I didn’t understand Twitter when I first used it! But I plodded onward and within days was lovin it!! Quick and easy to chat to people all over the world. Nice short comments; nothing complicated. Simple to add people. I soon built up the numbers. I knew in the long run it would help my business. And it did. People would click on my links and go to my sites! Great.
But months later my interest waned. Because Twitter got boring. The bots and spammers had taken over. Every Tweet was a link. No-one talked anymore. I would go on, get bored and get off.
But now I’ve found the answer. TheTwitCleaner! He’s a very nice man who will get rid of all the rubbish for you! And he doesn’t get you in trouble with Twitter for unfollowing too many at a time. Twitter had stopped all the tools which let you unfollow everyone who wasn’t following you. But TheTwitCleaner does a few everyday, so you don’t get in trouble. He brings up a page with all the bots and spammers on and as you hover your cursor over each one, it tells you what they tweet. Such as 85% links, no interaction.
So you decide if there are any you want to keep, then he removes the rest slowly over the next week or two. I only had to pay $5 as I have about 7,000 followers, but I think it is free if you only have a few followers. Easily worth the money!!
So I have realised that I am probably as guilty of mis-using Twitter as the bots. Just like all social media sites, you need to be social. You must interact with others. Go for quality not quantity. Like me, the majority of people who come on Twitter add as many followers as they can as quickly as they can. This, in hindsight, is totally wrong. If you run a home business as I do, your followers need to be very targeted, otherwise why would they be interested in your tweets? Clearly if you want to get results from Twitter, your followers must be interested in your product or service.
You can’t sell cat food to someone with no cats, can you??
I for one, am going back to the way I was when I first used Twitter. I would ReTweet anything that I found interesting to my followers. And help other business owners by ReTweeting their links. Now, you may think this is mad, but think about it. If another person ReTweeted your links to their followers, what would you do?? Well you would probably ReTweet one of their links. Exactly.
I will also ask questions and offer help and advice. Even freebies. Anything I can to give value, so that people start to associate you with giving valuable information and being a lovely person. And thank people, when they ReTweet or say something nice about you!
So come and join me and let’s make Twitter what it should be, a friendly and fun social site, with a side order of business!
