In the early days of online listserv or discussion groups, a company that
launched a product or new technology without the proper testing could
be literally crippled by these groups.

There were instances where companies would discount the opinions
of listservs as they watched their sales decline until they finally
realized they couldn’t simply ignore it and continue with business
as usual.

It took a while, but companies finally understood that they had to
go into the groups and communicate and manage customers and
customer messaging with facts.

They had to be heard and they had to manage crises. A similar
situation could occur today but we have the opportunity to build
relationships with bloggers & Twitter Followers by giving them
the facts that tell our story.

The power of communication belongs to bloggers and they lead the
way with word-of-mouth (or mouse) marketing. They are serious
enough about communication that they sign up for RSS feeds
that alert them when one of their favorite blogs has been updated
or modified.

It is a ‘reminder” to check the blog. I’m sure you recall that listservs
or bulletin boards drew many “authorities” who were able to shape
consumer confidence of newly released tech products by posting
and positioning themselves with their peers.

Bloggers are positioning themselves as experts to their peers. If
the value of your company is in the hands of bloggers, shouldn’t
you know what they are saying about you?

Blogging is communication in, perhaps, its purest form. A big
debate is currently underway regarding the usefulness of blogs
and Twitter as advertising vehicles.

The fact is that they are a very important channel through
which we can reach our audience and one of the primary
new ways we can effectively communicate brand messages
in a genuine way to very specific groups of people who have
hundreds of online acquaintances with those same specific
interest and NOW TWITTER has taken this concept to an
entirely new level.

We have all seen claims from dozens of people claiming to be
making to Big Money with Twitter.

I just have a couple of thoughts.

Every business person should be user Twitter to daily to grow
and expand their brand.

Yes, some people use Twitter as a Business Model to make
money.

A general rule is. If a guru is willing to share their BIG MONEY
BUSINESS MODEL then the BIG MONEY LIFE CYCLE is Over!

I expand more on this in an article I wrote called:

Has the Big Money Already Been made before we hear
about it?

This article is worth reading and applies to every “New Thing”
in the online marketing world. The “BIG MONEY LIFE CYCLE”
is very short!

Use Twitter to support you existing business, I do not
recommend trying to build a business around Twitter
promotions only, make sense?

Here is the website : http://dossy.org/twitter/karma

We have been searching for an effective inexspensive tool
that allows you to easily unfollow those that are not following
you.

After testing several options we feel the most reliable program
we have found is at http://dossy.org/twitter/karma

This is a free service. It is not automated, however you should
never unfollow more than 50 accounts in a day, or you run the
risk of your account being flagged by Twitter.

Many people find it hard to get past 2000 followers because of the
follow-to following ratios Twitter requires.

This is a very easy to operate program that will help you keep your
ratios in line.

This is a program, that I had heard about, but not really paid any attention to,
until today.

Bottom lin is this.

I have a niche Twitter account with 1,500 followers.

I used The Hummingbird Software described on this site
to obtain the followers. This is a total niche site outside
of marketing and I have not used my name at all.

What I am trying to say is anyone could have done this
regarless of your background or experience. It took less
than 30 days using the Software to create the 1,500
followers.

I went to Mag Pie, to see what the income potenital of
this site might be?

They offered to pay me up to $1,041.00 monthly if I would
allow them to run 1 ad for every 10 tweets from this site.

Are you kidding?

I am going to find out.

Heck if it is $500 that is $500 I didn’t have, right?

I very cool way to make money with your twitter profile that you
should definately check out.

This is interesting, here is the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120431740011

With the Hummingbird Software that we review on this
website, you can build a Twitter list of 1,500 followers in
about 2-4 days.

So it will be very interesting to see what this account ends up
selling for.

We may be looking at a new business model. Many people have
sold MySpace accounts in the past on Ebay, in fact I have
bought a few.

I am not sure of the ethics of this, but I guess if non-guru
Joe builds a targetted Twitter folllowing and then sales the
account their is really no major problem, I would be interested
in hearing your thoughts?

Many people use brute force techniques to grow their twitter followers only to be
disappointed by the quality of relationships they form. I not against BRUT FORCE
TECHNIQUES necessarily, it just depends on what your utlitmate goals with Twitter
really are.

I’ll show you how to grow a community of followers who are genuinely interested
in what you have to offer using simple tools and techniques.

If your goal for using Twitter is simply to acquire as many followers as possible, t
here are plenty of common techniques and software programs that we review
here you can use to accomplish your goal.

For most people though, the quality of relationships made on Twitter is much
more important than the quantity.

Maybe you’re trying to attract people to your blog, or sell a product, or find
some freelancing work or just meet some new like-minded friends. Whatever
the case, you can use the techniques found on this site to build a high-quality
Twitter following.

Stay on Topic and Write Often

In a lot of ways, Twitter really is just like blogging. One of the golden rules of
blogging is staying on topic. When you’re building a blog audience, that audience
needs to have a good idea of what you’ll be writing about.

If you switch topics to whatever you’re interested in day-to-day, it will be hard to
gain and keep readers. Some people get around this rule because they are really
funny, quick witted and interesting, but they are the exception, not the rule.

The same goes for Twitter. It is much easier to connect with people who will
genuinely be interested in what you have to say if those people can figure out
what you’ll be tweeting about. Pick a topic, or a handful of related topics, and
write about them. Write often, and use the same keywords that you use to
search for information about your topics.

Twitter Search RSS Feed

Have you ever looked for something on Twitter Search? It’s a great
way to find out what people are saying on Twitter about a
particular topic.

When someone tweets about something that you also write about, there’s
a better chance that he will be interested in your twitter stream. You
can search for various keywords on Twitter Search, and discover people
who are talking about the same things you care about.

This is how I find make the best connections on Twitter. I search regularly
for keywords related to the topic I blog about. I then check out the people
writing on the subject and add them if I think they will care about what I
have to say. It’s a focused approach, and it has helped me turn Twitter into
one of the most powerful marketing tools for my business.

To automate this process, you can subscribe to the RSS feed for each
search you would regularly run. The search results will then be regularly
refreshed in your favorite RSS reader, where you can keep track of the
conversations and continually add people who might like your tweets. I’ve
found that people I add this way are the most likely to retweet my
best content.

A lot has been said about retweeting here on TwiTip before. It also happens to
be a great tool for gaining like-minded followers.

When you retweet something from someone you follow (on a subject that you
regularly tweet about), you’ll set yourself up to gain some valuable followers.
Here’s how it works and how to do it.

When retweeting, expect to give before you get. Start by retweeting things
that you genuinely find interesting, and more importantly that your followers
will find interesting. This will help you gain followers in a couple of ways.

First, some of the people you retweet will eventually reciprocally retweet
your content. Since they write about the same things you write about,
it’s likely that their followers will be interested in you too. Second, the
people you retweet will also likely write “@ reply” thank you notes to you
and/or recommend you for #followfridays.

Making Use of Your New Best Followers
If you use these techniques, you’ll start to find people writing more about
you and your content on Twitter. It doesn’t take tens of thousands of followers
to drive some meaningful traffic to your blog or website. I’ve found that with
only a few followers, Twitter has become one of my best marketing tools.

Start building a better quality Twitter following for yourself today. Just
stay on topic, write often, find people through Twitter Search and retweet
people how you like to be tweeted.
