What I am going to discuss will ruffle a couple of feathers on the way, if you have sensitive skin I advise you turn from reading through the rest of this article -- particularly if you are among the tweeters I am referring to below. So why am I choosing to talk about a twitter marketing secret that's a little blunt and in your face?

Because telling the truth about using twitter the "most effective" way is, well...

inconvenient.

Let's face it. It gives us a warm fuzzy feelings inside when we think we've accomplished a lot building this massive list of tweeters on auto-pilot. It kind of makes us feel like we "did a lot of something", when in reality -- "we did a lot of nothing".

Don't misquote me. Using tools to help speed up the process of finding quality twitter users is valuable. It saves us time. But what these tools can NOT do is replace building real relationships which DOES take time, no matter how you slice it.

If you look at a few internet marketers twitter accounts, you'll discover a lot of them are using these tools to artificially boost their followers so they can eventually sell secrets on how they got 100,000,000 followers in less than 48 hours. Not "all" of them are like that, but a few of them do have those intentions to sell you the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I don't care how many followers YOU get, be selective of those you're following.

Come to terms that many of those who follow you, do so on the condition you follow them. But sometimes, those people just aren't worth following. What you'll find is nothing short of amazing...

If you received 100 clicks for every link you tweeted to 500 people, and grew your followers by 1500 to a total of 2000 followers, if you deleted those 1500 posers you'll get the same results then as you did BEFORE the extra followers -- because you have the same quality followers now, as you did than who really appreciate your content.

In other words, you're better off connecting with a smaller groups and building relationships with a few people at a time while letting your social influence grow naturally to the point where it reaches critical mass.

The best tweeps are those who have 200 followers, follows 20 - 30 twitters, has been using the same twitter account for at LEAST a full year, and makes 1 or 2 tweets a day consistently than you are following a "copycat" who's sole intention is to spam the hell out of it's 10 thousand followers.
