Internet Marketers Billion Dollar Mistake on Twitter

Is it really about YOU on Twitter? This is a short post about a serious concern that I have about Internet marketers on Twitter.

There has been a recent trend where certain Internet marketers are dropping all of the people they follow. They are saying that they can’t reasonably follow the tens sometimes hundreds of thousands of followers. Whats worst is that they don’t read their DM’s which I can somewhat understand. Because the SPAM DM’s being sent. But if the only way people have to contact you is to @reply back and you don’t even do that then WOW (wonder of wonders).

It is as if you took a phone and broke off the receiver end.

It is as if you sent emails to your email list from a “no-reply email” (a BIG email marketing no no).

And there is no excuse with the creation of lists to say you have issues following everyone. One of the greatest ways to see what people following you are actually thinking and doing and you are breaking off communication? Big mistake.

To add insult to injury I recently received an email from a famous blogger who was explaining WHY he was dropping his followers. Yet the email after that one he is advising his readers to follow back on Twitter. Plus he is advising them to sell advertisements on their twitter messages (tweets) which I am 1000% against.

Maybe that’s why I have issues being called a “Internet Marketer” vs someone who does marketing on the Internet.
