You Might Want To Try This…
By Sean | January 20, 2010
Anyone reading my blog knows that I’ve been building my Twitter account rather cautiously. I built every user (except those who found me) manually and carefully. I attempted a couple of automated tools and did not like the impersonal and uncontrollable way they built accounts.
I recently posted a request for anyone who’d tried a particular twitter building service — but nobody got back to me — so I finally just signed up. That’s right I the plunge and tried a different service that I thought had more potential than the others I’d looked at because it was designed to target particular interest groups and do so automatically and for a very low price.
I opened a new twitter account instead of using my main one because I did not want the results confused and I did not want to pollute this account with any results that were impersonal or worse — robotic in nature.
Sure enough it worked exactly as good as they claimed. In 11 days I got over 1200 followers all with similar interests and did not manually follow or unfollow anyone. It really has built the list automatically and carefully without waving any red flags at twitter or its terms of service.
I love the fact that managing it is completely hands off. All I do is tweet with my followers which makes using my twitter account so much more pleasant. So far it has cost me less than two cents per follower. If I followed 500 tweeple in one hour about 250 of them would follow me back on average. 500 in an hour is very fast and very tiring to do and also considering that I’d also have to purge 250 of them from the list which would take another 10 to 15 minutes — I’d be getting less than 250 followers for an hours work.
Assuming 2 cents per follower I’d be making a paltry 5.00 an hour for my time and I’d not be getting any more targeted (towards my interests) followers than I’d get manually. In fact they’d be less targeted because I’d be manually approving their profiles and I could not filter quality followers with similar interests at that speed.
If you want to check it out for yourself take a look at this video. You don’t even have to sign up for it.
