Stop Twitter Spam! Be The Change You Want To See

Here is a testimonial from one of my recent clients:
“Since meeting Rob Lear, I have made connections that have helped my brand image really get noticed. Allowing him to control my Twitter account for a short period of time my followers, quality ones, have increased nine fold. My work has been recognized by a television celebrity with a million followers that is a regular guest on The Today Show, CNBC, and The Travel Channel. The host of one of Bravo’s hottest television shows has also noticed my work thanks to Rob. You can offer the best products and services, but if your corporate image is not out there for the taking, neither are your sales. There are a lot of guys out there claiming to expose your brand, and they can, but Rob gets you noticed based on your demographic and what YOU are looking for. Just do what he says, and let the magic happen!

G’day Rob,
Great video – I wish I had seen this when I first started on Twitter about a month ago. You managed to pack into 13 minutes what I have been learning over the past month.
Your content and style are 1st class. Fortunately I am on the same path as you have outlined hoping to stand out from the masses. Love the content advice and popurls.com
Your Blog is one of the best I have seen for building rapport very quickly. Excellent – I am looking forward to learning more from your tweet style and content.
Cheers

Greg,
So many people have been led down the wrong path using Twitter. Everyone out there is teaching “put it all on autopilot”. Last time I checked this is called SOCIAL media…
How can you be “social” when everything is on autopilot.
I am all about leveraging your efforts, and working smarter not harder but this, as any business, is a relationship business and you can’t put that on autopilot.
I really appreciate your positive feedback and I’m glad I could speed up your learning curve.
“Twittirgin” I like that!
Seriously Rob, were you a teacher in a past life? You have an excellent way of explaining in a clear and concise whatever it is you want!
I just notified my newbie social media friend to come check out your site and specifically this post. Not only is it a fantastic source for a “Twittergin” as Greg so eloquently put it, but any “harmless spammer” (that’s someone who spams but honestly doesn’t know they shouldn’t be) would benefit as well.
Great job my friend!
Glenn, I can always count on you to boost my ego a bit. Just kidding!
I am happy to play a small role in teaching people the right way to go about social media. It’s not supposed to be a free mechanism to spam out to the world. Just a super powerful way to connect with the right people that want what you have to offer.
“Stop the Spam”
I think you should have buttons made.
You are so right about this!

Rob,
This is an awesome video. Every Tweeter… especially new will walk away with tremendous value.
Love the POPURLs suggestion and proper etiquette for buidling strong relationships
Keep content coming… it is greatly appreciated!

Great video Rob! Your message to see and use Twitter as a relationship builder is clear. This cannot be automated. I recognized this, so until now I\’ve been rewarding my new followers with a \’personal thank you\’ DM and a follow in return. Not all of them, but only the ones which have a proper bio, not to much tweets a day, and definitely not just marketing/sales tweets. After all, Twitter is a SOCIAL network.
Plz continue!

P.S. I\’m Dutch, so most of my tweets are in Dutch, some are in English. How do tweeple react on this mixed language tweets?
Note: I\’ll tweet this too
Excellent video with some great information for new and old Twitter users. I’m not a fan of those auto pilot methods. I want to network with people, not with robots. So the links you suggest I think will be very helpful for me as I start using Twitter more. Definitely worth the 13 minutes to watch.

Hi Rob! Thanks so much for this video, it’s great. Also really refreshing and inspiring to find genuine content a world of scammy spammy. So glad I found you on Twitter, can’t wait to start implementing your ideas in my own account organization.
Thank you!!

Really excellent video, Rob.
Thank you so much for tweeting it! I will always pay attention to your tweets now! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do a little automation without giving up the social part and becoming just another Twitspammer. I RT’d the Tweet so others might also “be the change they want to see”!

Terrific, succinct video – thanks so much, Rob. I don’t know how you originally found me on Twitter, but I’m so glad you did – I use you as the example of how to use Twitter when I share with people who are just starting to use social networking. Your video explains it so much better than I ever could. Use Tweetdeck, just learned about Social Oomph, which you demystified. Thanks again!
