    1) To promote your services?
    2) Generally speaking how do you get people to follow you on Twitter?

    Thanks :D

    Twittering for people...I've actually seen it alot plus its such a simple way to get the word of mouth out. Some people get annoyed with it but in all honesty it works. I have gotten 2 sign ups in the best 3 days from twittering

    Yes, I do use twitter for more information about internet marketing. and basically you don't worry for followers because there are people will only search for your profile if they knew that you have a great use for them. Just by your updates. They can know if you are good to be followed. Many people use twitter in order to generate traffics.

    Interact with the people you're following - reply to them, retweet them. Anything you do to increase your presence on twitter helps get more followers.

    Twitter is great if you've got a bunch of people who want to listen to you - otherwise it's kind of worthless.

    I generally hate social networking sites and the like, but I must admit Twitter is useful for me. Instead of going to the trouble of blogging over a minor bit of news, I can tweet (is that what they call it?!) instead. Very useful for my site e.g. I'm currently usng Twitter to provide somewhat humorous real time commentary on the US Masters.

    I'm only on Twitter a couple of weeks. Initially, I was talking to myself, but as soon as I started following other Twitter golf feeds, my followers started rolling in! The moral of the story? Search for people to follow - this increases your exposure and brings in followers.

    Warning: Tweeting can get addictive!

    Twitter is great source of traffic. Generally to get people to follow you you just follow them. The more people you follow the more that will follow you back.

    I make money from Twitter as well. What you want to do is start to follow people in your niche or with the same interest as you. Once you build up a pretty solid Twitter community you can start sharing your thoughts about a product which you can make money on.

    Very good way to generate free traffic.

    I believe Twitter can be very useful if used properly..Also guys, I am a coder and I have some Twitter bots I have made. A twitter account creator, a follower, and an "updater" aka tweeter. If you're interested in any of the bots please PM me.

    I've started using Twitter and find it really useful. TweetDeck is a great way to get interesting feeds on your favourite keywords/searches.

    Yeh, I always use Twitter to promote my content. I have a plugin for Wordpress which automatically posts notifications of new posts on my Twitter. I get loads of traffic using it :D

    just ask people to follow you. there is no other way to get people to follow you on twitter. you can also rent an email list and send your ads with your twitter info
