Are You Boring Your Twitter Followers Spitless

‘A great site to add followers…’

Or so went the tweet! As did the next tweet from that person, and the next, and the next…!

The solution was plain, and simple! A quick click to his profile, and another to ‘unfollow’ him!

This is why boring your followers with a constant stream of links and promos will get you nowhere!.

Thay haven’t joined your marketing list!

They have joined a social networking site.

Many have joined to socialize with friends, others to get updates on news, while others still have joined just to find out what the fuss is all about.

Oh, and quite a few have joined up to promote their business offer.

This means that they will most probably want to network right back at you.

I don’t have a problem with this, but if you are always talking about you, then you will have missed the point of social media!

Don’t get lost on a road to nowhere!

An email marketing list is usually double optin, and even then there is no guarantee that your subscribers will read your content.

This is especially so if you use poor head lines, send emails too often, and/or don’t add value.

Imagine the futility then of spending all your time and energy building a following on social media sites and then blow it all by having users block you!

Worth thinking about…

Follow Friday Is Good! Is It Time For Unfollow Monday?

Teeg and I were having a joke about Follow Friday the other day.

Maybe what is needed now is an “Unfollow Monday” to get rid of spammers.

Instead of using #ff we could use #um!

Then instead of people sending around lists of people that they recommend…

The possibilities are endless!

Have a great weekend!
