ROI—Return on Investment—in the business world is a comparison of dollars in versus dollars out. Ideally you want the number to be as high as possible. You want a high return.

In the non-financial area you also want a high ROI. Your time and effort investment. If you do something for pleasure you want satisfying results. You want a high payback. Doesn’t matter what it is. Playing softball, you want to win; watching a movie or reading a book, you want to feel it was time well spent; participating on Twitter you want to be noticed.

You may “tweet” only to stay in touch with family and friends or you may simply want to keep up with “hot tweets” or “trending topics” to see what has captured the Twitter worlds interest at a given time or any given day.

Perhaps you use Twitter to broadcast a specific political, social, religious or commercial viewpoint or message.

Regardless of reason you need to be noticed. Let’s face it, internet marketing is competitive. If no one sees your message, what’s the point?

And even if someone sees your message, is that someone the right someone? If, for example, you’ve written selling a fantastic dating guide and the only person to see your promotional tweets is a charter member of the Society of Misogynistic Hermits it’s not too likely to sell. That’s a pretty dismal ROI for the time and effort you’ve put into writing, proofing and promoting your product.

Your poor return could be for a variety of reasons. Time and timing are two major ones. Twitter operates, excluding temporary interruptions, 8,760 hours per year. That’s over a half-million minutes. To further complicate the issue a recent study showed that Twitter passes 1,138,772 tweets per hour–over 27 million per day–through the system.

So, even if you can stay up all day and night for weeks, months or a year tweeting the odds of being seen by just the right person at just the right time are, at best, slim.

Fortunately there’s a solution available. Twitter Vending Machine is a 54 page system that will show you how to get the right followers; yes, followers interested in your niche and what you have to say. And, how to automate your tweeting so you don’t have to stay awake to tweet continually for days at a time. Marketing is hard enough with sleep.

You can easily set up Twitter Vending Machine in two or three hours and thereafter spend less than an hour a week maintaining it.

What’s in a Name?

Throughout my youth my parents stressed the importance of making a good first impression. Basic things like shined shoes, clean clothes and neatly combed hair were a given.

Of equal importance was bearing. Look a person in the eyes when talking, stand proud and erect, don’t mumble. Be proud of who you are. Tell people your name.

Neither of my late parents ever used a computer. For them socialization was a Sunday visit to family and friends, or a phone call. Keeping in touch with distant friends and relatives was done by writing letters. Twitter was something birds did; a forum was something from ancient Roman history. “On-line” was standing behind someone at the grocery store while waiting your turn to be checked out. They would have difficulty with parts of today.

Particularly the part with names. Mom would never have introduced herself as “tickedoffteenie” or dad as “muddledmurray”. They were proud of their names.

In many respects communication has changed from my parents day. Online you can’t see if my hair is combed (it is); if my shoes are shined (I’m wearing slippers) or if I’m typing in my boxers. For the record I’m wearing clean jeans and a pressed shirt. My fedora hangs on the rack until I go outside.

Its been said, “first impressions are lasting”. Online our first impression is frequently made with our “user name”. What immediately comes to mind when you see user names like, “PMSPam”, “angryAnDy”, PO’dPat” or “annoyedAnnie”? Warm and loving, friendly folks, right? Just the kind of people you want to hang out with?

Suppose these folks or people with similarly interesting names are trying to sell you something–and, isn’t everyone? Does “Jerry_the_Jerk” really inspire confidence?

Granted, online anyone can “be” anyone, but initially the impression you make is dependent on the perception of your reader.

Your chosen “user name” is important!
