Some Twits just don’t get it

Some people just don’t get the idea behind Twitter and their Direct Selling (no, it’s not Direct Marketing, it’s selling!) makes me want to scream. I’m scanning through my messages and am wondering what people are thinking about when they send me this stuff.

Listen, I don’t want to make $4,000 per month with Twitter by hacking off the whole Twitter community, I don’t want a 1,000 new followers by the time I wake up tomorrow morning, and I don’t want any free gifts, free reports, free webinars or free courses. While I’m at it, I don’t want my Twitter feed bombarded and stuffed with spam either.

Selling through Twitter is, I’d suggest, like selling anywhere else: People buy from people, not from some faceless avatar that you’ve never met and unlikely to trust. So, for those seeking to use Twitter as a sales tool, try applying some thought behind what you’re doing before you get going. For those spammers that bombard me dozens of times a day, you are wasting your time with me. I will never ever buy anything from you unless I know you first.
