Isn't it Ironic - Twitter Tactics

Well, it's slightly ironic, anyway, as long as you take Alanis Morissette's definition of irony...

... my one-hundredth post on this blog is about Twitter.

Anyway, there are probably a thousand Twitter tactics I don't know about yet, but I've just found the limitations of one tactic that a lot of new tweeters employ, which we might call 'follow you-follow me'.

This is where we build a list of followers by following other people with the tacit understanding that they'll follow us back. Most people will follow us back, and so our list of followers grows almost as quickly as we can click the 'follow' button on all those profiles.

The problem is with the 'most people will' bit, added to Twitter's rules that say you can't realistically follow more than 2000 people (actually 2001). Because there's a percentage of people who don't automatically (or manually) 'follow back', you will always have fewer followers than you do 'followees' (people you follow).

And the ratio between the two is just a bit too much to get you past the 2000 limit that Twitter sets. Using this tactic will get you around 1600 followers. My list stuck on around 1650 each time I reached the magic 2001 followees.

So, what's the solution?

Actually, it's easy and I'm going to prove it! Post more valuable tweets. In other words, build a following because of your contribution to Twitter World rather than by trying to use it solely for your own ends. Then people will follow you first, before you follow them, because you're worth following. Your posts will also get retweeted because they're worth passing on.

And you'll be popular for all the right reasons: people will actually like you!

That will probably be better for your business, too.

You're welcome to follow me, of course, whether you like me or not!

Taking Massive and Decisive Action

Hello again

Sixty-five years ago today, the allied forces undertook one of the most massive and decisive military actions of all time, when they invaded the beaches of Normandy to begin the re-possession of the European mainland.

What has that got to do with your life in 2009 and beyond?

Well, there's a lesson there if you care to take it: massive and decisive action usually means taking some kind of risk - investing a lot to get the result you need. When the pain of not taking action finally exceeds the pain of doing something; that's when most of us finally act.

That is, as Malcolm Gladwell would say, the 'Tipping Point'. Have you reached your tipping point yet?

Is the pain of not having enough money to see you through finally big enough to tip you into doing something about it?

Or at least thinking about what you can do?

If so, go here, to find out about the Secrets of Multiple Streams of Income from the brilliant (and multiple-wealthy) Ron G Holland.

And then take real action by saving yourself over 33% of the cost of changing your life.

There is absolutely no comparison with the 'investment' made by thousands of people sixty-five years ago.

But the rewards; freedom, security, seeing your loved ones relaxed and happy, are strangely similar.
