Attacking People In the Pursuit of Quick Profits is a Killer
Growing too fast can actually be a bad thing because once you start to pick up momentum you end up focusing on how to better leverage that growth and how to implement more viral marketing. You start thinking about all of these forms, these tactics and before you know it you have taken yourself out of the game again. You forgot that it is all about sharing what you know.
Most of the great wealthy entrepreneurs online started off by sharing a large amount of their intelligence free of charge without any expectation of rewards. In this quick, quick we want it now mentallity of the world we get sidetracked by information and hung up on details. Suddenly hours have gone by while we have been doing so called research or trying to broadcast to as many people as we can or checking our stats or any one of another dozen things we think are important. While these things are important they should not be the primary objective.
It is more important to lead the way than to act like a leader. Form relationships by communicating with people. Just look at how many people post 10, 20 or even 30 twitter feeds in the space of like 3 minutes and there is not one single solitary bit of actual information in it at all! Nothing but 12 or 13 links is not going to suggest integrity to me and is a sure fire way to get yourself blocked by any serious user.
Even worse is 15 seconds after I post something, some joker tags my user names in a message and there is no message at all! No continuation of my topic, not even a ‘hello, nice post’! This makes one look really clueless. The good news is that with so many people making these mistakes it is VERY easy to stand out from the crowd.
Now you may have some short term success due to the sheer volume of your activity but it is doomed to not last because you are not making any connection with anyone.
