While watching the video, I opened a new window and visited his current Twitter page. He had over 40,000 followers! That did it! As of that morning, I had about 250 followers, and I had struggled to find them. Crosby claimed I could increase my following by 16,000 within 90 days, using FREE tools to automate the process. The “magic” was in how those tools were combined to send a steady stream of useful content through one’s Twitter account, attracting people to follow, then having another free service automatically follow them back. Voila! Automated growth.

I couldn’t resist. I paid for the training – I think it was a paltry $27 or something like that, and I spent an hour watching Crosby actually set up the entire process, click-by-click. After each step, I paused the video and performed the step myself. This continued until the end of the training – approximately an hour later.

Just prior to launching Crosby’s “Twitter Traffic Machine,” I captured a screenshot of my Twitter page, which showed 258 followers. During this past week, I’ve made very few Tweets myself, mostly humorous one-liners, but my “Machine” has been averaging one or two Tweets every hour, around the clock, all related to my interests (see my Twitter profile at @Danorator for details).

This morning – one week later – I checked my Twitter account and saw over 1,147 followers (click an image to view full, dated screenshots). How many of these new friends are guitar or jazz enthusiasts, or dominoes players, I have no idea yet, but the point of the exercise was to prove Crosby’s assertion that Twitter followings could be attracted through an automated process of sharing content with the world.

As this auto-pilot syndication process continues, the rate of growth should steadily increase, since many of my Tweets will be Re-tweeted to my followers’ followers. Crosby’s claim, therefore, should be easily achieved.

Could I have figured out this Twitter “magic” myself? Of course, but it might’ve taken months to put it all together. Crosby says it took him over 2,000 hours of research to perfect the “Machine.” My experience proves that his time investment was worth it, and saves me both time and effort to build my social networks.

One word of caution about any automated follower-gathering system: If the traffic that matters is highly targeted, make sure that the “following” being generated is properly filtered. Having a huge mass of friends isn’t the point — having friends that trust you and like you, and want what you have to offer, is the point. In the end, the person with the most sales wins, even if someone else has the most Tweeters!

1. They have all mastered the art of generating online traffic and directing it to their blogs or opt-in capture pages. Much of this traffic is free, but some is through Pay-Per-Click (AdWords, etc.).
2. They have all employed an online “engine” of sorts, to automatically provide free content and training to those who opt-in as well as a “back office” for use by those who wish to implement their training.
3. They have all made generic training materials available for purchase or subscription to those who opt-in, to help advance the skills necessary to succeed.
4. They have all produced high-quality capture pages and sales letters that generate high conversion rates.
5. They have all leveraged Social Networks to exponentially syndicate their content and produce significant “free” traffic.
6. They have all realized that “Attraction Marketing” must both attract and sort their prospects, separating the truly motivated entrepreneurs from the unqualified.
7. Only the “qualified” are offered anything beyond the generic training, but it’s usually the prospect’s idea and timing that dictates any further dealings.
8. They have all mastered the art of converting prospects into superstar network marketers, or certainly the art of attracting those who are already superstars.
9. Meanwhile, the front-end generic materials more than pay for the cost of prospecting for back-end network marketing representatives, thus offering them “funded prospecting,” making a profit on every lead whether or not a purchase is made.

Setting up these businesses was neither “simple” nor “quick”. However, the parts of the business that would drain them of their productive time were automated, leaving them free to create new content, respond to their qualified prospects, and have a life outside of the Internet.

If an automated online business that can do all this intrigues you, or excites you, or keeps you up at night thinking of the possibilities, stay tuned to this site and those mentioned above for the free training necessary to do it. We are finishing the videos for a Free Attraction Marketing Video Boot Camp, with the strategies and tactics needed to build an Attraction Marketing business. You’ll be able to opt-in very shortly!
