I love Bob Proctor, but he is an idiot when it comes to Social Media

If you have been living under a rock then I will excuse you for not knowing who Bob Proctor is, but if you haven’t then you would know that he is a life success coach that is connected to “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction. I enjoy most of what he talks about and have followed some of his principles. Especially much about how you have the opportunity to change your energy and the energy around you.
Bob was not utilizing the “law of attraction” when he signed on to the social media phenomenon known as “Twitter”. I personally love Twitter. It has allowed me to stay connected and actually connect to people that I never would have connected with under normal circumstances. With any social media concept where you have the opportunity to connect with thousands and even millions of people, there will be idiots trying to abuse that opportunity…and I believe this is the case with Bob Proctor.
There are many so-called guru’s out there, social media or otherwise that are telling people something so stupid I can’t believe it myself. I had heard from another idiot named Alex jeffrey’s that he tells all of his “students” “to follow” 2000 people on Twitter right off the bat. Not a good sign. Only the very stupid will become friends with you because anyone that knows an inkling about anything social would bnow that you are looking to spam the shit out of them with some ridiculous product.
I literally received seven, that’s correct…seven “follows” from Bob Proctor. Why in anyone’s right mind would you have seven of the same accounts on Twitter? Unless you where thinking that it is a good idea to spam the shit out of me with your “guruology”
Bob, you seem like a nice old man and I’d be lying if I didn’t think you were pretty intelligent but do yourself a favor and stop looking like an idiot when it comes to social media applications like Twitter.
as well as receive other Breaking News!
Hey Roc, here is the deal.
The accounts are fake. Those are hustlers trying to amass a big twitter list using the familiar name. They then try to cash in on this big twitter list by offering affiliate products, etc.
The way this is works is, because usually when someone follows you on twitter, you don’t have an incentive to follow them back.
Now, when someone famous like Bob follows, you are like, cool Mr. Proctor follows me, I’m honored, I will follow him too.
Once you follow that fake hustler, you are on his twitter list and he can send you affiliate prmotions, spam, etc.
Ask for what you want - the law of attraction.
I challenge you to STOP thinking about Bob Proctor following you on twitter. Don’t deny it. Him following you seven times is evidence that you’ve been focusing a little too much on old Bob and his twitter activities! haha! Instead, try focusing your attention and your thoughts on:
A WORLD WHERE ONLY ONE BOB PROCTOR FOLLOWS YOU ON TWITTER
Imagine HOW YOU WOULD FEEL if Bob Proctor only followed you one time.
FEEL the happiness in knowing that when he invites you to a seminar - you will only need to go ONE TIME, not SEVEN.
ok, enough fun with this - later!
lol.
I knew that it must have been a fake Bob Proctor but I think that if you put yourself out there in the world you need to keep a handle on your “brand” and how it can be used against you.
Michael- BTW- very funny comment.
