    Here's what I've done for my holidays related sites: I created a holiday-name Twitter account, followed a few people intersted in holiday season, added a Wp to Twitter script to my blog, and I slowly get new followers each and every day. Targeted visitors, of course and noticed an increase in my site visitors - not in the amount of sales unfortunately but it takes time to build trust and thus entice people to buy :)

    You can search social networks or twitter itself for people related to your niche and then invite them for your offers . If you able to make good followers list related to your niche then you can make good money from it .

    Hi,

    if you go to twollo and set up an account you can follow people with specific keywords, it does this automatically, have a look. If you business was gardening, you would put the keyword phrase in, best to hone it down. Once you are following them they tend to follow back and build relations fomr there. You can also use tweet later, this allows you to add tweets automatically, let me know if you need more info,

    cheers

    Dave

    I have had a lot of success with TwittGeek.com. It's a free program that allows you to autofollow 200 people per day. Now here's the kicker, you type in the word or catchphrase you want them to associate with.

    The best way to get followers on Twitter is to actually write tweets that people will be interested in
    That's why famous people get so many followers when they give an insight into what their private life is like
    If you tweet and people find it interesting then they will become a follower and probably view your website for your business and then some % will make a purchase

    Good Luck

    I scrolled down the posts and guessed that maybe none of you are a seasoned Twitter user? They hate business ads on Twitter, don't you get it?

    I saw people establish a good site and only after that starts to follow others and get visits in return. Following people on Twitter when you haven't a nice site is extremely stupid...And of course, these visits are worthless...

    My advise is that don't use any so called Web 2.0 promotion when you haven't tried anything more traditional.
