Lately my inbox has been bursting with offers from Internet Marketers who are claiming that FaceBook is the new Google and THEY have found to key to making oodles of money with it. Of course, they are willing to share this opportunity with you… for a token fee.
Riiiiight.
I cancelled my Twittollower account this week.
Not sure why you should care?
Then you have probably missed my introductory Test Tube article on Twittollower, the service that builds your list of Twitter followers automatically (in my test tube articles, I put various tools/software/strategies to the test on my main web sites, and report the results to you!).
This service promises to add a minimum of 2,000 niche-targeted followers to your list each and every month. This, at an introductory cost of $67 per month, rising to $99/month after the first 200 participants.
If you’ve been following along for the last little while, you’re probably aware my last few posts have been about building a huge Twitter following using the Twittollower service. I haven’t got enough data yet to report whether or not the service delivers the sort of followers who respond to my “tweets”, although it is certainly building a list of followers quickly enough.
Anyhow, I just wanted to follow up on this discussion and say that thanks to some tips from Kevin Riley’s new Twitter Vending Machine publication, the whole “Twitter-Tweeting-Tracking” thing is going much more smoothly.
The key to making the process a whole lot easier (thank you, Kevin!) is the effective use of the HootSuite service. Hootsuite is a free online service that allows you to…
How to use HootSuite properly was just one of the things I learned from Kevin Riley’s Twitter Vending Machine. Like all of Kevin’s products, it’s competitively priced (under $20) and delivers great value. If you want to learn how to build and manage a huge list of Twitter followers to leverage your business, you’ll love this publication. Highly recommended.
If you were intrigued by my recent post about building a massive Twitter following with the Twittollower service, I thought I’d follow up with a quick update of data. Now, barely a week into the experiment, I have just over 1,000 followers.
If you’ve spent any time reading this blog, you know I haven’t exactly been jumping on the Twitter bandwagon. Especially not for building my online business. However, it’s always important to keep an open mind. No matter how I feel about Twitter, there are numerous credible and respected online marketers who – if they are to be believed – are using it to successfully grow their businesses.
That’ one of the reasons I let my WordPress developer talk me into setting up a Twitter account for UltimateFatBurner.com and integrate Twitter on the blog.
Unless you’ve spent the last 6 months in a vacuum, you’ve probably heard something about Twitter and micro-blogging – the “apparent” newest trend in social media / networking.
Being inherently curious of any online tool that has certain authoritative figures in the Internet Marketing field buzzing with excitement, I decided to spend a little time looking into Twitter lately.
I’ve read authoritative articles on the subject, J.B. Allen’s “The Tweet Virus”, the gushing of numerous gurus, and I am currently in the middle of Joel Comm’s new book on the subject, “Twitter Power: How To Dominate Your Market One Tweet At A Time.”
And I don’t get it.
Twitter might be fun, but it is one heck of an inefficient business building tool. That’s how it looks to me – at least for my business. So far.
