There’s only one right way to use twitter, and I am about to reveal to you the secret. It will blow your mind, so get all prepared.
Are you prepared?
I can wait.
Okay, good. Here it is: Stop trying to game twitter. Use it the way it was intended. Use actual human interaction. Pick your followers by hand, post everything yourself, and don’t schedule posts to happen at a later time.
You think I’m kidding? I decided to offer up my twitter account in a little experiment for you:
I used SocialToo to auto follow anyone that was following me and had a spam score of less than whatever their default spam score is. I started with my hand picked 1,521 people I was following, and spent two days using their system. I am now following 3,272 people and received over 450 auto dm’s in my inbox. I hardly ever receive auto direct messages because I hand choose who to follow. And, now I have to go through my twitter list and get rid of all the fake accounts. This is not a time saver–so stop using these websites! Instead, do it the old fashioned way and actually network and interact with the people on your list.
That’s the key to the twitter. Just be yourself. It’s like dating–only you can do it in your jammies.
