[Case Study] Twitter Journey for a Lazy Person

I just read wizard04?s twitter journey and was really inspired by it, but since I am a lazy person, I thought to myself what if I will not do manual creation of accounts and everything will be outsourced, Will it make a difference? So here you go, this thread is born
Anyway, I think this is not considered a journey but more of a case study, but still, I will be updating it on a weekly basis or whenever there is significant event that will happen as this progress


Below are the set up that I will do for this one:


Twitter accounts ? purchased 50 pva twitter accounts @ $0.30 = $15
Tweets ? initially text tweets, purchased 15k worth of tweets for $5
Proxies ? purchased 10 + 2 proxies at instantproxies for $10/month
Twitter bot ? purchased FollowLiker for $97.99
VPS ? already have one for my other campaigns so I will not be including this in the cost although you can purchase one for $10/month

So in total, the upfront cost for this campaign is $127.99 and the recurring cost will be $10/month without the VPS, if you consider buying VPS then it will be $137.99 upfront and the recurring cost will be $20/month


I am considering to run this campaign for a year, so total cost will be $237.99 without VPS and $357.99 with VPS


I can?t think of short term milestones at the moment but at the end of this campaign which is 1 year from now, I am expecting that this should produce at least 1M twitter followers, and as for the earnings, I think it should be able to generate at least 10x the total money I spent.


Methodology


I will be using the twitter setup stated in this thread for safety measures


Aside from that I will not be buying fake followers so this campaign might have a very very slow start until it breaks the 2k followers which, I believe is still ok for me since I am not in a rush. Will it break the 2000 follower mark? I don?t know, we?ll find out later


Also, FollowLiker is set up to 50 threads with 1:5 proxy ratio (1 proxy ? 5 twitter accounts) which I think is still reasonable and still below twitter?s radar


I am planning to target a majority of US followers so I will be setting up FL to run 8am ? 11pm US time


I will just be tweeting 1-2 generic text tweets a day per account until I get to a certain amount of followers


I will also be using wizard04?s strategy of not following users who followed you and unfollowing users who did not follow you after 5 days


This is my setup for now. I am still waiting for the accounts to be delivered so there is nothing much that I can do at the moment and just play with FL with my old twitter account. I started yesterday and as of this writing, I gained 7 followers

Good luck in your journey!

I am no expert and all, but five accounts on single proxy, I use at max 3 and I am super paranoid, what do you think is safe limit? Also, any monetization plans in the future?

I am using FL for now and altough I had some problems this thing is an amazing piece of software, I am gaining on average around 2-3k followers just through following and one tweet per day !

Good luck with your journey mate. Subscribed.

No idea as well. Its just that the ratio came from FL user guide. Anyway, i will just be tweeting general texts so i see no issues with it but the moment one of my accounts get banned then i will change the proxy ratio

Monetization plans? I'll cross the bridge when i get there. But most probably from affiliate links

Good luck with your journey dude


How to monetize ??

No plans atm, but most probably by affiliate links thru my website. Might get advise from others as well in the future

Question to whom are you following??
Are you following followers of an account or Scraping from a keyword??

Good luck on your journey!!

During my test, I tried to follow accounts through scraping by keyword but the problem is I am getting other IMers as well. And I have no idea if this is good or bad so maybe when its time for my real campaign, i'll just try to scrape followers of celebrities/public figures that i think is within my niche

Where do you get targetted niche based tweets to purchase? Any suggestions?

No idea to be honest. And I am not really thinking about it at the moment and just focused on building followers. Maybe I'll monetize it once the followers reach 100k++

my plan is to age the accounts first, so maybe no link tweets in the first 3-4 months or until I reach 100k++ followers
