1 January 2010End of 2009. EverTweet. Hostgator. Selling Out.
Hope you folks had a fantastic Christmas. I did. It’s always a blast with the kids. Hope you folks also have a great New Years. Make money this new year. Profit. Blah, blah, blah.
Twitter Tool
Found a cool tool. For those of you who dig Social Media and are trying to make money with the effort, you should check out EverTweet. Yes, I am fully aware of the majority of folks who find Social Media a waste of time. You would prefer these type of people not to visit your site. But if you are one to embrace the new media and want a chance to diversify, this is really neat. The joy is you can accumulate followers automatically based on keywords. It also tracks who follows you and removes them if they do not follow you after a certain period of time. Think of the spam opportunities. I am.
Let’s say you have a site on the ever popular “dog training”. How are you going to get visitors? Schlep around trying to get Google ranked with links and articles? Sounds fun. What if every day you had a service like EverTweet that would search out Tweets that had the words “dog”, dog training” and “poop machine”. How cool would it be if it automatically tried to set up a follow connection with those people? Up to 2,000 a day. Think maybe those people might have an interest in Tweets on that topic from you in the future? Maybe that Tweet links to a Crapbank product. Or an Amazon product. Or a new article you wrote. Or a blog post.
From the site:
Choose a keyword or phrase, select how many people to follow each day, choose when to drop lame friends, and you’re done. A week from now you will have hundreds if not thousands of new followers – and it never has to stop.
I have no idea if you will make money with it. It’s just another tool. You’ll have to figure out how best to use it to accomplish anything. Check it out for free.
I spent an hour and fully dumped Lunarpages from hosting any Wordpress blogs. That is one shitty host. Had the fun of getting those blogs transferred to Hostgator. I will be using Hostgator and the free hosting I get from Affilorama from now on.
Sell Out
And finally: Guess what? I’m a sell out. I got an iPhone. We got my daughter one and it seemed pretty cool. They day after Christmas we got my bill for Sirius radio. Paying a stupid annual fee for the privilege. Looked around and discovered that I can get any music/news I want for free with Flycast, Pandora, last.fm, etc. Called Sirius and canceled. Will use the money saved for the monthly fee for iPhone data charge. We have a family rate so it wasn’t that much more. So there. I have a stupid iPhone that my youngest daughter has been glued to since we bought it. But it will be nice to have a means of getting on the web at work without having to deal with the censorship.
