The Secret To Getting Thousands Of Followers

In this tweet the other day, Andrew Warner said:
Of all the people I interviewed, Timothy Sykes (@timothysykes) has the most devoted fans, by far. They love him & follow everything he does.
Judging by my Covestor popularity and performance outright domination, the 700 person TIMalert subscriber base just 4 months since inception–and out of 30+ alerts, 25 outright wins of 20%+ hahaha Jewwwwww yahhhhhhh–the 6,000 or so daily website visitors (main site and TIMalerts.com subscribers-only site) and the hundreds of daily dumb to smart questions I get emailed, I’d say he was dead on.
The secret?
Give useful information. Give honest information. Give information that makes people money. Give them information that makes their lives easier.
And don’t hold back.
And promote your testimonials form people you’ve helped banked. Promote them like linking to articles like this one, when you help someone make $40,000 in 4 months.
And publicly fend off all haters and criticisms, that only makes your case stronger.
That’s it.
Seriously.
Just be prepared to spend 15-20 hour days blogging, emailing, linking, researching…
Cuz if you slack, even for a little bit, there are others waiting in the wings.
Well, maybe not in finance…cuz they’re all eogtisitical / non-mistake-admitting scumbags who don’t understand the power of blogging, brutal honesty and new interactive technologies.

Pallian and I have been working our asses off the past few days to get all this stuff up and ready, but alas, you’ll see quite a bit of “coming soon” pages. Over the next few days though, we’ll be unveiling all these new websites, tools and DVDs (the ones I briefly summarized in THIS blog post) so get excited.
Specifically, TIMalert subscribers can look forward to a chatroom this coming week.
For now, I wanna hear what you guys think of this new site design.

How My Blog Made $70,000 Even While I Went Away For 10 Days In August
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 8th of Sep, 2008 03:47:29 PM Sponsor Offer:
Well, $69,972 for the month to be exact…pisses me off I was so close to breaking the $70,000 barrier, but came up a lousy $28 short! What can I say, it’s a tough life.
This getting-ridiculous-rather-quickly figure is up from $45,000 in July (see July details HERE), up from $25k in June, $15k in May (those are estimated cuz they weren’t high enough for me to spend hours dissecting everything in order to brag about it)
…and of course the icing on the cake is that I had a nice trip to Japan for 10 days (see itinerary HERE, pics/videos will be up shortly) even while my blog was more than paying for the trip as I was taking it!
Here’s the breakdown:

2. Building on the success of my PennyStocking Instructional DVD, later this month, I’ll begin pre-selling three, count em three, more instructional DVDs, one specifically focusing on short selling to be called “ShortStocking”, a followup to PennyStocking that goes into intraday chart pattern detail and updates pattern mutations and variables that have changed since last year and finally a ridiculously long DVD (guessing it’s gonna come in over 10 hours) that has me teaching actual PennyStocking students, with their FAQs, aka think LiveStock without the dumb crap/that’s actually useful…gonna be combo deals galore, and pre-sale customers will save 10% over prices when these 3 DVDs formally debut in October.
3. As I’ve learned over the past few months exactly what information people are looking for, we’ll be unveiling

Rule #1: dedication…I’m doing this post on a layover in the Toronto Airport!
Building a successful blog/internet brand ain’t easy. Nine months into this game, ‘m still workin’ 16-18 hour days…and lovin’ every second of it. Check out THIS awesome near-hourlong podcast interview I did with Mixergy.com, a site that interviews “web visionaries” as we discussed what’s worked (PennyStocking, TIMalerts), what hasn’t (TIMbucks, TIMaffiliates) and what you need to do to create your own successful personal brand, if you’re into that kind of thing. Mixergy’s founder Andrew Warner even did THIS snazzy video intro.
You like that? Yeah you did. Here’s the 2nd interview:

