Over the last week I have been updating my new Twitter account and have been making a few changes. And I must admit I have been a little bit of a lazy Tweet lately, but I made it my task of the week to build a list of followers and add decent tweet amount to my profile.
As of today I have now accumulated 107 tweets 392 followers and 428 following. I know that this doesn’t sound a lot but in one week it is good going as I have actually only tweeted three or four times myself this week! How was I doing this? Well I have been using a program by my friend and business partner Dave Nicholson which is called Tweet Dynamite and I must admit the results have been pretty good.
My subscriber base is up to due to the auto response email I send to guys who follow me and my traffic stats are up on my blog as well. I use my blog link as the link I give out in my auto response, which when I’m followed back in return brings traffic right to my blog creating readers and list subscribers.
You can give out any link you want as an auto reply to your follows using the tools provided; this means you can advertise anything you want with a shortened hyperlink. You could actually affiliate market your followers and send them to products affiliated to you and make an income stream from it. I have not tested it yet (as this is not my intention), but I CAN see it making some sales due to the auto find and follow features in used in Tweet Dynamite.
My intentions are to build my blog subscriber base, to alert more guys about my blog and gather readers rather than try to sell them anything. I may change my mind in the future but for now this is the master plan 
Persistence gets you everywhere! Well not quite but it got me an 80% discount link for you if you want to buy Tweet Dynamite. My initial ask was a free link but hey 80% is a damn good offer “I’ll Take It” It really was the best I could get for you;D
Here is the link if you wanna buy it:
The reason I have been testing twitter in this way is I am taking a little more interest in social marketing techniques to see if they work like they say they do. I started with Twitter as a test to build my subscriber base and it does seem to be working fairly well. I am acquiring subscribers to my blog which is good and also letting guys know what is happening with some of my ongoing projects at this current time. My traffic stats are up like I mentioned earlier so its going well.
I will continue to test twitter techniques and other social marketing techniques in the coming weeks, so keep watching and I will let you know how I get on with my findings.
Just To Add – If you are wondering which tool I use for Twitter I am using Tweet Deck for PC and for iPhone. It works very well for me.
Thanks for Reading

I have been online marketing since early 2005 where I started selling eBooks on eBay before the digital download ban. Once the ban took effect, I made the decision to take my business online and into general online marketing. eBooks were a good way to build affiliate revenue and mailing lists, but it was my blog and online marketing where I found my passion....

Hi Daniel,
I have been wondering what you are up to since you are not doing support anymore. What are you doing??
I have been a bit lazy and haven’t focused on twitter yet, although in the last 6 months my following is up over 1,000. Not sure how I did that.
Hope all is going well.
Cheers
Jacinta
Hi Jacinta,
Have you missed not speaking to me on support
There becomes a time in ones life when you need to make a decision and going out on my own, quitting working for John was one of the hardest I have made in a long time. Believe it or not I have been marketing for nearly 5 years now and over the last two my own online business has suffered. I took a deep breath and decided to go it alone.
I actually have report coming out soon which will give more of an inside as to why I did what I did and what I have in store for the future.
As for your Twitter Followers, how many are you following? You need to keep a balance between following and followers (10% I think) If your following drops you will not gain any more followers I beleive.
Nice talking to you Jacinta have a nice day
Hi Daniel:
I love the graphics and lay out of your blog. I wish you would write me and let me know how I to may get this look. I am curreently in John Thornhills Materclass mentor program and loving it. My geuss is that you to have are in it or finished it.

Hi Dave,
The template is called Arjuna X, you can get it from word press. However the graphics are custom from Steve at Diviity I assume you know him if not you can contact him at http://www.planet-divinity.com/support (graphics section) also the template has been modified by myself by changing the background colours and also adding some of my own custom graphics and AdSense ads. The layout you see is not avaiable as standard sorry.
You guessed sort of right when you say I was in Johns Masterclass, used to run support for him and helped him come up with his content last year:)
Hi Dan
I have just opened a twitter account but not using it properly yet, so will have to look at Daves product!
Thanks for the great content!
All the best

Hi Nick,
No problem at all. My Twitter account is gaining around 25 followers everyday and my traffic stats are rising nicely from it.
