MILE STONE ACHIEVED: 2,000 Followers on Twitter!
While I registered my account with Twitter for the first time back in July last year, it was only 3 months ago that I started to take Twitter marketing seriously. Up until then, I had only above 300 Twitter followers and I hardly used it for any reason.
So starting this year, I ventured other unexplored territories in Internet Marketing knowing that I cannot solely depend on my mailing lists to push my latest promotions in as profitable as it is.
Twitter is one of the channels I started to explore since it’s simple in nature. Simple is good for me. 
Thus in 3 months, I get more and more people to follow me on Twitter and actively used it - for both marketing and friendship building reasons.
And the result?
I am pleased to say that I’ve just hit my 2,000 followers mile stone! 
While I’m in a business where it’s normal for Internet Marketers to have a ridiculous amount of followers (whether it be celebrity status or even using some ’spambot’ software) I am proud of this recent achievement, considering that social media isn’t my field of expertise at all.
For one, I’m currently ranked #7 in Malaysia’s Most Followed Twitter Users:

That’s a jump in 1,700+ followers in less than 3 months.
Of course, the high follower count wouldn’t have meant much without the opportunities to connect with friends, business associates and other users.
I have used Twitter to successfully strike Joint Venture deals for my previous projects including PLRGold: Videos, The Awesome Fun Gifts event, and recently a 72 Hour PLR Sale. (I got to know a couple of new JV Partners through Twitter and the difference would have meant making an extra $1376 in sales - or $688 in admin profits - or not at all!)
While not a big gush of money just yet, I’ve started to make hundreds of dollars just using Twitter alone (let’s hope that escalates to thousands of dollars in no time!).
I also found that Twitter is truly an incredible brand and credibility builder, a fact known to be preached often but I discounted it too quick. I send tweet messages on the average frequency of 4 - 7 times a day, but at the risk of being labeled someone who tweets nonsense or trivial stuff - and that also the same tweets reflect on my FaceBook status - I minimized and carefully selected what to write in the 140 characters of space.
The verdict? If you aren’t on Twitter yet, you’re probably missing it out. I gave it a pass many times last year (because I can be plain ass stubborn lol) but enough friends got me to sign up for an account and since then, it became addictive for me.
I’m setting 3,000 as my next mile stone!
