Twitter. To those who are not in the know, a waste of time. A platform to scream about yourself to yourself. To those in the know, a money spinner, a business winner and a chance to add real weight and gravitas to your business or person.
I currently have over 100,000 Twitter followers - putting me in the top 1% of Twitter users on the planet.
My most popular tweet to date has been the Andy Murray duck-billed platypus tweet, which you may have seen. It was Retweeted over 3,000 times on Twitter, shared over 60,000 times on Facebook, was stolen and shared by every sporting company in the world, from Paddy Power to the New York Red Bulls. The tweet became viral.
My tweets regularly appear in every media outlet in this country and beyond - from The Telegraph to The Huffington Post.
I have taken complete control of Twitter accounts for agencies, and doubled, tripled and quadrupled their following. I have taken agencies from zero followers to thousands, from hundreds to tens of thousands.
There are many, many people who say they are an expert at social media. The only way to tell if they are, is to ask to see how many Twitter followers they have, or how big they are on Facebook. Usually, these so called social media experts blather on about knowing all the secrets, but only have a hundred and thirty followers. The truth is, they know nothing.
My numbers speak for themselves.
