Currently I have three Twitter accounts, based on my three favorite niches, gardening, online marketing and fishing with friends. I originally had just one account and lumped all those I follow into that one account. Wrong thing to do because it just frustrated me to no end and I stopped using Twitter.

I Think Twitter is Twitter-iffic

Eventually I started a couple more accounts and shifted those I follow around by dropping them and re-following them under a relevant account. That has made my Twitter life so much less stressful.

Now I don’t mind logging in as my accounts are more under control. I even sent out a few Tweets this morning and felt good about it.

But I still have one big question: Why Are You Following Me?

About the only time I was checking my account was when I would get a notice that someone was following me. Perhaps seeing all the people following me that have nothing to do with my niches, other than making money online, turned me off Twitter a bit.

It just doesn’t make any sense to me that people would follow my garden tweets when their site is about rap music. Of course I could be missing something here. Perhaps they want to learn about gardening or fishing and perhaps they think I want to know more about rap music. Not clear about it though.

Since I sat down with my coffee to write this short post I have recieved two emails telling me I have more Twitter followers. I looked at both of them right away because I was curious if they would be from others in my niche.

Well neither were in my niche. One was an exercise guy and the other was a girl trying to get a million followers.

Unfortunately Twitter seems to be a big collection of people that want to out do other Twitterers by collecting followers.

Glad I Get To Pick Who I Follow

Well I don’t follow or collect people to follow. I follow those in my niche that provide me with good niche related conversation. I couldn’t image following hundreds of people in each of my niches, so I just follow my top few.

Note: While I was writing this post a total of 5 twitter emails arrived with 5 new people following me. Even though I now have niche specific accounts they still didn’t match any niche I market to.
