Twitter.Update.
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.

Hey Ray,
Thanks for the helpful post, I wonder, do you recommend following everyone who follows you?

Thanks for dropping by.Do I recommend following everyone on my list?
Well its a constant thing I do to check my stream of information,for swearing etc.and unfollow as is required.
Ultimately I would say yes,in that 99% of my list is Active,that is tweeted within 24hrs.
They are Human also.Again I check for Robots on a constant basis and avatars.
If you Use a Robot expect the quality of your list to decrease markedly.Simply because Robots do not discern between Tweet times and if they have a avatar or not.
I visited one list of 75k last week.Of their last 1000 followers I would estimate 80% were Chinese or Japanese.Also 75% of the followers had not tweeted within 12 hours.This will lead to a poor response to your recommendations.
Please remember that each persons list is Unique to them,their Business and their character.
Once you have your followers it is your responsiblity to constantly tweak and improve.
I’ll be updating soon.Currently 5k and 3k since 1 April.

Hi Ray,
Good post and great that you have been able to build your following fast, and manually as well. Cant say I know much about twitter, never been a big fan of the social media sites like twitter and facebook. Are you getting much traffic from twitter? If so, you may just be able to twist my arm and become a fan of it.
I will definitely come back and see how you are doing.

Welcome and thanks for dropping by.
As you are an Alex Jeffreys student you are well informed and will have access to the best infomation to gain success.
Each person has to find their particular niche.
I feel I have finally found mine.I can ENJOY this particular social media.I do not enjoy F/B and spend little time there.
I can see results from my efforts already.With only 2000 followers.I was able to get similar results as those with 10000 where getting.WITH only one ad per day.They had 6 a day.Response was 20 to one ad.This will have increased significantly now,but I have decided to Wait until I have 5k.Which I now have.
Traffic with T is different to traffic to your site.It is Targeted traffic.Specific.Direct.
Simon I want Quality.Quality in what I promote and recommend.Quality in response achieved by selecting my own followers.Real active people is my goal.
Quality info and products is my aim.It is Not easy finding them.So I will create my own.Which you are advised to do.
My journey thru Twitter is unique.I have learnt a lot.I am not aware of anyone else doing this manually for so long.
The results will come,I am sure.
Hope this helps.
