Comments on: The Deep Dark Secret of Increasing Your Twitter Followers http://www.stilettosetsports.com/the-deep-dark-secret-of-increasing-your-twitter-followers/ a sports magazine from a pink, sparkly POV Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:13:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stiletto Jen http://www.stilettosetsports.com/the-deep-dark-secret-of-increasing-your-twitter-followers/comment-page-1/#comment-446 Stiletto Jen Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:46:49 +0000 http://www.stilettosetsports.com/?p=4967#comment-446 Thank you :) Can I just add that since I wrote this piece I've gained another 15 followers---guaranteed none read this piece! And I lost a bunch too. I don't think they were spam/bots--whatever they are called. They were just the "I will only follow you if you follow me to make me look good and like I am super popular" people. Thank you :)

I am a big fan of "You help me, I help you" which I feel is extremely important when it comes to building your blog network, the tough part about that is the challenge of finding people that have something to offer that you actually care about reading. For me, even with the many excellent blogs that are out there if the writing style is not what I am looking for, Im out and the list goes on and on of things that need to be in place if I am going to be a continued reader and networking partner with these blogs. In regards to Tweetdeck when I first started using it I found myself taking advantage of the very columns you mentioned above, now as time has gone on I simply use it because it makes re-tweeting fast and easy, oh and I like the little sound it makes. Outside of that I no longer split my groups up, if I am following you I am really following you, if you have nothing to offer or keep your tweets limited to "check my site", "buy my stuff", etc. I simply no longer follow you. No more hassle of editing my tweet deck and shifting people around. Twitter is an excellent tool when used in moderation and by someone who actually has something to offer the follower, I am not a huge follower I would rather be a leader which basically is my way of saying, I will not be following anyone that doesn't have something thats worth following, just for the sake of following them so they can follow me back. I will take a true targeted audience for the tweets I will be tweeting as it will give me the best return for my efforts..... Whatever they might be.

I really wonder about a lot of people that will randomly follow me because I'm following someone like Garyvee, Shoemoney, JohnChow, etc. The reason, I follow them is because they're tweets/blog posts have value. I'm not going to follow back someone just because they happen to have a similar wine, internet marketing site, etc. Great points in this one.
