Rick Calvert, Getting the Most out of Conferences & Gaining Twitter Followers – ES035

Round 1 brings on TWITTER! We look at an article by Marc Guberti on a specific strategy on Twitter to bring on more followers. Joe and Dan aren't going to agree on this, Dan sees this tactic as spam and Joe is more free-spirited and shares his results testing it out. If you enjoy Twitter, you might want to consider this strategy.
