What is the point of following 100,000 people on Twitter, and having the same amount follow back? For me, it’s almost like children playing “you follow me and I’ll follow you back” on Instagram. Is there any real value to this? I fail to see it. I think we have around 2,800 followers, and we follow 300. I would guess 75% of them are outdated or unused accounts, 24% are casual users who you might click through once a month, while 1% click on anything and everything! Because we follow so few back, I believe the quality of our account is probably better than most, but it’s still crap! When I visit those big accounts I rarely see any interaction/likes/retweets. Am I missing the point? Are people simply disillusioned? “ Reply With Quote #2 WinSpins 20 February 2018, 1:13 p.m. Public Member Twitter DEFINITELY works! The vast majority of my traffic comes via Twitter. I have approximately seven different accounts. My biggest has 3,700 followers and I follow approximately 7,000. Think of it this way: Let’s target the slots market. If you had 30 people follow you and you sent a tweet out with a nice big descriptive image of a brand-new slot, you’re going to get a few click-throughs to check out your info on the slot, but probably zero sign-ups. Same thing with 3,000 followers: More click- throughs, and you might get a few sign ups and a few depositors. With 30,000 followers, you will get even more clicks and more signups and deposits. I did a small test three days ago on my smallest twitter account, which has 72 followers. I sent out one tweet. I had 19 clicks, four signups and one depositing player. Not a bad conversion rate! It’s purely a numbers game. “ Reply With Quote Images by Twin Design/Shutterstock “Twitter DEFINITELY works! The vast majority of my traffic comes via Twitter .” 4 1 W W W . G P W A T I M E S .

People will go searching for people to follow them by following an account, then a few days unfollow because they know that most unsavvy Instagram users will just follow anyone and don’t have any app that tells you when someone unfollows you. That’s how they get most followers. People pay for followers. If you see someone with a HUGE following, and not much interaction? They paid for the followers. I don’t see the point in tricking someone to follow you, because if they don’t like what you’re pushing, they will unfollow eventually. TBH, I see this mostly in the fitness industry on Instagram, so it could be completely different on Twitter. Either way, it’s annoying and I wish people who did that would get banned. I don’t follow anyone unless I like what they post, but I can tell you if they unfollow me a few days later, you bet your ass I’ll unfollow them! If it makes someone feel good to have people like and follow them, they are not my people. And like I said, Twitter could be different. I may have to do some testing to see. “ Reply With Quote
