How Many Times Are You Going To Follow Me?

May 6, 2010 By Sherra 2 Comments

There is something rather comical going on in my Twitter account. I began following a particular last year because they were a client of a friend of mine. I never really paid a whole lot of attention to their status updates because after a while the updates started to not be relevant to what she’s doing (or claims to be doing) in her business venture – absolutely NOTHING personal being tweeted, nothing about what’s going on with the business, a few re-tweets here and there and very little interaction. The Facebook pages for this person aren’t any better.

Anyway, I must admit I haven’t given my Twitter follower list a whole lot of attention this past year, so I’m still “technically” following this person’s Twitter account. Several months ago I started getting notifications that this person was following me – a couple of times a month. It was kind of funny at first and became somewhat of a private joke between me and a couple of other VAs who knew what was going on (the same thing was happening to them – from the same Twitter account). Then the notices started coming closer together. This past week I’ve gotten a notice that this person is following me on Twitter EVERY DAY.

So, what’s the moral of this story? Auto-follows bite. I’ll admit that I did do the “auto-follow” thing for a few weeks but I quickly discovered I was following a lot of people who did a whole lot of tweeting about a whole lot of crap. So I promptly turned off my auto-following.

Do you have any funny Twitter follow stories?

Tweeting “For” a Client

July 8, 2009 By Sherra Leave a Comment

I ran across this video on the VAclassroom blog today, and I thought it addresses tweeting for clients very well. It also doesn’t hurt that I also agree with the philosophy and guidelines he discusses in the video!

Does having a bio get you more Twitter followers?

March 24, 2009 By Sherra Leave a Comment

Does having a bio get you more Twitter followers?  According to a study done by HubSpot, the answer is overwhelmingly “yes”.  Personally, I’m very hesitant to follow someone with no bio unless I know them outside of Twitter.

Overheard on LinkedIn – Virtual Assistant Question

August 20, 2008 By Sherra 3 Comments

In preparation for a seminar a fellow VA is presenting later this week, she posed a question to LinkedIn members about the social marketing tasks they would be comfortable outsourcing to a VA.  One person actually said, “Honestly, I can’t think of one task that I would be comfortable having an assistant take over.”

To me, the above statement shows a lack of understanding of exactly what a VA does and how they work WITH their clients.  I do not have a lot of time this morning to devote to this particular post, but I plan on getting a more eloquent post together later today about my thoughts on the above statement.

YOUR comments are welcome!
