OK here’s the question, do the majority of people really understand how to use Twitter and other social networking sites? I mean, if your Plumbing contractor living in South Dakota how can a Roofing Contractor in California benefit you? So here’s my question, if we follow each other on Twitter, and check out each others profile, What comes next? Do you interact with any of your followers? Do they add any value to your life?
Here’s what I’m seeing, I have a few people I follow on Twitter that I communicate with on a regular basis and I generally get something out of it. But I have been to some of my followers blogs that I actually post content on, and then never get a reply from them. Sometimes I was the only one ever to post on their blog. Now why would someone write good content, post in on their Blog, and then let it die? Now don’t get me wrong, if you have 5,000 people who follow you, there is no way you can directly interact with all of them. But if your blog has a few followers like this one, and you don’t interact with them, you can bet you wont have them for long.
Another concern I have is the amount of people who post on Twitter and then just talk about themselves. I had people I use to follow on Twitter that would post things like “I’m going to the Gym now” or “I had french toast for breakfast today”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you go to the Gym and French toast for breakfast, well what can I say to that? What I do care about, is how we are going to help each other move to the next step in our lives and business and monetize directly or indirectly with the help of Social Media.
