Okay - so, maybe they’re not all my ideal audience
Twitter update! As of 8:57 this morning I now have over 540 followers! I’m still locked out from following new people for another couple of hours but when they let me back in, I’m going to find another 1000 follow-worthy folks. My new goal is way more lofty than the first one — 20,000 followers in the next month.
You know, marketing is a numbers game so I figure if I can even get a small percentage of my new Twitter followers to be new Southern Discomforts followers, I’ll have made progress. And, of course, I use the term “marketing” loosely. It’s not like I’m charging anyone but, if I’m spending all this time writing, I’d like to know that there are more people out there reading.
Now, granted. A great deal of the folks who started following me yesterday are these fake spammy people who advertise how hot and horny they are in their profile, who have never tweeted but who also spend a lot of time finding people to follow.
Yes. That is a photo of a baby.
They usually include some link to some, I’m assuming, porn video, so maybe they’re looking for their own target market. Still, there were no direct messages with, “Hey. Call me. I’m sooooo into random, anonymous encounters with my Twitter friends,” or anything else too invasive, so whatever. They’ve helped increase my numbers on my profile page and, for now, that’s cool with me.
