About two weeks ago I wrote that I never got the idea with Twitter. About a week ago I decided to give it all one more chance, using some ideas and tools I recently discovered. The results so far are very promising, I will continue to Twitter.

Twitter is quite similar to mobile SMS. I really can’t understand how SMS has grown so very successful. I mean, isn’t it just a lot quicker to just call the person and say what’s on your mind. No need to type message on a device that really isn’t made for text input. Just use your voice, its faster and more natural.

I can list a number of drawbacks with SMS over old fashioned talk but SMS has two big advantages: You are forced to be brief and to the point since your message can only be so many characters long. You can read your SMS’s when you have the time.

So Twitter is like SMS for computers, but you can write your tweets with a real keyboard, something at least I value a lot.

So let’s recap

The last week I setup a brand new Twitter account and as I wrote on this blog how to twitter I practiced what I preached on that account.
I have automated post to my twitter feed so it is updated automatically when I post in the blog. I have added plugins to my blog to make it easy for readers to pass on posts they like to their followers and I did some more tricks to get followers. I also use this account for manual tweets when I feel like it and writes about updates on the site-hype software as a service to out members.

Using these techniques have gain on average 10 new followers each day, this is without doing much work at all, no pressure all leverage, and I have parted with no money. To build my email list at this rate I would have to do a lot more work unless I wanted to pay for ads.

I have not yet come to test conversion rate from my twitter followers compared to my email list. I haven’t send out any offers yet to the list. I will post results on that as well when I have something to share.
