Completed Vindicare Assassin And so we’re all done, exactly 336 hours after setting up this account and posting the first entry. I’ve managed to get 94 followers at the time of writing, which is a not a bad effort in two weeks and that my goal was 100. But 94% complete is not bad at all. I’ll be writing up my findings at a later date because its taught me a lot about Twitter and what its like to…

Growth Graph Now we’re within 24 hours of our deadline for this social media challenge and we’re 90% complete on our goal of 100 followers in two weeks! I have managed to get in some decent paint sessions and completed my model, but new followers have definitely dropped off. It looks like the Monday and Tuesday were best for new followers, I don’t think I did anything differently on those two…

Finding Followers Its Wednesday morning now after a night of painting for a while and putting out a single Tweet of my mini. This gained me just one follower despite using hashtags to get ReTweets and attention. It seems that late Tweets, after 10PM, get let attention than those earlier in the evening around 5PM or 6PM. So I saved some photos for this morning and posted those around 9AM, this…

Vindicare Digital Camo Done Just a quick post this, its only been one evening, a night and a morning since my last post and we’re up by ten followers. I am not really sure how, but we’re growing without posting images or really tweeting much. It looks like I am on track for hitting the 100 followers in a week target – which feels pretty good. But the last 44 won’t come easy. (more…)

Vindicare Camp Coming Together Nicely OK people, things have started to heat up. I am starting to feel very odd about this now though. As I am interacting with more people now. The odd Tweet here and there, but its picking up the followers. It seems that people do not respond to just being Followed, ReTweeted or Favourited. Real interactions with mentions seems to be the way forward. I…

Digital Camo Vindicare Right we’re into some painting progress now with 3 ReTweets and 5 Favourites. Followers are up and interactions are up too. The going is slow it seems though, I need to refine what I am doing. I have updated my profile image and my banner to a new version of the mini. Before today there was no banner and the profile image was just a primed model, but now we have some paint…

Digital Camo Vindicare I’ve not done anything on the mini today. I posted it again on Twitter and followed more accounts, plus retweeted some images from those accounts. This doesn’t seem to have done anything and my single mini that is primed is going unnoticed. The lesson here seems to be that people don’t like primed minis, thats no surprise really. (more…)

Primed Vindicare So it’s now the Monday evening, three days after setting up my new account and total followers still stands at one. Why? Because I’ve done nothing. I wanted to have a picture of a mini up by now but it’s tipping it down with rain at the moment and I’m only able to spray outside at the moment. Aerosols inside isn’t good for one’s relationship, or a small child! I wanted to spray…
