The low-down on Brute Force Twitter

Is Brute Force Twitter a true scam? I don’t know. I suppose you get the materials you pay for. Just that the techniques they’re selling aren’t all that revolutionary and don’t really add any value to anyone.

But the Brute Force Twitter “method” was exposed a few days ago on Upstart Blogger, and as expected, the lawyers have sent a cease and desist letter. What are they suggesting that Ashley Morgan, the author of the blog ought to stop doing? Distributing their materials, of course. Which he’s not even doing.

So what are the Brute Force Twitter clowns really selling? Well they’re supposedly selling a “method” that will get you thousands of followers on Twitter. It’s akin to a get-rich-quick scam. Try to suck as many people in as fast as you can, regardless of the quality of those people, and voila!

Here’s some marketing hype:

If you would like to add (literally) tens of thousands of new Twitter followers in the next 30 days… quickly and easily, even if you’re brand new to the Internet and have zero name recognition now… then here’s how I did it.

And more:

Did you know a 10,000-person reach FM radio station in a town of 200,000 people is worth $3-15 million? Now compare that to the list of 74,000 people on Twitter that I built for FREE in just 2 and ½ months… usually spending no more than 15-25 minutes a day on it.

In a lot of ways, my Twitter following is way more powerful than that radio station’s listener following. Seriously think about that because Social Media is EXPLODING and you need to get in on the ground floor and ride the wave up.

And the big promises go on and on.

For the small fee of $97, you can learn how to get these thousands of Twitter followers. Or you can just read Upstart Blogger for free.

The program goes like this. You essentially become part of the Twitter spam game to gather as many followers as possible. Find a big Twitter spammer (they’re all over the place) and follow all of their followers… because if someone will follow a spammer, they’re probably going to follow you.

You’re also supposed to find people termed “feeders,” who follow just about everyone who follows them. Since they’re big followers, you follow them, so they’ll follow you back.

There are more of these spammy tactics, and Ashley’s laid them all out on his blog, so go have a look.

What do you end up with if you follow this method? Well, in addition to being $97 poorer, you also have tons of Twitter followers who are either low quality or don’t care what you have to say (or both). And what’s that really worth? There isn’t money in a big list of dummies following you. The value from Twitter is more from the connections and the sharing of information.
