You Follow Me, I Will Follow You

Profit from binary options
Follow John Chow on Twitter

I recently made a change to my Twitter account. From now on, if you follow me on Twitter, I will follow you back. At first, I was kind of nervous about doing that because I figure I might be overwhelmed by the sheer number of updates. However, after auto following everyone who followed me for the past few days, I’ve found the updates haven’t been overwhelming at all. If anything, Twitter has become a lot more fun and engaging.

If you are already following me and I am not following you, then send a tweet to @JohnChow and I’ll add you to my follow list. If you’re new to Twitter and trying to build up your follow list, then following me is an easy to increase the number by one more.

Enter My Twitter Contest

Follow me and not only will you increase your own follow list by one more, you’ll also be able to enter my Twitter contest to win a $497 Blog Mastermind course. To enter, you only have to do two things.

  1. Follow me on Twitter.
  2. Tweet the following message to your followers

    Just entered the $497 Blog Mastermind contest. You can win by following @JohnChow and retweet. http://xr.com/master He follows back too!

The winner will be drawn at the end of the month from this list of entries. The script I’m using to track entries is set up to detect http://xr.com/master so make sure you have that item in your tweet. Good luck!

I don't really check twiiter much,, I guess I am not really that yet hook to those kind of stuffs.. but certainly I would be following you from now on :D

i just followed u on twitter, it's relatively new to me.. i joined after i saw alot of posts about twitters from u, looks nice though..

I am fairly new to twitter so autofilling would not overwelm me at this point. Hopefully I get to that point soon!

I've found that new people are following me almost everyday. I love it.

oh great! that's fair enough ... I'm one of your followers

Me too, so I guess you will follow me soon.

Hi Mr. Chow! First of all, i would like to wish u a hapi chinese new year! Gong xi Fa cai!

Great way to promote your blog as well as making your way into Twitter

Must be hundreds and hundreds of tweets/day!

I think I did the @ thing now and also altered my settings, I hope you find it John lol.

Ha ha ha, as they say "scratch my back and I will scratch yours too", right?

John, I'm already following you for long ago, but it seems that you're not following me!

How can I check if you follow me or not, beside watching all the list of followers or searching your name on my email for a message like "John Chow is following you now on Twitter"????

PS...how we do it? Should I un-follow you and then follow you again, to be autamtically followed by you?

Must be hundreds and hundreds of tweets/day!

Sure they are.

I'm thinking it's in the thousands.

I have been following you for a long while, but you aren't following me

Hi John,

Is it ok to modify the tweet? I guess it should contain the link and your name (@JohnChow)... Do I have to leave it intact? Seems like the autofollow doesn't work anymore.

But I'm happy to follow you, anyway ;)

Ya, you can mod the tweet so as long as @johnchow and the xr.com/master is on there.

Hello John, if you read this I am still confused, how can I do this @John Chow thing lol. I am trying to learn twitter techniques but I am a newbie. I follow you but want you to give me a peak as I am just a future millionaire that's all..Just need a few more 00000's to hang on the end of my bank account..I am now flying through a stargate into your wealthy arena ..of abundance! If I am stubborn and persistent enough you might see this and teach me how to do this Twit @ Jon Chow thing, or some angel might come and reply to me. I never give up hope..Failure is a luxury I can't afford. If someone can help me I would really appreciate it as I am one stubborn ass who doesn't give up until it get's to know how to do things, especially putting in html code.

I'm in. I'll be adding you. Good to see you got your name!

Alright I'm already following you and will send you a tweet to follow me back.

Nice I will finally hit the double digit followers mark.

Well, if you're going to follow me back this time, I'll start following you again. LOL!

Sounds awesome John. Just got it done.

Can you please tell me how to tweet John Chow to follow me? I don't know how to do it lol!

I am on Twitter several times per day usually and I would be honored if you all would add me:

autofollow is cool, but i prefer to manually check out my followers and go to their twitter profile, check out their site and i recently started sending thank you messages for my new followers as well as a start to interacting with them on twitter.

but ever since i started following john chow, i find my traffic increasing from when i first started my online venture. so a thanks to you as well.

boy this twitter thing certainly has some traction. Everyone else must have a much more exciting life than me. My tweets would be - at work, at work, at work, at grocery store, at home....zzzz (sleeping).

I do not know what to say but you have take the decision after so long and after in depth knowledge of twitter, so I am sure you know what you are going to do.

Just share your tricks with us as well. I hope you wont miss any significant tweet.

I just followed you on Twitter... although unintentionally (I added all my gmail contacts to twitter and you were among them)

I really don't know where is the proper place to ask you this question. Anyways, I am interested to put an advertisement in your site. Please do tell me the details by sending me an message through the email I have provided.

Thanks

How do you make it so that you automatically follow others that are following you on Twitter is their a feature in settings for this?

I never do the auto follow part myself I like to have a look at whom I follow first.I have been following you John for quite sometime now,but last time I checked you did not follow me back.

I've stopped using Twitter for a long time and then return back after a few post from you promoting twitter. Good to see that you are following us back. Not many probloggers does that.

I like twitter its great tool.

Nice! I am already following you. :)

It's not overwhelming you because you're only following ~300 people.

Once this gets up to 2000 it gets bad. . .you start to miss the important stuff

I used to follow more than 1000 peoples. My Twhirl always pop up with 20 new tweets. Sometimes, I just ignore it. Too many things to read. Just before we finish reading the first 20 tweets, we will be getting another new update.

But still, I have ahad some great info from tweeters

I can't stand the people that feel the need to send out Tweets every 2 seconds. I think if someone is going to send that much, they should at least be informative.
