Twitter may be your ticket to Internet Stardom It’s funny because we know many of you have heard of those so called “once in a lifetime opportunities”.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you see those opportunities everywhere.
Truthfully, and if we were betting men (and sometimes we are), we would say that Twitter is a once in a lifetime opportunity for virtually anybody. Here’s 7 reasons to ignite your light to internet stardom
1. Twitter is growing at an amazing rate and its been said that twitter users, are on twitter for longer periods of time, compared to users on other social media networks.
2. Twitter easily integrates with blogs and/or websites.
3. The amount of available twitter clients, tools and apps (more and more are being released every single day) allow for almost unheard of customization and flexibility.
4. You can spread the news about your brand, product or service at the speed of lightning. (even faster than traditional media like CNN, ESPN, etc) That’s why they use Twitter.
5. There’s no limit on how to use Twitter (be it personally and/or professionally) with even more ways being created all the time. Some top brand companies use twitter for special offers, customer service and more.
6. Twitter’s climate is the perfect breeding ground from the high profile celebrity to joe the plumber and every business marketing owner in between.
7. Twitter is now the default for spreading news and information and it is a preferred way by many to connect with people all across planet earth. Our future with communication has officially changed for the good.

Buying Twitter Followers is a waste of money

Buying Twitter Followers is a waste of money
-by Al Ferretti and Skeeter Hansen
You may have noticed people advertising something like or similar to, “How to get thousands of followers in a certain amount of time.” Simply said, buying followers is a waste of money. This is because the followers you will receive are mostly non-targeted. This means that the people following you have little or no interest in what you are tweeting about on Twitter.
Focus on quality over quantity. If you are using Twitter for business, it’s important that you have targeted followers. For example, if you are a wellness expert, you would want to target people who have an interest in health and wellness. It would be a waste of your money to get bunch of followers who express no interest in health and wellness.
When you buy twitter followers, you are mainly buying followers generated randomly by bots that are typically non-targeted. Non targeted followers typically will not build a relationship with you nor will they purchase your product or service. Even if you have millions of followers that are non targeted.
To capture targeted followers try using Twitter’s search to find people who are interested in what you have to offer. For example, type in the hashtag (#) followed by health or wellness. Example #health or #wellness
You’ll discover a bunch of people who are talking or “tweeting” about health or wellness. Additionally, Twellow.com is a helpful 3rd party twitter tool that enables you to find and follow people in your niche.
If people have the same or similar interest as you, they will most likely follow you, especially if you following them. Save your money and follow targeted people, you’ll be glad that you did.
