But the question is, were any of those softwares and programs that were promoted, actually doing you any good? Just how great is Twitter marketing?

| − | Anxious to step up my product sales, I went ahead and got started on Twitter marketing to create a big list of followers hoping to turn them into customers. I ended up paying for and programs that would get me followers and programs that would essentially promote my products for me. In all, I think I bought about 8 software programs to help with my Twitter marketing venture.

| − | I paide for a software package that would automatically follow people for me in an attempt to prompt them to follow me back. If anyone was not following me, I had another program that would automatically delete them from my to-follow list. This would allow me to follow various people once again to get them to follow me. Amongst other software I bought, there was one program which automatically tweeted a blog post just as soon as it was posted to my blog. Initially, I was really delighted with the end results after using the programs in combination because they really delivered on what they promised. But as soon as it seemed I wasn't generating any money, my initial excitement was soon squashed. Daily I would post roughly ten blog entries knowing that they would then automatically be shown on Twitter also. Believing that more blog posts would increase my blog traffic, I arranged for my daily blog posts to be made automatically both to my blog and to Twitter as well.

| − | The results of my efforts are as follows: After three years utilizing these methods, I had built nearly 10,000 Twitter followers. You may be really delighted to gain that number of followers, but there's more to come. Also in the past three years I have had over fifteen thousand of my blog posts that were advertising affiliate products tweeted to my Twitter account. And that was the only campaigning that I did for that blog, I chose not to even ping the posts to see exactly what Twitter could do for me. Just how 'good' it was quickly became evident: after 3 years only two affiliate sales pulled in $46.74 plus another $9.10 for Adsense. With just 2 - 4 visits every day originating from Twitter, perhaps this is not surprising.

| − | Despite me using tools to make the job more effortless and gaining roughly 10,000 followers on Twitter, I still could not turn a decent profit using Twitter marketing for my blog. As a matter of fact, in the last 3 years I have not even made good money from that blog to pay for the Twitter programs that I had purchased. So in my opinion, though there may be good ways to advertise on Twitter, investing in the automatic softwares are not the way to go.
