Working With the Twitter Network to Super-Size Your Vemma Team

It gets very easy at this time to take for granted that everyone already is aware of how to use the social networking sites such as Twitter and other such similar networking sites..

I was talking to a gentleman the other day and this was a guy who had not changed MLM companies in 15 years and had only just set up a Twitter account last month. I talked to him a bit about how to better market his business and though I could tell he was a “regular” at talking to folks about his primary MLM company, he was completely confused as to how Twitter, and any other social networking sites, functioned. The reason he had created his Twitter account was because he went to a meeting of his MLM peers and someone hinted that he should. A week later he only had a few followers and I was one of them, which is how we met (hint, hint!).

So, I thought a simple and brief rundown might be helpful for some of you.

While there are an infinite number of way to reach out to people online to generate leads for your MLM downline, here are some tips on using Twitter to do so.

Firstly, if you don’t know what Twitter is, it’s basically a bulletin board where you can post an answer to the question, “What’s Happening?”. If memory serves, it used to say, “What are you doing?”, but no matter. You are given a 140 character space to answer that question and you can put links in there. These posts are called “Tweets”. Your “tweets” can be seen by your followers. If you have no followers, there is no point in “tweeting” because there won’t be anyone there to see it.

Simply, the more followers you have the more people will receive your communications you want to send out about your products or business opportunity.

The most basic way to begin marketing Vemma with Twitter once you have set up your account is to simply choose some people to follow. It’s pretty much a sure thing that, a large number of people that you elect to follow will follow you in return, whether they know you or not.

It is possible to search for a particular type of person on Twitter. For example, you could do a search for all the “tweets” that have the word “Vemma” in them and see how many other people are talking about it. Maybe you could choose to follow them and then you could see what they are “tweeting” about Vemma.

Once they have decided to follow you back, you can now send them direct messages, similar to emails, directly through the Twitter site. Direct messages are not the same as “tweets”. Direct messages are only seen by the person you send it to. Very easy, and a fabulous way to get into communication and meet people.

Personally, my first message to send to a new Twitter contact is to ask them to join me on Facebook because I feel that the Facebook profile is much more personalized and we can more effectively get to know each other.

So that is the basics. Here is how I added 1000 followers per week:

I use a piece of software called “Tweet Adder”, which as far as I’m concerned is the Lamborghini of Twitter automating software. It just automates everything for you and is very easy to use.
There are many things you can customize with Tweet Adder including: who to follow and when to follow those people; who to unfollow and and when; how many folks to follow and unfollow either according to ratios of followers to non-followers, or according to an arbitrary amount. For example the program can be set to stop following when the ratio of follower to those you are following reachses a certain ratio.

When people stop following you the software will automatically unfollow them in return. You can tell it to auto-reply when someone sends you a “tweet”. You can create a long list of pre-written tweets and have the program post them automatically according to a certain time interval, and you can decide whether to post them in order or in any order and you can choose whether to remove each one from the list or to leave on the list once it has been posted.

The space of time between follows, unfollows, messages, and “tweets” can all be customized so you can “tweet” every 5 minutes or every 5 hours. It’s all up to you.

There is more you can do but those are the main features.

I decided to buy the upgrade to use the license on 10 different Twitter accounts. There is an upgrade available to use unlimited accounts, if you really want to light your Vemma business of fire using Twitter.
The idea is to create 10 different Twitter accounts. You just need a different email address for each one. Then you can begin adding followers simultaneously on all 10. I generally get them all running before I go to sleep and all 10 applications of the program will run while I’m sleeping to follow, unfollow,send messages and “tweet”.

With 10 applications running it is quite easy to add 1000 followers per week. Work to get each one up to 10,000 followers and you have got a group of 100,000 people on your communication line. I have a friend who has done just this. I’m not quite there yet.

The idea is to not follow the same people with each application as this would be pointless and a waste of time.. This is where the customizable search feature comes in necessary. You could search for all the “tweets” containing the word, “Amway”, and begin adding those on one application. Then on another application of the program search for all the “tweets” containing the word “TVI Express”, and then start following them with the that application. You could open another and search for all the followers of “Donald Trump”, for example, and begin following them.

In this fashion you are multiplying your efforts by 10X with very little extra time.

It seems that 1000 adds per day is maximum that you can add, at least until you hit 2000. At 2000 it would seem from the error messages I get back from the program, that the follower to following ratio must be within a certain limit. My understanding is that Twitter will begin to see you as a spammer if the ratios get too far out of balance after 2000 people are being followed. This is a huge reason to use the Tweet Adder because when each account hits 2000 it really slows you down because you can then only add a much smaller amount each day depending upon how many are following you back each day. So it’s good to have 10 accounts at least by that point in order to the keep the growth happening. At this time my followers are still building by about 400 per day, which seems like a lot but compared to the 1200 that were adding me when I first upgraded, it seems slow.
One other thing of importance is to “tweet” so that you are not just “spamming” your followers all day long. People only want to see, “Join Vemma because we’re the best!”, so many times before they will just stop following you. Try to offer helpful content. If you are building a following of network marketers like I am, then try to provide information about actions you found successful in building your Vemma team, or about tools others can use, etc. If they begin to recognize you as a source of help rather than just a greedy recruiter, it will be much easier to get into communication and to get to know people. Which, after all, is the reason that you are connecting up with them in the first place. That’s why they call it “networking”.
