Hey guys, it’s been a while since my last post as I’ve been working on some awesome projects which are beginning to take off, so stay tuned. In the mean time I’ve received quite a few messages from visitors wondering why I haven’t been posting and it made me realise something very important – Consistency is vital when blogging!

I thought it would be appropriate to address this topic as I plan on posting a lot more regular from here on out, so I’ve been looking at why consistency is so important! And here is my conclusion –

No. 1 - Traffic Flow
When you drive traffic to your blog your visitors will hopefully be engaged and responsive to your posts, once you have the ball rolling you want to keep that flow of traffic coming and that is called momentum. If those same visitors come back and see nothing new there is nothing for them to engage with and they will keep their visits to your blog less frequent resulting in a decrease in regular traffic.

No. 2 - Building a Community
Building a loyal following is vital for many reasons, the main being content syndication! By posting regular, the frequent visitors you have will be more inclined to share your content which will lead to further exposure. If you stop the flow of valuable content you may lose that loyal following and decrease your blog community resulting in a decline in Social proof and further exposure!

No. 3 - Personal Branding
At all times your personal brand is being marked by visitors. What does this mean? Your personal brand is not just your blogs visual aspects, your name and niche! Your brand is you as a person and your reputation. If you post once a month, you may find yourself with a reputation of being a lazy value adder which will be linked to your personal brand and that’s how you will be perceived by others. Build a reputation of adding value to the community and others on a regular basis and your personal brand will portray you as someone of consistent value who wants to spread their message as often as possible and change lives!

So lesson learned guys, although I have been working on some other projects which will also benefit others in the long term, I have remembered my responsibility to add value to your lives through my blog and plan to take that responsibility to a new level.

Hope this post helps you to take responsibility of your own followers, share if you found value and leave your feedback as we need to catch up!

Til next time...

Hello my friends! I thought I will share this KILLER Twitter Trick with my community, this trick SO simple but yet so powerful that without using any script you will get hundreds of people following you day and night. So lets get started.. Getting Followers at Twitter can be pain in butt, you can use some tools to automate your work, but not everyone will follow you back. But with this trick people will follow you, no need to beg or follow them. These people will find you and follow you.. Step by Step 1. Find the guru's/leaders in your industry. This is most important part of this Twitter trick, finding the leaders in the industry that people would want to follow. Since I am in the network marketing & social media industry I would say people like: Mike Dillard, Frank Kern, Anthony Robbins, Jonathan Budd, Maria Andros, Gary Vaynerchuk and the list goes on.. or if you just want to have LOTS of friends you can pick the top 10 twitter users below: http://twittercounter.com/pages/100 TIP: it's not the quantity. it's the quality that counts! Sure a bigger following will improve your social proof, but in the end of the day you want to have all your following to do a certain action. So if you are creating a big following, you have to connect with all of them! 2. Select 10 people that you want to target, or in other words 10 people that you want to follow and are targeted for your industry. Tweeters with 20-30k+ followers are usually great to target. 3. Open 10 tabs and in each tab you must have each profile open, so tab 1 = profile 1, tab 2 = profile 2, so on and so forth so you have 10 tabs with 10 twitter profiles of top 10 industry leaders. 4. Now follow all of them, one by one follow all the 10. 5. Now here is the TRICK, every time you follow someone your name comes on top of their list of followers, so anyone who is following them will follow you, anyone who is following their followers will follow you first, anyone checking their profile will check your profile, anyone that sees their twit see yours first, so if you have 10 profiles and you keep following and unfollowing them every 5 minutes within x minutes/hours you will have 200-300 people following you. How this works? Basically top 10 tweeters get 1000s and 1000s of adds every hour (not only that they get thousands and thousands of visitors to their profile), and when they are adding they check their followers so if you are on top of their list they follow you as well. Or if anyone else is using bot to follow the followers of these top 10 you will be the first one they will follow. This works all the time, whats even funnier, YOUR PROFILE gets a high PR backlink.. As usual post your questions in the comment section and show me some twitterlove. Yours in True Success, Yannick van den Bos http://www.twitter.com/yannickvdbos P.S.- so once again, follow and unfollow do this again and again. No need to pay 500-600 USD for software. THIS REALLY WORKS. And no GURU will share this trick with you.. See Jodi Lee her result with using this Secret Twitter Trick
