			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well the old marketing term it is all in the list.<br />
If you have 2,000 plus followers and send out a tweet you will have a percentage of interested parties’ dependent on your subject.</p>
<p>Like you I do not have time to spend hours on twitter to follow, unfollow and search groups.<br />
I want this part to be automated. </p>
<p>I found out later the biggest problem is finding your followers quickly and keeping track of the ones that unfollow you.</p>
<p>I needed and I’m sure you will agree Finding your niche or subject groups and getting them to join fast is the name of the game.</p>
<p>I decided to research what application would bring the growth of followers to a new twitter account.</p>
<p>Two programs I paid for are <a href="http://twittollower.com/amember/go.php?r=1820&#038;i=l0">Twittollower</a> then one month later <a href=" http://www.tweetadder.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=4726">Tweet Adder </a>.</p>
<p>Below are my results:</p>
<p>If you have not heard about Twittollower the video you can click below:<br />
<a href="http://twittollower.com/amember/go.php?r=1820&#038;i=l0">Watch The Video</a></p>
<p>For more about tweet adder click the link below:<br />
<a href="http://www.tweetadder.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=4726">tweet adder</a></p>
<p>The Twittollower site talks about having 2,000 followers within one month. This seemed like the opportunity that I was looking for.<br />
The part that made me jump was I did not even need to post any comments but it was suggested that I place a few meaningful tweets. I entered the niche IM (Internet marketing)<br />
(A huge market) with a new account. http://www.Twitter.com/mikeholthuysen on Feb 07th</p>
<p>I expected to just sit back and watch the followers grow to 4k or more within the 2 months.<br />
After the first month I still did not have the anticipated 2,000 followers.</p>
<p>I submitted a support ticket with a quick response that they could not understand the reason my followers were low. Tahir was meeting with the programmers to address this problem. </p>
<p>At the end of the second month (April 7, 2010) I had only 2,461 followers. Hey I’m short 1,500 of the stated 4,000 I was expecting.</p>
<p>I followed the rules for <a href="http://twittollower.com/amember/go.php?r=1820&#038;i=l0">Twittollower</a>.</p>
<ol>
<li>Do not follow or unfollow due to the percentage ratio this may cause problems with your account.</li>
<li>It is also suggested not to use any automated services as it may clash with the operation of <a href="http://twittollower.com/amember/go.php?r=1820&#038;i=l0">Twittollower</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>I made a list of what <a href="http://twittollower.com/amember/go.php?r=1820&#038;i=l0">Twittollower</a> would not let me do.</p>
<ul>
<li>Search – followers / niche</li>
<li>Follow / sends follows / sends follow backs / complies with ratio so your account is not closed.</li>
<li>Unfollow and only unfollow users that were added with the software or service.</li>
<li>Send preset messages to send at any time frame, as well as my choice of time delays or direct tweets</li>
</ul>
<p>Most twitters use bit.ly for tracking and sending links but I wanted this in one place so no jumping from browser to browser copying and pasting links. </p>
<p>I wanted to be able to insert the URL into a box so it will automatically shorten and add that link to the end of my tweet with the same options of bit.ly so I could track time and other statistics for that URL.</p>
<p>I want to have the option of sending Pre-set tweets to post as well as what times to send them.<br />
A Pre-set message to randomly reply that automates post updates and replies maintaining twitters daily maximum limit<br />
Miscellaneous function to Delete DM (direct messages) by way of urls or all leaving a specific number if wanted. For Example leave last 10 newest messages.</p>
<p>I found and use <a href=" http://www.tweetadder.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=4726">Tweet Adder </a> that allows updating and tracking multiple twitter accounts.</p>
<p><strong>This is a one time payment not monthly service.</strong></p>
<p>I now have more control to change my niche or keyword and increase followers.</p>
<p>Imagine searching twitter followers by:
<ul>
<li>Search by profile data</li>
<li>Search by tweet keywords</li>
<li>Search by location</li>
<li>Search by followers of another User</li>
<li>Search by followed by another user</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>You can see the growth potential with this program.</strong></p>
<p>A software program that displays statistics for all your twitter accounts!<br />
A To Do list  &#8211; click the tab and do that task or set it to automation.</p>
<ul>
<li>List of users to follow showing live statistics just click a button and the program does the work!</li>
<li>To unfollow showing live statistics just click a button and the program does the work</li>
<li>To follow back showing live statistics just click a button and the program does the work</li>
<li>Updates to post showing live statistics just click a button and the program does the work</li>
</ul>
<p>The next step shows stats by
<ul>
<li>today</li>
<li>7 days</li>
<li>30 days</li>
<li>all time</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>follows sent  with  live statistics</li>
<li>follows with  live statistics</li>
<li>followers lost with  live statistics</li>
<li>conversion rate percentage</li>
<li>messages sent with  live statistics</li>
<li>twitter updates with  live statistics</li>
</ol>
<p>I like real time statistics that show me results being accomplished and tweet adder show this information.</p>
<p>I do not need to spend hours looking and updating followers and unfollowers that need to be done on twitter. </p>
<p>What I hate is that many people promote Twittollower with less than 2,000 followers. LOL </p>
<p>The <a href="http://twittollower.com/amember/go.php?r=1820&#038;i=l0">Twittollower</a> program did not fulfill what they stated 2,000 followers or in my case 4,000 in two months. </p>
<p>I admit that <a href=" http://www.tweetadder.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=4726">Tweet Adder </a> will take a short time to setup but it is worth it in the end.<br />
I now use <a href=" http://www.tweetadder.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=4726">Tweet Adder </a> for my twitter accounts and waiting for a refund from Twittollower of my 2nd month payment.</p>
<p>I hope this will help all future tweeters.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I have talked too many to see if there is an answer.</p>
<p>Comments like “They join get the gift, then unsubscribe” are common.<br />
Let’s look at the positive parts of giveaway events. </p>
<p><strong>If your product or service brings value they will return.</strong></p>
<p>You will always hear from any Internet marketer “<strong>The money is in the list</strong>”.</p>
<p>Names you might recognize:<br />

<center><strong>Why?</strong></center></p>
<p>Because they work, Period!<br />
These top marketers would not keep attending or holding events if no one responded.</p>
<p>After realizing this “Fact” I am holding with Scott Case a gifts event at:<br />

JV contributors – Aug 31 to Sept 14<br />
Members           &#8211; Sept 15 to Sept 22</p>
<p>Now my Cash Prizes for JV Contributors might have something to do with it.<br />
Hey top <strong>Prize of $500</strong> Cash is pretty sweet.</p>
<p>So as of Today I will put my 2 cents in and say Giveaway and gift events are alive and Very responsive.</p>
<p>Now if you have a list or want to create a list with a chance for one of the cash prizes, or the top prize of $500.</p>
