Twitter Traffic Machine

With this article I am opening a new tag on this site: Product reviews. I am going to buy some products (courses, “systems”,..) online, religiously try it, and report the results to you. You decide if you want to take them or not. Of course, if my tests will result in negative experience, I’d strongly recommend NOT buying those even through my affiliate links. :-) Anyway, that’s not the case with the product I am reviewing today.

Bill Crosby’s Twitter Traffic Machine

Now, the story. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical. That’s a natural attitude when you deal with informational products sold online. But the price was marginal, just $27, and I anyway considered experimenting with the Twitter, so I went for it.

I bought Bill’s course on Sunday and I spent about an hour the same evening watching his videos and reading his report.

On Monday, I forced myself to start using it. Yes, it’s a huge effort to actually start doing things, probably the biggest thing that prevents people from succeeding online.

By Friday morning the system paid for itself TWICE in traffic. That is, if I’d use AdWords to get the clicks that Bill’s system brought me by Friday morning, I’d be paying twice more than the Bill’s course costs. And that’s assuming cheap AdWords. As you can guess, AdWords for “Internet marketing” are never cheap.

Also, by Friday my first virtual identity had about 2000 targeted followers, and nearly none of them dropped for three weeks – that’s how long I am running this test so far. Clearly, I was able to bring value to these people with very little effort on my side, if they still follow me.

Why do Bill’s system now?

One caveat to consider is that Bill’s techniques are kind of what falls into “black hat” category, or at least “grey hat” one. Twitter is still a very young system, so it all does work. For how long will it work, I don’t know.

If you are still in a Joel Comm book’s crowd preaching good content and spending time, you are like those late-90s SEO experts teaching everybody to put meta-tags into HTML code, while real SEO experts were employing black hat tactics. Then everybody started to preach black hat tactics like page cloaking, when Google was shooting anybody using these techniques on sight.

When it was happening in 90s, I recognized that “black hat” techniques don’t have the future and stayed away from them. Meanwhile, black hat SEO experts had a nice profit.

Same thing is likely to happen to Bill’s techniques. In a few years Twitter will probably ban those techniques. You can do what I did in late 90-s with SEO and stay away from his techniques and Twitter Traffic Machine. Or, you can make money with it now, and once it becomes obsolete start doing something else. Your choice.

For myself, I am doing my best to use it ethically. Even that way, it paid for itself in four days and it continues to bring me the traffic.

Another fair notice: Don’t think I disagree with Joel Comm and what he writes in his book. I am following some of Joel’s Comm advice with my main Twitter identity. But that’s because I am using it for different purposes. You probably should not use Bill’s system with your main identity either, at least not the full system. Bill’s Twitter Traffic Machine is a traffic getting machine, not a publicity engine.

Still you may employ some of Bill’s advice even with the main identity. That’s why I knit my brow when Joel says “X provided good content and built relationships with his followers and now he has 780 followers.” Remember? I had 2000 in several days. Yes, followers. I know the difference between “follower” and “following”. 2000. Followers. And now more. Thanks to Bill.

Fair notice

Now, realistically, keep in mind, you are buying the system to get traffic. And that’s what you are going to get. You still need other things in place to make money. You need conversions, and for that you need a website, good sales copies, and much more. However, the traffic is the critical part of the process and Bill’s system delivers it.

Also, I don’t think this should be the only way you get the traffic, but if you are just starting and strapped for cash then that’s a very good starter. You should use other methods to get traffic as well – articles, hubs, friendly blogs, but as one of the methods, that’s a sure way BUY. Again, by now it paid me in traffic what would likely to cost me several hundred dollars with AdWords, and I was not overdoing it for sure. In fact, right now I am spending about half an hour every other day to keep it going and even that may be automated.
