Superb article Doug!

I think too many these days trying to base their entire business on just one aspect, such as twitter and as you have said – it could be short lived.

Thanks

Good points Doug. Whether it’s for list building or selling your product or affiliate program, everyone should count on several sources or methods to get traffic. Each one may have it’s strong points, but none should be you only traffic producing source. Good advice here.

Very good points Doug. I guess the same is true also for any other one type of marketing tactic/process… don’t have all your eggs in one basket, even if you may own that basket, it’s still a big risk.

I’ve got to admit that since I’ve started using Twitter on a regular basis I’ve seen an increase in my traffic. Having said that I agree with you Doug that you have to use many different marketing tactics to keep a steady stream of traffic. Can’t just count on one

Starting to understand that multiple streams of income is very important even in the online world. That was always the case for upgrading from Blogger to your own blog and I can understand the reasoning now. This is something to definitely pay close attention to. Thanks.

Some great advice to follow here Doug…just as with any business, you don’t want to have all of your eggs in one basket just in case that basket gets knocked over and you have to go find another hen to get eggs from.

Kind of a weird analogy, but I think your readers will understand.

Keep up the great work.

Yes, it’s easy to get caught up in the adding follower’s game. I think it caused me to drop some of my giveaway activities in May leading to a drop in list build in June. I’ve got Twitter down to about a half hour a day now and thanks to you more focused lists. I try to post at least three times a day, and have followed your advice with a notepad file, that now has all my tweets, including old ones, and much more on it. (Including descriptions for giveaways and other items I need to use on a repeat basis.)
That way I can copy two or three different Twitter posts and get them up to my 8 accounts in mere minutes.

Have to agree with you. Everyone needs multiple sources of traffic but especially long term traffic sources like articles and blogging.

I, too, will be much more comfortable with Twitter once it is properly monetized and less likely to close the doors.
