Twitter – Successful Management Of The Follow Limit

admin    Twitter     Follow, Limit, Management, Successful, Twitter

Are you following 2,000 people on Twitter yet? And how many are following you? More than 2,000? Or maybe far fewer… and if it is fewer, you may have reached the dreaded Follow Ceiling.

In the good old days of Twitter (if something as relatively young as this can be said to have ‘good old days’) there were no follow limits. You could just follow as many people as you felt like following — regardless of how many people followed you.

As Twitter has become more popular, this has changed. They have had to set some limits on how many people you can follow. One such limit is the 2,000 followed rule.

I quote from the Twitter Support area:

We do not limit the number of people who can follow you, but we have put limits in place to stop people from aggressively following others. Everyone is allowed to follow 2,000 people. After that, follow limits are based on the number of people who are following you.

Can You Only Follow 2,000 Tweeple?

Well, not exactly. What it does mean, however, is that once you are following 2,000 people, you have to start balancing the number of people you follow, based on how many follow you.

One way to do this balancing act is to unfollow people until the number of your followers more closely aligns with the number of people you are following.

How Do You Know Whom You Should Unfollow?

One rule of thumb is that you might stop following people who are not contributing regularly on the Twitter stream. Or whose Tweets are not all that interesting to you.

Another consideration might be that you could unfollow people who do not follow you back.

However, remember that there are many market leaders and up-and-comers whose Tweets are well worth following for the value they offer, but they don’t follow many people themselves. You’ll probably want to continue to follow them.

How Can You Find Out Those You Follow but Who Aren’t Following You?

Well, you can log in to your Twitter account and, on your home page, click on ‘View All’ under the pictures of people you are following. You will now see everyone you are following, and if they follow you back, you will see a ‘Direct message’ text link under their Twitter name. If there is no ‘Direct message’ text link, then they don’t follow you.

To stop following anyone in your list (whether they follow you or not), just click the ‘remove’ link on the right. You’ll have to do this one person at a time, but you can do it all from this page.

Add More Organization to Your Follow/Follower Management

If you want to save some time and have this information better organized for you, a really easy website to use is http://dossy.org/twitter/karma to help make this process even easier.

When you log in to this site, you are required to give your Twitter login information and an account is created under your Twitter login. Once you create your account, you can check the following with a click of the ‘Whack!’ button:

==> A list of those who are following you, but you are not following them back.

==> A list of those whom you are following who are also following you.

==> A list of those you are following, but who are not following you back.

It’s these last two groups you will want to inspect for people to unfollow if you need to balance your ‘following’ and ‘followers’ lists.

The most useful group for these purposes is the one show by the setting ‘Showing ==> Only Following’ — this will give you a list of just those whom you are following, but who are not following you.

You can now move quickly through that list, clicking the boxes to select those names you want to unfollow. If there are a bunch of people you want to stop following in this group, scroll to the bottom of the page and ‘Check All.’ Then unclick the relatively fewer names you don’t want to unfollow.

Lastly, scroll down and click on the ‘Bulk Unfollow’ button. And, like magic, you have unfollowed a bunch of people who weren’t following you back, and you have made your Following/Follower list more balanced.

You can also use this to select those who are following you, but you aren’t following them. Then click each one you want to follow to select them (or use ‘Check All’) and scroll down and click ‘Bulk Follow’ to follow them all.

Manage the Tweeple you follow carefully when you get close to following 2,000, and you can break through that Follow Limit with ease!

Article marketing methods may vary from article to article marketer. But remember proper keyword research is the soul of every successful article marketing promotion. If you want to find out top 2 keyword mistakes made by some article marketers, then read on this article carefully. 

All article marketing methods should include professional keyword research. 

So Here Are Top 2 Keyword Mistakes Made By Some Article Marketers: 

1.    Using High-Competitive Keywords. 

I always wonder when I see affiliate marketing articles with high-competitive keywords. It is fool to believe that you will quickly rank on the 1st page of Google with such short-term, high-competitive keywords. Of course, you may refuse that these keywords generate highest traffic. I agree, but at best you can get only a minor part of that traffic, because big competitors have already been on the first page of Google for months or years. 

2.    Researching For Keywords Only on One Tool – Google Adwords Keyword Research.  

To find out the best low-competitive or even non-competitive keywords for your article marketing promotion should research on several tools instead of only one.  So here are my tips for proper keyword research: 

Google Adwords Tool 

First I use this tool to find out most profitable keywords for my affiliate campaigns. 

