Always Be Yourself! Be Authentic, do not use a form thank you! As always – Very good tips and very relevant to Twitter! And we need to get you a Yankees or Mariners baseball cap Julio! 🙂
Thank you so much, Sean. We are finding that with the new year, we have gotten a bigger share of Auto DMs and that just doesn’t feel right. We have even gotten some from people we have been interacting with for a week and then boom, Auto DM. Doesn’t send a great message.
Hope the people that use autodms get 2 see this video. Thank you for these tips Julio. Good job!
I hate auto DM’s – don’t even reply to them, just delete them. If I’m not worth a personalized – “hello, how you doing” – then I really don’t need to be connected to you.
I am human, I am interested in communicating and building relationships with other humans. I rarely will follow back an avatar that doesn’t have a picture of the person behind the account. I’ve ran across some interesting Bio’s with a logo as their avatar and was tempted to follow, but didn’t because the personal touch was missing. That’s just what I like and it works for me… to each his own.
BTW – I follow v5 because of my relationship with you 🙂 – just sayin…
And we love that you do follow us! We have been finding the rise in auto DMS again. I think there are too many misguided agencies out there telling their clients that you HAVE to go automated on Twitter. No way. Auto = Lazy.
Love that advice, Julio. Also appreciate the sassy approach I’ve seen from @ShellyKramer on “blocking” particularly spammy auto-DMers right away after receiving the auto-DM. How do you feel about simple “Thank You”s when someone gives you a RT or #FollowFriday? The generic “Thanks” message doesn’t seem to add value to those who do follow both of you, who see the comments in their steam. One approach I take if it doesn’t seem like the right time to genuinely engage someone with an @ message, is to skip the plain vanilla Thank You, and instead find something of quality in their stream to ReTweet. Or post a comment on their blog, or promote one of their blog entries. Or a MrTweet recommendation. Maybe I just need to get more comfortable with more frequent @ messages.
I think there is no right way to do, but the only thing you should do is to at least thank people in your own style. We normally don’t thank all our followers, but we do thank people when they RT us. Just don’t go automated. Go authentic.
Hello! I am trying to figure Twitter out. I see several people “thanking” “multiple” followers in one tweet. Is there a simple way to do this other than “copy and pasting” each one?
Use a third-party application like HootSuite or TweetDeck and then you get a REPLY ALL option. Good luck.
