If you are reading this post it is most likely because

1. I sent you a Twitter Reply

2. You are currently following me

The reason I am writing this post is because I want to separate the Diamonds from the dirt.

In the past while Twitter has begun to overflow with;

spammers – Not enjoying these at all

Smut – The Internet really needs rules

Affiliate and Network Marketers – Nothing wrong in general. I just don’t want my screen filled with marketing every other minute.

Advertisers - I don’t want to be sold something every other minute either.

So I am asking you to decide if you want to continue to follow me.

So here is why I am on Twitter.

• I am PASSIONATE about Coaching. I want to share my insights as an Executive and Life Coach
• I am PASSIONATE about Business. I’ve been building businesses for over 25 years. I want to share what I have learned.
• I want to encourage you to think and feel deeply.
• I want to give in a way that will be of benefit to you.
• I want to make you laugh from your belly (with clean humor).
• Once in a while I even want to get you dancing.

I am not here to sell you anything. Though I plan to grow my coaching practice through the various social networks, I am not looking to “sell” my services. I am here to give value, and if you wish to hire me because of the value I give, then I will be honored to serve.

It’s up to you

If you feel that you would like to be Socially Networked with me you can:

1. Tweet a reply with “Yes Follow” in it. – I will “lock” you in my followers list.
2. Subscribe to my Blogcast.
3. Subscribe in the RSS

If you don’t want to continue following then tweet reply “No Follow”, and I will block you so I do not disturb you again.

I hope this well help to create an environment where we can share great value with each other.

All the best,

Rob Moshe

A few days after I first came on the Twitter scene, I became aware of #FollowFriday. What a great Idea, or so I had thought. I’m sure that when it has started off it was a great way to recommend fellow tweeters, but with the advent of #FollowFriday generators and general abuse of its essence, it has begun to lose its luster. Now it is an opportunity for you to have a moment of elation before you realize that it is a computer program that is recommending the follow.

So I’d Like to Share with you a Four step process for giving compliments in general that you might apply to your #FollowFriday tweets.

When you are going to recognize someone for the gifts and strengths that lie within them the last thing you want to say is:

Your doing a good job

or

You look nice.

When people here statements like that, they immediately shut you out. They feel you are being totally prefabricated.

When it comes to a compliment you need Four Elements. Be ; Sincere, Specific, Succinct, Generous

Be Sincere – Make sure your compliment is for the purpose of recognizing the strengths in the other person. This in not about how they make you feel, its about the greatness you want to acknowledge in them.

Be Specific – What is it that they did? What strengths did they use? What impact have they made? Being specific shows that you took the time to notice who they “BE”

Be Succinct – Bottom line it. There is know need for a big foot shuffling introduction. Get right to what is most important to they person, the positive acknowledgment that they (and everyone else in the world) hunger for

Be Generous – The more time you spend looking for opportunities to compliment others, the more happy and productive they will become. As an added benefit the people that you lift up through your generosity of words will in turn want to carry you higher as well.

So My Twist For #Follow Friday

• Pic 2-5 tweeters that you Sincerely want to recommend today.
• Take the time to really share with others Specifically what you like about the tweeter.
• Succinct?? Well you have 140 character spaces, less the username. So make sure you don’t try to do more than one # follow Friday at a time.
• Generous? The more you selflessly give the more you will ultimately receive.

Have a great weekend.

When I originally joined twitter. It was for the sole purpose of building my presence on line, and have the ability to give to others. In the past month, though I have had the opportunity to give much, I have also been given so much by others. People have shared with me their thoughts and feelings, they have tickled me with their humor and have depend my growth with their insights.

Thank You.

I have found that as evening descends (11:30pmEST) my twitter mood gets less businessy and more playful.
So as we begin #followfriday and enter the rejuvenating weekend, I thought I would play a little Diddy that’ll put a TWEET in your step.

Enjoy

I Will Build Your Business For Free.

I Received an @Reply to one of my auto tweets and felt that I would like to answer it at more length.

It was from Angela Campbell. Below is her comment.

AngelaVCampbell@Rob_Moshe I suggest doing your own posts instead of autoresponding. People like a personal touch!27 minutes ago from web in reply to Rob_Moshe

I partially agree with Angela. There is nothing like a personal touch, human interaction is a key to good health.

I am quite new to twitter but I see that Twitter fills many different needs. Some people want to talk politics and finance. Some want to talk philosophy and spirituality. Others want to talk business, growth and success. And  there are some that want to talk about every action in their day, like doing laundry and going to take out the garbage.

I will be honest with you. I am so not interested in talking about the mundane actions of my day. I don’t like wasting peoples reading time with unimportant stuff. “But wait Rob, If those people care about you, don’t they want to know about all these things”?

That is true but I also care about them, so if I am going to tell someone something, its going to be about what I’m doing to make a difference in our world. I value my followers time so I try to only share and ask for value.

What I am here to do on Twitter is to help YOU achieve YOUR personal vision of YOUR best self. It’s not who I think you should be. It’s about “Who YOU Be”

I’m also here to share ideas and insights that I have learned over the year, and to learn from others, so that we can all grow to our best.

In that light I feel the need for a dual approach.

When you have thousands of people following you it is hard to have a conversation with everyone. It is also difficult to always be online at the same time or on line period (I still have to do some work).

I’m here to interact with people that want to grow in Life in Business and Online. So I created two auto tweets that help me connect with those people. I alternate them every half hour, because I feel I won’t be annoying that way. I am making the assumption that people are not spending hour after hour on Twitter (If you are, you might want to do some deep reflection on goals and value), and that every half and hour there are new eyes online that didn’t read my prior tweets.

This approach helps me to connect with those that are interested in the same thing.

Once they have connected with me there is an opportunity for rich and valuable conversation.

That leads us to the personal tweets. Once people enter my space I better ad value. If I was all Auto Talk and no Personal Action. I would end up being the only one reading my Tweets (and my mother too. You can always count on Mom)
But I make sure that once someone enters my space I am there to give them value. I work to give solid information and insights and ask questions that wake people up. I back up automation with personal substance. And I let anyone put me to the test.

You can search my @Rob_Moshe to see the great personal conversations I have.

Some Tips On Auto Responding.

1. Do it sparingly – avoid the temptation to repeat the same tweet more than 12 times a day.

2. Give Value -  If all you are doing is trying to get people to buy your product and are not interested in creating a relationship I might suggest newspaper adds or adwords. People are here for value, you tweets should lend them selves to creating good conversation.

3. More Personal than Auto – Again this is about being social, even if this is about business, you are here to network with other, to get to know what each other is about. If all you do is Auto Tweet all day and then say “Hello everyone don’t you just love my product”, only Mom will be responding.

4. Days Off and Vacations – We all need down time (a take my Sabbath rest seriously). If you feel that you must maintain your presence while away, be sure to really vary your auto posts. Let people know that you are taking a break but keeping it interesting.

Again I would like to thank Angela for helping to initiate this post. I hope you found it valuable.

All the best,

Rob