Yahoo Answers

Then I go to yahoo answers and search for related questions. The most asked questions are usually keyword rich. So I include these keywords in my list too. 

Amazon Products Description. 

My third little secret is looking through descriptions of Amazon’s bestseller products related to certain niche. 

Just try to avoid the above-mentioned 2 mistakes while implementing article marketing methods and you will see how successful you are with your article marketing promotion campaigns.

The Secret to Successful Twitter Marketing

admin    Twitter     Marketing, Secret, Successful, Twitter

The world is all abuzz about Twitter. Everybody from the mainstream media to celebrities to your Great Aunt Millie has at least heard of Twitter. Twitter has been used for everything from a critical communications link to the outside world during the Iranian Elections to Ashton Kutcher sharing a picture of Demi Moore in her underwear. The opportunities presented by this captive audience and its almost fanatical fan base should have you drooling!

Guess what? You are not the only one with that idea and thousands of would be Twitter marketers are trying to grab their share of the gold rush before the claim pinches out. Most will fail. The ‘average’ Twitter user is becoming jaded when it comes to Internet Marketing and thus even choosier on who they follow. Let’s ensure your next Twitter campaign is a successful campaign. In this article I will provide you with the secret to successful Twitter marketing in 2009.

Twitter’s enormous popularity, like all social media, is built on implicit trust. As an example of that implicit trust mechanism, Twitter only allows you to DM (Twitter shorthand for direct message) those that follow you. The (truly) brilliant minds at Twitter assumed that if a person trusts you enough to follow you, that they trust you enough to accept a direct message.

The trust mechanism built into Twitter ensures that the only successful method of marketing on Twitter requires followers.  Surely you’ve heard from the Twitter gurus who recommend that you go out and buy an expensive tool, usually from their affiliate link, and mass follow complete strangers, hoping they follow you back and Twitter doesn’t ban your account?   So how does my method differ?  Notice that I said marketing on Twitter requires followers.  Those followers don’t necessarily need to be YOUR FOLLOWERS.  Don’t get me wrong, having your own legion of loyal followers is definitely an asset, but many Twitter marketers do not have that luxury when they are first beginning to utilize the Twitter system for marketing.

The true secret to utilizing Twitter as a marketing tool is to embrace the viral nature of the Twitter itself. You might only have 100 followers, but if each of those followers has 100 followers, now you have the basis of a campaign. One problem remains however, those followers still don’t have any reason to trust you. You need to find a way of reaching the followers of your followers (or website and / or blog visitors). You need a bridge to get over the trust chasm that divides you from the hordes of faithful minions that follow your followers.

The best Twitter strategy to build that bridge and complete the chain of trust is to get your website visitors to retweet (RT in Twitter shorthand) your message to their followers. For example, provide a form on your website or blog that encourages your visitors to tweet your message. This is where your creativity needs to come into play. Craft a compelling Tweet with a subtle, but effective, call to action and then promise your visitor (and deliver) a free report or discount coupon after they complete the act of retweeting your message. For example, a very popular method currently is to conduct Twitter contests. In exchange for an entry into your contest, your website visitor agrees to retweet your message. One company just completed a contest in which they gave away one Macbook a day for ten days. During the span of the contest, this company’s retweets trended higher than Michael Jackson’s death!

Even the most experienced Internet Marketers forget this one simple concept – viral marketing is successful marketing!  Your website or blog visitors trust you. The Twitter followers of your visitor trust them. By encouraging your visitors to retweet your message to their followers, there is now an implied trust in you and your message; the trust chasm has been bridged!

Marketing with Twitter virally also had an added benefit. If the follower of your visitor agrees with your message, they will happily follow you! Thus not only are you fully exploiting the very viral nature of Twitter, but you are also building up your ever important followers list, readily available for future efforts!

Do Not Self Promote on Twitter! Promoting your own message is the easiest way to lose followers and potentially get clobbered by the dreaded Twitter ban hammer. Don’t let others lead you to believe that Twitter itself is dead.  Twitter profits are still there for the taking, however now is the time to get creative and rethink your Twitter marketing strategy to fully exploit the very viral nature of the Twitter that makes the service so popular to begin with!
