Follow Friday – the NP client edition :)

FollowEveryone knows my thoughts on Follow Friday by now – simple lists of names don't do it for me and I never follow anyone from those lists. Give me a REASON to follow someone and I'll consider it! Which is why I tend to put my FFs in a blog post such as this one!

This week's FFs are all NikkiPilkington.com clients – some are new, some long term, but they're all people we love working with.

Your #followfriday Mission, should you choose to accept it

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been really remiss over the past few Fridays. See, I started out last year LOVING Follow Friday, the one day a weekw here you suggested people that your followers should follow. I diligently posted details of people I thought were great, and hoped that others followed them. I got really excited everytime someone suggested me for #FF too, and thanked them loudly.

And then I got fed up with the ‘lists’ – no reasons why I should follow someone, just lists of Twitter handles I couldn’t be bothered checking out. So I made a few posts along the lines of ‘tell us WHY we should follow someone’ and set off on a mission to practice what I preached.

Seems like only a week ago we had the last one…

In the spirit of my last post about Follow Friday – Stop Spamming Me With FollowFriday! – I won’t be posting any Follow Friday tweets, just pointing people to this post.

So, who do I recommend you follow, and why?

  • First up, @Richard__White (that’s 2 underscores, for some reason!). Richard consistently posts great sales tips and hints, as well as helping to promote other Tweeters. His Accidental Salesman blogs are always great to read, and he’s an all round nice chap!

Stop spamming me with Follow Friday!

I caught a Facebook post / Twitter status from @grahamjones this morning – it appears that he’s had someone unfollow him on Twitter because they see his #followfriday recommendations as spam.

It’s true to say that if you follow a lot of people, then it’s difficult to see the real content in amongst the constant #followfriday messages on a Friday, and if someone sends numerous FFs, then it could get a little annoying.

But I’m a great believer in Follow Friday – I think it’s important to recommend people for your followers to check out, so what to do?

It’s #followfriday! A quick reminder, and my list

Once again, #followfriday rolls around, and once again I’m hoping to see *reasons* to follow people, not just a random list that gives me no pointers.

Last week I wrote this post entitled #FollowFriday – it’s not just a list, to explain my thoughts on Follow Friday.

For those that haven’t read it and can’t be bothered, a quick recap:

…today, instead of sending out 140 characters consisting of just usernames, have a think, and tell me WHY I should be following someone….

So, here are some of my #followfriday suggestions for today:
