A lot of people out there seem to be under the impression that many followers' means many sales. Not wanting to burst a bubble but that is not the case.
What is the point in having thousands of followers if they are not really interested in you or your products? Many of them will follow you to try and raise their own profile. Grab hold of your coat tails.
It is better to have carefully selected followers and people that have a greater chance of connecting with you.
If you are into internet marketing and want to promote of sell a product/service then just surrounding your self with so called internet marketers will not guarantee results. Many of them will be a lot like you and this will not always be a benefit.
Take estate agents for an example. If you are looking at estate agents you will find that each town will have one main place where all the estate agents are. In this case it is a benefit as they will not usually be selling the same homes as each other. If one doesn't have what you are looking for then the next will.
In the case of internet marketing this can be a problem. If you are promoting a home business opportunity for example then what will make yours different from the next. In most cases the opportunity will be very good however it will come down to you and what you have to offer. Remember that people buy people not products.
You do not want to be just another copy cat shoving out the same old rubbish and hoping for the best. You could but you won't get far.
The only way to really generate followers that are into you is to advertise you. At the end of the day there is only one of you and if you are yourself and steer clear of copying everything then people will relate to you and you will be able to connect with them.
Followers can make you money but they have to be real followers. Keep your information straight and to the point.
If you are reading this then you have realised its message and are on the right tract.
I wish you all the best.

This is a great post because I think way too many people think this very way, more followers more money. Thank your for clearing this up and teaching the masses that to really be successful you have to gain the confidence and trust of your followers before you start throwing products at them. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this, I am one of those who thought that because I had a lot of twitter followers(who I don't really know, if at all)I was going to make money because I assumed they would click or buy anything I threw at them. Now that I know this is not the case, I will focus on doing it the right way. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteReal followers crave honesty and the more honest you are with your followers the more you can eventually make money. Having good followers is like having good friends the more they trust you, the stronger the friendship.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up I was just about to use one of those sites that gets you 10,000 twitter followers. I had thought that this would get me hits and traffic and essentially money now that I know that is not the case, I will get followers the correct way. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I am totally on board with this, it is good to know that honesty is still a key factor these days in being successful. Being straight with your audience always pays off for you in the end.
ReplyDeleteI guess I won't pay money for the twitter followers if none of them are legit. Thanks for the heads up. Great stuff here too I really had a good read and feel like I know alot more about having good followers.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those who bought 5,000 followers from one of those sites and it hasn't really paid off because not one of them is reaally interested in what I really have to say. I thought that more followers means more profit. Thanks for the heads up and I will make sure to remeber this now with my many usless followers. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing post and so good to know this. I am a someone who is going to put these things to use. Having good followers is more important to me than having thousands of them.
