Effective results come from knowing what's in it for them. What's your community there for and how you can nurture it?
If you can't quit no matter how hard you try, then you have a chance to succeed.
Influence is providing attention and value to others.
Twitter marketing in 4 words: Listen. Learn. Care. Serve.
Ask what you can do for influencers, not what influencers can do for you - develop relationships!
Everyone starts out with nobody listening to them and nobody to listen to. How and who you add determines what Twitter will become for you.
