Twitter Update

Hi all. It's been a while since I've gotten anything published between the frequent travel that I've been doing as well as this new AWESOME writing job! Nonetheless I have time stored aside for you and I wanted to update you on some things I've been seeing about Twitter.

As I said in my last post about it, Twitter is a very valuable resource to take advantage of, even if you think the concept is stupid.

Some may ask, "why would I find the concept stupid?" and the short answer is this: facebook, myspace and other social media sites that I've been using for LONGER than Twitter offer the SAME service.

This is true.

What is also true is that Twitter is SUPER easy to accumulate lots of "followers" through. All you do is follow them first! Facebook and Myspace are great to meet new people in the area or old friends from school, but Twitter is a social MAGNET. I will even tell you the best way to get follows in return for you following people first...

Type in "Mike Dillard" under the search feature, browse his friends and just hit "follow" for as many as you can stand. These folks are all going to be internet marketers who will more often than not follow you after you follow first.

That's the first Twitter assignment! Mike is a GREAT business coach who provides excellent Boot Camp videos on internet marketing. He's also the guy who provides a few "Magnetic..." series programs. I haven't tried them yet but when you follow people he knows on Twitter, you can always get their opinions!

Back to Twitter...

See, I had somewhere around 700 people I was following at my early stage of Twitter and I had about half of them following me back.

Now I have 870 followers and 1,215 people that I follow. So, not only is my percentage of followers to followees increasing in my favor but I also now have more people following me than those I had even had EXPOSURE to within the first few weeks of using Twitter.

Like I said, it literally BLOWS UP your sphere of influence.

Also - I like Twitter because it's NOT ALL MARKETING! People put quips up, they post sayings, quotes, articles and more. It's just a great way to stay in touch with the world you know and love.

Lastly, I want to mention a tool that I saw for Twitter. I can't say more just yet because I have yet to try it, but I am going to be reviewing it once I get my hands on it. It looks to be a massive benefit to all who use it so I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it!

I'll keep you "POSTED" - (blog humor sucks)
