In all social media, your strategy and goals are what are most important.If you had 300 Twitter followers who were local investors in your market, and who you regularly did business with, I'd say you were in a MUCH better position than someone with 25,000 followers that were just random folks.Social media isn't about the number of people you're connected to, but the quality of relationship you forge with those people.That's why the top posters on BP are typically finding the most success from our site -- they are forging the strongest relationships.I really believe that you must have a strategy on Twitter or any other social platform or you're just spinning your wheels.

In this day and age, it is tough to hide with all of the social media.
