In this thread I will continously post updates on my twitter work. When searching the forums it pops up at twitter is one of the main ways to make money online, so I decided to give it a try. Here is how I'm doing Apparently it should be quite good advertising affiliate selling on twitter if you have a lot of followers so this is my strategy. Set up several accounts and then steadily work up my number of followers with automatic request software and once I reach 5k followers (when adding up all my followers) I will start advertising. So yesterday I spent on setting up 5 accounts - all related to my "niche" if you can call it that, meaning most of them are called something like ***discount, ***prices, ***cheap etc. Today I sent out about ~200 requests on each account. I should mention that I already had 1100 followers on one account, and 450 on another. In order to keep a bit of secrecy I will not reveal the exact user names, so they will appear as "User #1", "User #2" etc listed as they are in my excel sheet. Followers: User #1 - 1096 followers User #2 - 450 followers User #3 - 1 follower The rest either have 0 or 1 follower. Please tell me if you wish that I keep updating my report.
I went and checked the amount of followers gained from yesterday and I noticed that the ones that included discount and price had gotten more followers than the ones containing the word cheap and deals - name selection must obviously mean something when people decide whether to follow back or not number of followers on my accounts: User 1: 1109 User 2: 470 User 3: 4 User 4: 11 User 5: 27 User 6: 20 User 7: 9 Total amount of followers: 1650
Nice experiment. Do you also plan to post how much your earn from advertising on this accounts? That will be really great.
Yes - once I start earning from it, i'll post the amounts though no screenshots cus they're fakeable anyway so not credible and im not sure if it's against any TOS to do so, but I'll try and answer as many questions as possible about my methods. Plan for the day - set up 7 new accounts add 250 followers to all accounts
I did not get to set up more accounts but i added about 250 followers to each user. here's the current situation User 1: 1113 User 2: 480 User 3: 11 User 4: 25 User 5: 40 User 6: 30 User 7: 18 Total: 1717 followers I know it is not going lightning speed but I still need to upscale more and optimise the accounts but it's a lot of boring work, and I prefer automised methods that generate money without a big effort from my side. My plan is to get 30 accounts and that way i can send out 7500 "follower requests" every session which would ideally bring about 300-500 new followers each time.
hummingbird - not promoting it i bet there's better software out there, but hummingbird gets the job done for me. If anyone knows any better software pls share it Otherwise I might hire a programmor to write some better software that I would then also have the resale rights for
I'm using TweetAttacks (free version) -- http://tweetattacks.com/free-twitter-marketing-software.html Not saying it's better then hummingbird but just another software that has my approval and is working like a charm for me.
mitch - they're a mixture i guess but when u upscale it sufficiently i guess it doesn't really matter. i mean ofc legit followers will increase sales but upscale it enough and you will still get results. There was another twitter report in the general marketing departement (wrong section?!) but she claimed that she was earning 3000$/month which is decent pockey money if it does not require that much work. Though I doubt her credibility as she seemed a bit too optimistic about some certain software. Anyway, real or not it inspired me to try myself and write a report. As I've got holidays till start september it's a nice summer project and I'll just abandon it if it's not worth it Unfortunately I will be on my laptop for a week and therefore not able to add more followers, but I believe I'll use it to set up more accounts instead and do some of the boring work...
Well it all depends on what audience you are targeting i guess too. if your targeting "Auto Insurance" I'm sure there is a much higher chance in getting false follwers, However on a niche like Mine... "Glee TV Show" most of the tweets/twitterers I target are fan based. I only have 500 followers with my 5 accounts but out of them 500 followers I'm bringing in at least 100 visitors/day via twitter from random tweets I'm posting about the show and updates about my site.
Interesting update.. I haven't done ANYTHING since my last post so I just went and checked my accounts today.. Guess what! I was insanely surprised when I found that I now have 1953 followers - 1717 last time i posted anything. This is just from sitting around and waiting for people to follow me backl. I think it's quite a dramatic increase in the number of followers. Though I know that I will now need to work on them again to gain more followers. I was simply unable to do anything as I was on holidays. I'll try and work a bit on it tomorrow. Very pleased to come home and see results even though it is yet to be converted into cash.
Late update. I've worked on my accounts since my last update. Set up new accounts which gives me a total of 18 accounts. Observation - Accounts with names related to my niche have quite a stable follow-follow back ratio. With those accounts you can expect 15%-20% to follow you back. I also set up accounts with girl names and girl photos. Exotic girls have a higher follow-back ratio than english chavy looking girl. You can get up to 30% following you back if name and picture is well combined. I now have 2341 followers. I must say I do not follow every day, so I guess I could've been around 3.5-4k followers had I done it properly but I'm in no urgent need of money so I'm taking it chill. If you want more info don't hesitate to ask! I'm considering publishing my report on my website, so that people won't have to scroll through pages of comments in order to read the update, but I would then just post a note in here saying it had been updated. Would that make it easier?
I would make it easier. I also think that some people might think that posting it on here is a great idea because they can leave comments without any issues. Not that leaving comments on your page would be an issue.
