The most successful businesses are those that take the time to actually build a genuine rapport with their customers, rather than just playing a numbers game to hit a bottom line revenue forecast.

I understand that one can also feel entitled or have a sense of entitlement, but I don’t believe that is the only use for that word. I could be mistaken. Please educate me, if so.

Glad you like the post – with the exception of my apparent grammatical faux pas, that is.

Keep in mind, though, that some people don’t choose who to follow and who not to follow thanks to the stupidity that is
“the auto-follow”. That’s where the Twitter spammers come into play and why there has been such a huge influx of them trying to tell you how to get your free laptop…how they made $3,333 dollars in 10 minutes…how to keep from having your house foreclosed on…how to get a free iPhone, etc. in recent weeks.

If you haven’t been getting those followers, consider yourself lucky, Roger. I get about 20 of them a day. They’re annoying and even opening the e-mail and clicking on the link to view their profile – which is often suspended within minutes of my receiving the e-mail – wastes enough of my time every day to piss me off. I could just stop checking out the profiles of my new followers, but I like knowing who’s following me and checking out their profiles. I won’t let Twitter spammers rob me of that.

Then if you’ve got content of your own to share, do it. If you pass along nothing but your own stuff from the get-go, it won’t be long before people catch on and put you in the “tool” category, too.

How can anyone get spam on Twitter, Am I missing something here?

Did I not agree to follow this Person.

It is easy to remove that person if you think you
are getting Spam.

Rare bears

In the beginning I used Twitter like I use Facebook, a quite conservative approach.

Then I saw all the spamming, and reached the conclusion – you need to be more active and a bit spammy to get into Twitter.

I get a lot of good info from the people I follow and some of the are in fact spamming me – but with some good content.

I found that it is a great way to promote my blog’s content nowadays, but that’s just the icing on the cake of having connected with so many people to begin with without trying to market anything.

Nicely done.

It’s getting really good in there, don’t put yourself out of all the good stuff. He’s right, don’t “monetize Twitter, c’mon people. leave Twitter alone and enjoy what unfolds when you stop trying to bring your marketing game and just connect.
