When I post relevant and insightful comments, those comments are in fact noticed. My goal is not affiliate marketing, but rather to present myself as knowledgeable about the San Diego real estate market. I find that people recognize and seek out professional advice on Twitter, and as the LaJollaHomesPro on Twitter I'm able to fill that niche in my area. function sbmgOptinValidateForm435(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm435' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm435' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

It amazes me how many people in the IM space DON'T follow back. It seems so simple -- and I can't be unusual when i say that I will unfollow folks who don't follow me in a reasonable amount of time. Maybe that's selfish, but we all want to believe we're important, right? It's just common sense to me to follow those who follow you. Thanks, Susanne! function sbmgOptinValidateForm40(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm40' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm40' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Thanks for these - I especially like the "Please RT" tip because just makes sense your Tweet will then get exposed to people that aren't currently following you. function sbmgOptinValidateForm738(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm738' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm738' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

I don't want to follow a lot of people who may be tweeting about topics I don't care about as I'd end up with a Twitter Feed full of clutter. I prefer to not auto follow and pick and choose those who interest me to follow. Just my two cents. function sbmgOptinValidateForm35(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm35' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm35' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Thanks so much for sharing them. Can't wait to brainstorm this weekend. function sbmgOptinValidateForm286(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm286' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm286' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

LOL! This is a great topic. Here are some of my own ideas: • When you have something REALLY, REALLY good and you want more to see it, don't just say 'Please RT' in the tweet. Personally ask some key followers via DM to RT it for you. • Follow journalists who cover your niche. (There are literally thousands of reporters on Twitter.) Most will follow you back if they see you as an expert source for potential stories. (Read: make sure some of your tweets are showing off your expertise) • Welcome new followers and instead of sending them to some web page, begin engaging them in a conversation. • Ask for more followers. Referrals really do work, but only if you ask. Tweet something like: 'Like my #BeHeard tips? Why not tell a friend to follow me?" function sbmgOptinValidateForm664(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm664' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm664' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }
