So, I’ve fed my ego and gone out to get my first 1,000 twitter followers, both on my personal account, and on the account we use for Flightmapping.com. So what? Well, to be honest, so not very much. My vanity, and my desire for traffic, and hence revenue, want as many twitter followers as possible.
I have guestimated that I’ll need about 10,000 to start seeing any worthwhile difference. This is based on an assumption that 1% of people will respond to tweets about new blog posts, and that five new blog posts and site updates each day could generate 2 x 10,000 x 1% x 5 = 1,000 new visitors. At this stage, I am dealing with very crude maths, and I’ll adjust my forecasts as I go along. I’m interested to hear from other twitter users who are out there to build decent traffic to content related blogs, and not just to get people to sign up to online get rich quick programmes. How are you doing?
