Anyone following 52,304 people on Twitter is not listening to a word you say!
I always start these entries with the disclaimer: “I am NOT a social media guru.” There are plenty of people out there making that claim and I do not want my name added to the list. I am however, attempting to make social media “pay off” for me just like everyone else is – however they might define payoff. I’m just hanging on for the wild ride I call ‘learning curve!”
Whether your tweeting something of importance or not is a matter of finding tweeters that share your agenda in some way or another. If you have a strategy, good followers and people to follow are really not that hard to find. And if you’re tweetin’ good stuff, a lot of them will find you.
But even if your tweets aren’t worth a crap, the twitter spammers, mass marketers and other people who only want to extract your wallet for their next get rich quick scheme will find you. You’ll recognize them because they have 49,165 followers and will be following 52,304 other people – or some other equally ridiculous number! (No, the numbers have not been changed to protect the innocent) I see a lot of these, they can follow me all they want but I REFUSE to become a member of their gullible herd.
