My Marketing Experiment.com

Archive for January, 2010

On Day 3 I didn’t get a lot done….   I only used my software to follow friends to three of my twitter accounts…  I was doing other things and didn’t take the 20 or so minutes to follow friends.  One neat thing about the software I am using,  you can open up about 4 or 5 instances of it and run it at the same time…. Just make sure that you are using different twitter accounts on each one.  I have found (at least on my computer anyway) that anymore than 4 or 5 instances and it will crash…  You may have a different experience.     I didn’t get much done yesterday  but plan on adding friends to all 10 of my accounts today (Day 4)….   that is actually what I am working on today.  I also plan on setting up all accounts in socialoomph so I can automate my tweets.  I don’t want to just send out adds to all my accounts all the time… I want to be real and actually send out real tweets related to the niche I am targeting.

Like I said,  I broke down each of my accounts to very specific niches….  I have found that the people following me very greatly depending on the  niche that I am in… it is quite interesting actually.  I am keeping every detail of what I do and how it progresses until I reach 50K in followers across 10 accounts.  That is my ultimate goal…..  I figure with 50K across 10 accounts,  each account working with a specific niche…. then I should be able to make at least a little bit of money… passively of course once it is set up.  So anyway,  here are my goals for today:

Follow friends (100-200 per day only until I reach 1K for each account)
Setup all 10 accounts in socialoomph.com
Schedule tweets for each account that relate to the niche I am targeting..

That is it.. should take me less than an hour…  I plan on scheduling the tweets about 8 weeks ahead of time…. just one liners… about 4 or 5 a week….   that is approximately 40 one lines tweets for 2 months…. should not take me that long….  So that is 400 tweets I will have to schedule for 10 accounts (total).. hmmm…. now that I think about it,  may take me quite a few hours….. but I won’t have to worry about it later….  better yet,  maybe I can get someone else to do it….. My goal is to get 50K followers across all accounts….. Gonna get it done one way or another… That way I can deem this project as a success or failure…..   learn from my mistakes,  maybe try it again differently or ditch it all together….. More later.

I completed setting up the accounts on Twitter and added a picture to each one.  I chose different topics for each one.   I wanted the topic to match the available advertising inventory.    As I mentioned before,  I set up an account at RevTwt and added all 10 accounts.  You can add more than 10 accounts but from what I gather,  you need to do pretty well with the first 10 that you have.

I am keeping track of everything I do on a Google Doc spreadsheet.  I will post the spreadsheet minus the data at some point in the future.  I may add the template so at least you can see how I set it up.  I am keeping a record of every detail.   I am also setting up each account in socialoomph.com This service is VERY cool because you can schedule your tweets for multiple accounts.  I actually have been using it before I started this  method.

After I set up the twitter accounts in socialoomph.com,  I am going to start getting and weeding out friends.  It is VERY important that you keep a balance of friends you follow and those who follow you.  The free services that I have used in the past just do not cut it…. they are good for what they are,  but to keep track of multiple accounts and make sure you are not following the same person over and over,  it is not good.

I use a paid service to follow friends on Twitter.  The main reason is I don’t have to worry about spamming as much and following the same person over and over, thus being accussed of spam.  This program keeps what you are doing in a database so the chances of being accused of spam are slimmer.  For example;  you can put a twitter username in the program and it will keep track of how many of the people under that username you have already requested to follow….  Some users on twitter have hundreds of thousands of followers…  this software will pick up where you left off and never follow the same user more than once.  The system I use is:  Brute Force Twitter.   It really is worth the price, cuts your time and worry down dramatically.   Well I’m off to get more followers to my accounts!

I am in the process of removing people who didn’t follow me,  again I am using software to do this.  I absolutely love it.   One thing I do when I want to see how  many followers I have in each of my accounts, or just simply check each of my twitter accounts is open them all up in Firefox.  Firefox has a neat feature that if you save all your bookmarks in a group,  you can open them all up at the same time.  So I save all my twitter pages under Twitter Project then open them all up when I need to.
