I joined Twitter recently for promotion of my blog....It was preetty boring at first only when 2 people were following me.. However in the past 3 days my twitter count has increased to over 108 with yesterday bringing me 66 followers. I did not spam anybody....nor did I blindly follow them with hope they would do the same...Its all a result of writing some useful content on my site, using the same profile name across my social media sites and tweeting actively about other members... How many twitter followers do you have ?? I think i will post back to this thread once I reach 500 followers...cheers !!
I haven't started twittering yet but I can imagine that if you are active across the web, it will pay off . 66 followers in one day sounds quite amazing considering that you just created an account. I guess if you continue doing what you do ( posting on forums, blogging, vlogging or whatever ), you may expect even better results .
Thats the right way to do it. when you respond to others, and they respond or answer back, your Twitter profile name shows up on their twitter timeline, which begins a viral effect with their followers checking you out and following you, in kind Good job!
I have 500 on my personal account, 1300 and growing on my promotional account. Twitter is a great resource!