The 11 Most Popular PennyStocking Blogs
Posted by timothysykes on Sun 10th of Aug, 2008 10:29:19 AM Sponsor Offer:
I’m incredibly proud to report that PennyStockers are starting blogs everywhere so I’m glad that my full throttle promotion of transparency in this joke of an industry is finally beginning to pay off (see all my verified trades HERE). After all, it doesn’t matter if you’re making millions, thousands or just learning the game, the key to success (as I detail in my instructional DVD which you can purchase HERE), is being honest–not only because it’s right, but because trading is all about understanding your strengths and weaknesses, maximizing one and minimizing the other, and you can’t figure that stuff out if you’re lying to yourself and everyone else.
Behold the 11 most popular PennyStocking blogs (PS I encourage you 11 bloggers to repost this post–and link back bitches–to help encourage traffic amongst one and all) :

Suck On This John Chow, My Blog Made $45,000 Last Month!
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 6th of Aug, 2008 04:31:03 PM Sponsor Offer:
Awwww yeah, that’s right, not only am I gonna report my trading gains/losses (see July 2008 review HERE), now I’m also gonna detail my blog’s earnings each month.
Cuz as much as I like cutting through all the BS in finance/trading/penny stocks, there’s even more BS in “make money online” racket–I know cuz after running this blog for 9 months, I’ve seen lots of crazy shit, most of which hasn’t made me a dime.
Inspired by John Chow’s monthly blog income reports (see his $40,000 June HERE), below are the numbers for my blog last month–proving that my biz model is superior to most, especially considering Chow only made $40k even though he’s got 27x more RSS readers (help me out and signup for mine HERE!) and and about 3x as many visitors….if this post is popular enough, I’ll begin an entire new blog devoted to how to make money form blogging, maybe with a project to be titled “Transparent Blog Income” (TBI) or something to that effect…
These are the July results of a hardworking internet entrepreneur, think 16-20 hours days, including weekends…it’s all about how bad you want it, f$%^ the 4-hour work week you fat lazy American slobs, working hard, and honestly, is the path to righteousness and fulfillment:

Guess What I Said To The SEC On Twitter?
Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 5th of Aug, 2008 12:17:57 PM Sponsor Offer:
Sure, you can write letters/email them on their official website SEC.gov, but since they are so understaffed, underpaid, inbred, illiterate and incompetent, there’s little chance you’ll actually be heard–unless of course you’re writing about insider trading, as time and again that’s what these dimwits have proven to be their only concern…
So when a few bloggers started writing about how they were on Twitter (see their profile HERE), a rather new form of internet communication, I had to direct message them my thoughts (since there’s a good chance they won’t be able to ignore that) (See my Twitter profile HERE)
Can you guess what I said?

Tell Me What Rewards You Want For TIMbucks

My apologies for the delay, just waaaaay too much going on lately. For those who don’t know, TIMbucks is a rewards program meant to try to bribe people to participate/comment more. The plan is to giveaway away little gifts like TIMalerts subscriptions, autographed copies of An American Hedge Fund, Apple iPod Shuffles, stuff like that.
Now is the time to figure out exactly what we’re gonna giveaway, most due to a really cool little website, Reebles.com, sponsoring TIMbucks, helping this cheap Jew give this stuff away.

Important Message To All The Newbie Traders Here
Posted by timothysykes on Wed 25th of Jun, 2008 07:06:49 PM Sponsor Offer:
As I not only preached, but demonstrated in THIS post, those of us with small accounts should trade penny stocks with extreme caution. Due to the fact that Osama bin SEC’s terrorism means YOU must pick and choose your trades wisely…your psychology should be that of somebody who never wants to trade again (until the agony of not being in an ideal trade is too much), not somebody who can’t wait to trade again (overtrading causes losses).
More importantly, my website, TimothySykes.com is the ONLY place where you should feel free to ask questions and share your annoyingly newbie ideas and typical naivety. Other message boards like TheLion.com and Investorshub.com are for professional traders, while not admitting it publicly most of whom lose so they are rather grumpy and cranky. Some even bank a ton so they’re even crankier (mo money mo problems). Unlike me, they could care less about your education—it’s not their business to care and they have bills to pay and bottles to drain—so they don’t want to be bothered with your crap.
