I just know that Ashton is awesome. He is able to have million of followers in his twitter account. How does he do it?
He has many years experience in acting and alot of people know him worldwide as being "one of the best." I actually thought he would have had even more than 1 000 000 followers by now! lol
I think that Ellen has almost 700,000 and she hasn't been on there for nearly as long as Ashton. BUT she did feature it on her show live. Basically they are experts/celebrities in their worlds and so people want to be associated with them. If you can become a celebrity in your niche you can achieve similar results (somewhat scaled down results, but results none-the-less)
Besides being famous, does being rich help? Running radio ads, mentioning twitter name on t.v. will get thousands of followers. lol Everyone wants to get inside actor's minds and know more about em or here rumor's. I might follow ashton now. Make that 1,000,001 followers. Thanks!
He launched a challenge with CNN to be the first Twitter profile with a million follwers, so on top of the TV and movie star bit (and there are more famous TV and movie stars on Twitter who don't have a million followers), the challenge went viral - it gots loads of mentions on forums and blogs, and on CNN as well as bring retweeted over twitter loads.
I still can't believe Larry King joined twitter. He is old and i thought would leave the twitter thing to the CNN staff. When he interviewed Ashton on CNN that was a great conversation. 1,000,000 is a lot of followers to get. Getting 10,000 is a huge number to get i think. But if you are well known on t.v. and famous around the world, the followers will come. Ashton did a youtube video while driving his car i think. (or was it not in a car?)
Perhaps it is possible also.. He is an awesome guy, 3 million followers is not a big deal from him...
