<p>There&#8217;s a Twitter marketing myth that&#8217;s really prevalent in the Twitter community, and it goes something like this:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“It’s about the quality of followers, not the quantity.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Their rationale is, who cares if you got thousands of Twitter followers if nobody cares what you have to say.</p>
<p>I admit, there’s a grain of truth. If all you do is harvest followers, you’re nothing but a spammer. But here’s why this reasoning is flawed&#8230;</p>
<p>No matter how much so called quality Twitter followers you have, the dismal percentages remain the same.</p>
<blockquote><p>2% click-through rate. 5% if you&#8217;re lucky.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s 3 surprising reasons why:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>There&#8217;s too much noise. </strong>Your followers follow hundreds of others. Hence  your tweets being lost in their tweet-stream as thy&#8217;re assaulted by noise.</li>
<li><strong>Not everyone is on at the same time.</strong> The US has six different time zones. Then there&#8217;s the rest of the world. People wont see your tweet because they&#8217;re not online at that time.</li>
<li><strong>Your followers are not targeted. </strong>People can follow you over a Chuck Norris Joke as much as sound marketing advice.</li>
</ol>
<p>So here&#8217;s the deal, Guy Kawasaki says&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>“Twitter is a numbers game.”</p></blockquote>
<p>To overcome lower response rates, you need to get more followers to compensate that lack. And the good news is Twitter is phenomenal when it comes to <strong>generating leads really fast</strong>.</p>
<p>You see&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>The more followers you have, the more influence you wield.</li>
<li>The more followers you have, the more chances of RTs.</li>
<li><strong>The more followers you have, the more SALES you make.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s the simple answer that make pumping the numbers so much easier.</p>
<div id="attachment_403" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 378px"><img class="size-full wp-image-403" title="how to get more Twitter followers" src="http://salvationsystem.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/hummingbird.jpg" alt="How to get more Twitter followers" width="368" height="277" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hummingbird Twitter review</p></div>
<blockquote>
<h3><strong>HUMMINGBIRD.</strong></h3>
</blockquote>
<p>Honestly, I thought this Twitter app was a piece of crap a few months ago when I first bought it. It was so bad that I ended up doing my list building manually.</p>
<p>However, after I checked back a week ago, I was delightfully surprised that Hummingbird creators Mesiab Labs made massive improvements to this Twitter tool.</p>
<p>Hummingbird has truly become a push button solution.</p>
<p><strong>With just one press of a button, and less than a minute&#8217;s work&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>You can get up to 500 followers a day!</p></blockquote>
<p>Skeptical? Here’s <strong>proof</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-411" title="how to get more followers on twitter" src="http://salvationsystem.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/howtogetmorefollowersontwitter.png" alt="twitter hummingbird review" /></p>
<p><img src="file:///Users/kennt/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="moz screenshot Why More Twitter Followers? The Great Twitter Marketing Myth and Hummingbird Review"  title="Why More Twitter Followers? The Great Twitter Marketing Myth and Hummingbird Review" />You saw right, since using Hummingbird over the past 7 days, I have got <strong>2378 FOLLOWERS IN A WEEK.</strong></p>
<p>So now, I&#8217;m unabashedly recommending Hummingbird to get big on Twitter fast. Put the massive lead generation and traffic generation of Twitter for your business right now.</p>
<h3>Due to a special arrangement, your Hummingbird order can get a WHOPPING 15% DISCOUNT when you type the word <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>RECESSION</strong></span> into the coupon section when you order.</h3>
<p>Hummingbird guarantees you see results in as little as 3 days, so check it out now while this special offer remains:</p>
