Many people take advantage of Twitter to increase their audience whether they are selling, broadcasting, organizing – or whatever. The problem with most programs that purport to increase your following is that they cater to marketers who try to get sales purely via volume followers – utilizing the “follow me and I will follow you” mentality. This results in a large number of people who follow you BUT DON’T READ YOUR UPDATES! A good barometer of whether or not people actually READ your tweets – and enjoy them – is how many times people RETWEET your tweets. Check out @tonyrobbins and see how often people retweet HIS tweets.

Anyway, I found out how useless my vast number of followers were when I tried to get my followers to listen to one of my internet radio shows. I tweeted and tweeted and got no one – other than loyal followers not connected to Twitter – to even listen to the show. THEY WERE OBLIVIOUS TO MY TWEETS.

So I decided to go the TARGETED route and have had much success selling the other things I market through affiliate programs – and I’ll be broadcasting again soon, so I’ll see how it affects my audience growth. I have purged a few (and lost a few) and gained people who really want to hear about what I am tweeting. I’m just short of 12,000 followers, now.

Anyway here is the link to the program – Tweet Adder: http://tweetadder.servant2all.com/ This is a program you have to pay for but there is a FREE DEMO to be downloaded and used so you can test its efficiency. ADDITIONALLY, my page offers a 20% discount coupon code PLUS BONUSES, should you decide to buy after checking out the demo.

The following post is from an email sent to me by one of my closest friends. It was one of those things that you get through numerous parties such that finding out the original author is nearly impossible. Still – even without an ability to give attribution to the writer – I felt that this article might engage conversation. So, without further ado:

What My Brother-in-Law Thinks About The Threat of Socialism

People who complain about the threat of socialism remind me of the man from Virginia who went to college on the GI Bill and bought his first house with a VA loan. When a hurricane struck he got federal disaster aid. When he got sick he was treated at a veteran’s hospital. When he was laid off he received unemployment insurance and then got a SBA loan to start his own business. His bank funds were protected under federal deposit insurance laws. When he retired he went on Social Security and Medicare. The other day he got into his car, drove the federal interstate to the railroad station, parked in the public lot, took Amtrak to Washington and went to Capitol Hill to ask his congressman to get the government off his back.

What are your thoughts on this? Let’s talk.

I first of all want to apologize to readers of this blog for not posting for some time. My energies have been diverted to other projects, but rest assured that I will be back on track within a few days.

The following video succinctly outlines the Black Business Builders Club’s (3BC’s) compensation plan. Although it is a very lucrative, residual income apparatus, I tend to concentrate more on the fact that the 3BC is an “online success university” where its members “learn to earn” and earn while they learn! To me the tools provided, that enable better promotion of your primary business – as well as the institution of a brand new one – are the real gems of the club. That makes the compensation plan the icing on the cake.

The following video of the 3BC compensation plan, compiled by 3BC member David Farad, was glossed over in my “Why Join Black Business Builders Club?” post, can be viewed by all visitors to the site, and is used extensively in 3BC promotions. I thought it would be worthwhile to share it here as well.

One of my colleagues posed the question of whether or not the media should have publicized the fact that Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan – the culprit in yesterday’s Ft. Hood shootings – was a Muslim. I seems like a valid question. I mean, was his faith really determinative?

According to CNN, Fort Hood’s commanding general (unnamed) relayed that witnesses reported that Hasan yelled “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is great,” during the shootings. But then they reported that Lieutenant General Robert Cone said investigators had not confirmed that. Why is it that a lieutenant general is referred to by name, but the commanding general isn’t? Is it because the commanding general said, “Don’t quote me on that”? And if he did, why would he have done so? Could it be that he was embellishing – trying to give a religious motivation to an incident that had no clear indications of one?

Oh, I’m not saying that there was no religious motivation – just that it isn’t clear. And my legal background has trained me to give the benefit of the doubt. Too many Muslims in this country have had to live a fragile existence since 9/11. We need to tread lightly in this area.

Like many in this country, my own sixteen-year-old son has an Arabic name, though he – just like the President – is not a Muslim. I named him after Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese poet who wrote one of my favorite books – The Prophet. So the current environment where Muslims – and those with Arabic names – are viewed with suspicion concerns me. I fear for my son’s safety.

The Christian Science Monitor reported that there were signs that Maj. Hasan was “troubled”. He apparently counseled soldiers who experienced post traumatic stress disorder. And though he was never in a war zone, there is every indication that his treatment of traumatized soldiers coupled with the ominous prospect of deployment to a war zone, was just too stressful for him to handle. He wouldn’t be the first psychiatrist with psychiatric problems of his own.

All I’m talking about is fundamental fairness. We don’t attack or ostracize all Christians – and those with Christian names – when a particular Christian kills people. So what’s good for the goose….

Any thoughts?
