I've already spotted the blatant marketers and find it disappointing that these people are not prepared to give something of value to followers and just expect sales. It just dilutes the purpose of Twitter and these guys don't seem to realise that people are not stupid and see right through it! Not good for marketers who are really trying hard. Let's all follow the path of the advice in this article - it makes sense! I’m a Twitter newbie and was very uncertain about how to promote my blog.

Everyone is so caught up with "how many followers" they have they forget to build real relationships. Thank you! Love the post Nathan.

I thought it was just me but receiving auto-reply DM with ads and pitches is somewhat annoying. Great Post and thanks for bringing it to light. I am so glad someone finally mentioned!

It is so aggravating and unprofessional. If people continue to "market" using Twitter in this manner, they are inevitably going to be hit with the Twitter slap, and have their accounts suspended or deleted all together. I have wrote a similar post on my Twitter Tips blog, check it out <a href="http://twittertips.yourtimetoday.com/twitter-tips/affiliate-marketing-and-twitter/" rel="nofollow">Affiliate Marketing and Twitter</a>.

But I do have the desire to help others learn and I give away lots of master e-courses for this very purpose. I truly believe in my products and want others to learn there great value, but will take your good advice and try to build my business better once again great words William Kayser Thank you very much Nathan, I have been guilty of some of this and point is noted.

This is exactly what i needed to know. As a complete newbie to Twitter and Affiliate Marketing, it has been one big round of confusion. I had heard about twitter and wanted to find out what it was all about. It's like entering a whole new world. The comments have given me more information about what Twitter is all about than anything else i have come across. I have been with Twitter for about 2 weeks and i am uncertain if i qualify as one of those 'spammers' and if so, please accept my apologies. I do believe in honesty and integrity, and i do believe in building relationships with your client base, as well as providing valuable information / service and products that are beneficial. Getting used to the culture of Twitter is going to be easier than learning about links, urls, and their use and purpose ... not to mention DM's that i have just found out are direct messages. Can any of you please direct me to someone who can help me to organise my profile, ie, separating comments of education and affiliate marketing. I know that after a while i will gain some measure of sanity, but for now it is really confusing. It was great for me to read this article and i thank you very much for the information.

The idea of building a relationship is valuable and of course when the time comes, then promote. This way, a person who trusts you, will seek further information from you. Above all, be honest and use integrity. I don’t use twitter as much as I should. The idea of building a relationship is valuable and of course when the time comes, then promote.

This needs to be shared as often as possible, because most of the tweets I receive are asking for money or selling me something. I want to build relationships with my social networks, not get beaten down by pitches. I just hope that I am not doing this to my tweeps!! Thank you for this!

Automated tweets that don't target diddly are neither. Twitter is supposed to be about relationships and conversations. Automated tweets that don’t target diddly are neither.

It's illegal to add a person to an email list without their express permission. And I agree with you about Facebook. I'm getting pitches from people who I've even un-friended still! Grrrrr!
