
There again I have read of Internet Marketers who say you should start immediately.Personally I think the answer is somewhere in the middle.
Put some balance into your Tweets.Followers check your profile which lists your recent Tweets.If it is full of blue selling links you could be doing yourself permanent injury.
Add humour,quotes things that you find interesting.Let followers Know who You are.
Do you interact with your followers?I realise this can be difficult when starting.However RT information you find useful,humourous,inspiring or just unusual can assist you.
Mentioning a new follower can also add value to your relationship with your followers.Think of it this way.Wouldnt you like someone to RT or mention you when you become more successful?
I think the number one thing that newbies find the most daunting is,”I dont know what to say.”
Some ideas are Quotes,fun things you have done or are doing.Humour,but most importantly be yourself.Try to keep it positive.We all feel down at times.But how about “feeling awful at present,but I know its going to improve.”Those around you will feel slightly better that you are looking up,not down.
Once you are underway,replying to RT and DM will help you develop.
Important for Business minded people.Keep the swearing out.
I’m still surprised at the amount on Twitter and I’m a relatively open minded person.
But my kids come and read whats going on.I wouldnt swear in front of your kids.
Of course if you’re not Business minded its your choice of course and I understand other views.
Well I hope you have found How To Get Followers On Twitter helpful.Yes it includes personal views.
That is after all the whole point.However I also respect other views.
If someone would like to convince me regarding the “Validation” issue I am ALL ears.

Products and Information That Work.
Welcome
Today I’ll be discussing Products and Information that Work.
But what have I been up to?
Skype?Ive just got of the phone,video line or whatever it is,talking to my friend Mike in Toronto.
What an amazing tool.
For someone who replies to the question “Ebay” with the “?” as an answer,I think I have just stepped into the Star Trek Universe.You see 20 months ago I didn’t have a mobile phone.Now I have websites(profitable ones).A growing following of readers,hopefully action takers and the ability to communicate.
So what did we discuss?
Well Mike is on a similar Journey to myself.He has taken a leap into the Unknown.To become a Success Online.
What came out of our Discussion?
Hopefully this will help those of you entering the Internet Marketing arena,or those with limited experience.
I think Mike would agree.The Business is Huge!There are so many aspects to this Business that it is impossible to do everything,Now.
You come to the conclusion that you will take a certain road,with a Plan,and succeed.
It may be PLR products,Twitter or Giveaway Events.Yes I agree you should be doing All of them,but in the short term concentrate on One particular avenue.Do it well.Do it consistently.Enjoy it!
Mike is of a similar age to myself and finds it difficult to develop Social Media.I am exactly the same.I think it comes from finding difficulty with the new techanogical stuff.But we both will succeed.
As I have said in previous blogs it is building the stepping stones to your future success.If you expect massive results immediately you will sadly be disappointed and give up.
Put in place your free Twitter,Facebook etc,accounts.Sign up for the various Quality affiliate programs.Not for their free giveaways but to eventually promote them in the future.
Use Time productively.30 minutes to an hour max,per task.Then move on.Otherwise you will achieve very little.
I firmly believe that in 3-4 months you will subconsciously be in a position to benefit from the learning you have put into action.
Ok.The purpose to this blog.
You have actions that you have taken that work.A product you have purchased that you have benefited from.In brief,Products and Information that Work.
Simple share it!Where?Here, by commenting and leaving you advice.Please no spam.It only wastes yours and our time,thank you.
I am proud to say that the products that I promote,on this website,my other websites and in my newsletter,are ALL products that I have personally used or admire due to the benefit I have gained.
The one I am most grateful for is…the Plan.It focuses you in one direction.Up.
The second is “The List Building Diary” it’s just so inspiring.700 subscribers to 2000 in a month!Miss it,you will waste years figuring things out.
So its up to you readers.What are the products,ebooks,and information that have been productive for you?
Well that’s all Folks!Except one final tip.If you are on F/B,Twitter etc how many of you lead your readers back to your blog by saying the words “today I wrote a blog,at….”A simple addition that could improve your traffic and your sales!
Hope this helps.To your ultimate success.
Ray
