Funny thing Twitter, I was in there early before it got crazy popular but didn’t do enough with it when it started to run away with itself. I was working with the Wizardgold name which came across from what I was doing with the betting strategy podcasts and only recently have I got other Twitter accounts that are suitable to what I do now with the 20 Questions web sites. I have the Mac20Q, Video20Q, Spondicious, Photo20Q. I got these mostly to stop other people taking the name and pretending to be me. But now I think it is a great idea to have multiply personas online and to separate the identities on the social networks.
Today I decided to give a system a try called Twitter Guru Elite. It did cost 19 dollars but I thought what the hell. It was promising big increases in my twitter numbers daily, in the 300 range and that the people following would be as far as is humanly possible be worth having. They claim to stop the bots and let the real people through. I was a bit sceptical and when I started I thought the information on how to get started was a bit skimpy. I struggled to find out how to do some of the basics but persevered.
Basically the way it works is by looking at people that are interested in the topics that you are interested in and see who their followers are. You put them in the system as a ‘Feeder’ and go through the list of followers and add them to a queue to follow by your account. Obviously it has to be a bit clever because Twitter has follower limits so the system has to monitor how many followers you have and how many following. When you get more following then the queue is used to follow some more. It keeps the balance right for your Twitter account.
Despite my initial worries that I had wasted 19 dollars I have been quite happy with the way it has gone. It was a little weird when on account which had 8 followers dropped down to 4. But then the thing started to work and the numbers went in the right direction. The next picture is after about 5 hours and look quite healthy in terms of growth.
I will have another look at this in the morning to see how the numbers are looking again. As you can see I was able to work with 2 Twitter accounts with this tool to increase my followers. The best thing of all is that the followers are likely to be interested in what I am offering and that means I will be able to get the Podcast in front of more people. That is what I am doing this for, promotion of the 20 Questions Brand.
This snapshot is from 10am the next morning, so about 11 hours later than the last picture. Quite impressive really. I will post up a new picture in 24 hours.
