only

Description

people who follow them.

Take 20 minutes to follow 1000.
Here is the fun and easy part, click “Follow” beside everyone’s name, scroll down
and do this for the entire list. It is fast and easy!
E.g. BC Business Magazine has 11,482 followers; people who follow BC Business
Magazine for the most part are BC Businesses, if this is your target then follow
everyone who follows BC Business Magazine.
On the flip side you can follow the people that they follow, in fact that can be an even
better group of followers because in most cases they have hand picked whom they
are following.
E.g. Pick someone locally that you really respect look at who they follow and start
following.
You can search key words here http://search.twitter.com/ to help find good profiles.

2. Another way to get followers on twitter is to follow lists.

If you go to my profile http://twitter.com/ByzHubOwen
Click “Lists” and you will see several, my lists consist of small to medium business
owners in BC, let’s start with the ByzHub list.
Lists are usually very specific, but harder to find.
Click the “Following” tab
http://twitter.com/#!/ByzhubOwen/byzhub/members (click link for direct path )
As before here is the fun and easy part, click “Follow” beside everyone’s name, scroll
down and do this for the entire list. It is fast and easy!
Now watch as people start to recipocate, 1/3 of people follow back, spend 20
minutes today and in a week you should be at 300 or more followers that are local
and relevant.

follow
~
1000
people
then

you
back.
The
five
steps
to
Twitter
success:
Tweet,
Follow,
Reply,
Retweet,
Repeat
Twitter
only
allows
you
to
follow
1000
in
a
day;
they
also
only
allow
you
to
unfollow
1000
in
a
day.
You
cannot
follow
more
then
2000
until
you
have
2000
followers.
Here is a great tool to unfollow those who are not following you back

This tool helps tremendously when trying to get over the 2000 follower mark.
Example: follow 1000 today, follow another 1000 tomorrow and in a few days
unfollow those who have not reciprocated, keep doing this until you get over the 2000
follower mark.
