A Twitter Ho? Oh No!
April 10, 2010
I have this nice little website about books that is just taking off like a rocket. So I decided to get more involved in Twitter than my usual wont.
I followed a bunch of people that are relevant and got 12 followers back. Since it’s “important” to have lots of followers, I found a list of people “most likely to follow” me back. Then I signed up with a site that’s an “I promise to follow you and you promise to follow me” type thing, and now the site’s email is packed with Twitter emails from online marketers and get rich quick wannabees.
The thing is, not one of them has anything to do with the topic of my site, and now I feel like I’ve whored myself out. As a result, I’ve decided I’d rather have 12 relevant followers than 2,000 people who are following me solely to to ramp up their number of followers.
Twitter can be awesome for businesses; I know that, and in fact, will be writing more about that very thing. But the whole contest to see who’s got the most followers is not what it should be all about.
