Automation: Social Media’s Cardinal Sin Or Saving Grace? (Part 1 of 3)

| Posted in All Things Twitter, Making Money |

There’s a ton of folks out there screaming that you can’t “pollute” social media with automated processes and tools. I beg to differ. In the short video above I lay out the case for using automation to not only spur conversation, but to ultimately create relationships – the real value to social media like Twitter and Facebook. In the end though, you have to be the judge on this one.

Here’s what I know:

1. I’m a busy entrepreneur and I don’t have all day to sit on social media sites and dink around looking for the right match in order to promote myself, my business, or my products.

2. Social media is HUGE! With Facebook having over 200 Million users world wide (of which 100 Million users log on at least once per day) and Twitter doubling in size every 90 days or so (with a projected 50 Million plus users by Christmas ‘09) you’d have to be a dingbat to NOT jump on and use the services to promote your business.

Here’s a few interesting statistics that I include proof of in the video above. I did a little experiment last week with Twitter. Personally it’s my favorite because it’s so easy to use and it has an insane potential for mass exposure even if you don’t have a single follower. On Sunday August 2, 2009 I started promoting my blog that you’re currently reading. By Monday afternoon I knew it was working but I didn’t know how good! Consider the following results:

-3,697.39% increase in traffic to my www.twitterprodigy.com

-215.18% increase in traffic to www.globalwealthrevealed.com

-Over 80 comments were left on the blog regarding the content posted

-My tweets were retweeted countless times by hundreds of other Twitter users

-I got over 100 opt-ins to another site of mine that promotes a big ticket business opportunity – without pushing traffic directly to it and without paying a single penny to Google for PPC. Normally I pay $1.97 per click with my keywords for that campaign.

That’s right! My traffic on this very blog went from around 20-40 visits per day to over 1,100 per day in just two days! Compared to some sites that’s just chicken scratch I know, but for me going from almost no traffic to a lot of traffic on this site blew my mind! What’s even better is that it’s FREE! The real question is how did I do it?

In the following blog posts (linked below) I’ll show you exactly how I did it and what tools I used to get it done. Think you could benefit from that knowledge? Then read on my Tweeps!
