How To Boost Your Twitter Followers FaceBook Likes etc.

I have a feeling that this post is going to be of major interest to most of my readers, especially those who want to increase their Twitter Followers, Facebook Likes, Google Plus Ones, Youtube views and yes, there is more!  :laugh_tb: When I got this offer in an email I simply had to try it out to see if it would work.

The site is called Free Twitter Followers and its free to join. It’s actually extremely easy to join. As you can see from the image below I’m actually a member and the way I joined was by clicking the ‘signup with twitter’ icon on the top right and hey presto, I’m a member. It was really as simple as that


The first thing I did was to set my interests so that I was presented with a set of members who had the same interests I did. I then went into settings and edited the retweets function as well as my YouTube videos. I didn’t need to do Twitter because that was done automatically when I joined. There are also options to add your FaceBook, Digg, Delicious and even your own site.

I found the YouTube function particularly interesting, just check out the image below.


As you can see, I’ve added two of my YouTube videos, I will do more later, and I am offering two credits per view to those interested. I’m assuming that every time someone views one of my videos my credits will be deducted by the value I’ve offered for the video viewed. Once again check the image below.


Take notice that each video offers a different amount of credits as well as a viewing time. Once you have watched the video for the required amount of time you earn those credits, credits which will be used for your own purposes, whether that it to increase your own YouTube views or to simply increase your social media followers.

It’s a very interesting concept. What do you think?

Spam Alert! How Many Emails Does It Take?

The other day I happened upon an interesting post written by Dan Sumner titled 8 Product Promotion Tips You Won’t Want To Miss. As I am want to do with interesting posts I left a comment, one that disagreed with one of the points that Dan made in his post. I got to give it to Dan, unlike some other posts where I disagreed with the blogger, Dan was most professional and we had pleasant discussion about it and by the end of it we both gave in a little saying that we were both partly right.

The discussion was about the the following point in Dan’s post.

Importance of the product – As I mentioned above. Your subscribers need to know how important this product is to them. One email just isn’t going to cut it. You need to email every day to get the message across. Drill it into your subscribers that they need this product. Many people need convincing that they need something that works!

How Many Emails Before The Spam Alarm Sounds?

In my comment I said to Dan that I thought an email a day promoting the same product was a bit over the top. Perhaps it would work with some people but if anyone was to do that to me I would jump ship and ditch that sucker.

According to Dan, “I have read a lot of research in one of the mastermind groups I am in and the numbers point to more sales after at least two emails on the same product. It does work. Some don’t open the first email due to title and time etc so you it’s always worth shooting a few email in a big promo”

OK, so maybe a second email wouldn’t go astray because not everyone will open the first one and so a second one may be needed, but how about a second, third, fourth or even more? Exactly how many emails promoting the same product are you willing to get before it pisses you off and you consider unsubscribing from the list?

Perhaps you wouldn’t unsubscribe at all? Perhaps you love getting these emails so much that you wouldn’t buy anything unless you get at least a half dozen emails, anything less just shows the guy on the other end isn’t really interested in selling his product?

I thought the best way to find out exactly how people feel about it would be to run a little poll.  :happy_tb:

Naturally, the more people who take part in the poll the better the results are going to be, so in order to get a great result now would be a great time to share this post by giving it a Stumble, Tweet or any of the other social sites that you’re a member of.

The List Is All About YOUR Money

When they say the money is in the list they are right on the money! The money is in the list but the problem is that most of the time it’s your money and not the other way around. If you think about it, most of the time, the person whose list you’ve just joined doesn’t care about you at all. The last thing on their mind is making you a fortune because all they’re really interested in is increasing their own.

It’s like when you used to get those phone calls telling you that they can show you how you can make a couple of thousand dollars a week. Now they ask for your email address so they can send you the information promising you a followup call. What do you think that followup call is going to be all about? They’re going to try and sell you something, that’s what!

How Not To Get Sucked In By Lists

Send Me Your Money

The way I look at it if those guys were making so much money why are they bothering me with it. It’s not because they want to share their good fortune, although that is what they want you to believe. Nope, they need you to buy whatever they’re selling so they can continue to live the life they’re used to.

The guy behind almost every list you’ve joined is just the same as the guy making those obnoxious phone calls. They don’t care about me, they’re only interested in getting their hands on my hard earned money. If they really were interested in me they would do more than just send me some generic email in the hope that I would buy whatever it is they were selling. You’d think the least they would do would be to personalize it somewhat. I don’t mean that they should send a different email to everyone on the list either. Nope, what I mean is they should personalize it by writing something that tells me exactly what it can do for me. Most won’t though because they have no idea what the product their selling does because they haven’t actually outlaid the money to buy their own.

But never mind all that. You want to know how not to get sucked into buying stuff from lists you’ve subscribed to. Read the rest of this entry
