Holla Widemind,

I do exact promotion as you have started with. What I simply add to my promotion is putting a little crush & interest which helps to attract traffic to my desired online places.

Twitter simply helps you to say a very concise note of what you are really doing with your work & let others know about it in just very few words.

I got a number of reviews on my web portal related to my tweets that they are moving on track & that was the superb moment for my business growth.

Cool info so far! Thank you all. I keep checking back to see what others post. You guys are awesome! Keep it coming please!

Just updated my first post with a summary of the things I've been told over the last couple days, including the posts in this forum. Hope it's helpful. If anyone has any other items they'd like to add to the list, please do!

Thanks
Adam

Great tips, thanks for the advice. Mastering the Twitter thing has never been my strong side

Yes you have given excellent post on twitter following method than how we can find to many followers. There are many few articles we usually find on the net. You have done a great job. I am very happy with your post. Keep it coming please and give more such nice posts.

This really depends Adam. If you use the Twitter Search (Sorry I can't link to it) function and hone in on those twitterers who are already interested in your target topic it can be very beneficial.

Another way to go is to add your keywords to Google Alerts (just run a search on it) so that you are alerted to new and interesting content about your niche which you can then in turn tweet to your followers about.

This serves to build trust and as long as you are being judicious in your tweets by mixing more informative tweets then have tweets going back to your capture page you will be able to transition your followers from Twitter back onto your list.

A really good training program for this is Ryan Deiss' Twitter List Building.

Hope this helps partner,

John

Great tips , thanks for sharing ... i am gonna give it a try ...

I've been stuck with Twitter for a while - it's the carrot and stick piece... unless somebody meets you, works with you or has an interest in you / your company I find improving my Twitter followers impossible.

There are so many marketing companies on Twitter so which one should an unknown company follow? My own thoughts are to keep it to quality (20 people who want to buy is better than 1,000 who don't really want your product)

Post quality content and engage with people who are interested in your niche... ReTweet things you find interesting and @reply key influencers.

I'd say that it's difficult to start from nothing on Twitter; I see it more as a tool for people who already have an established following/fan base (not to say you won't succeed if you start from nothing, but it might be a lot more difficult).

That idea to follow a bunch of people and hope they follow you doesn't appeal to me. I've seen plenty of people do that to me, and I often wonder "How on earth did you find me?" and "Do we have anything in common?"

I like Josh's idea and use it myself. I see who else is following the big names in my niche and choose a few that are active and offer interesting tweets to follow.

One idea that always works well for me is to retweet an excellent tweet. Not only does it give your followers good information, it shows up as a retweet on the original tweeter's (is that a word?) feed for their followers to see.

I use Twitter socially - about the only thing I post that could even be remotely construed as "marketing" is that I let ppl know when I've created a new Squidoo lens or updated one. I retweet quite a bit, and I try to respond to somebody every time I go on. I am probably not using Twitter effectively from a marketing perspective, but I enjoy it, so that's also important to me.

This is sound advice for the most part, but when you're doing a keyword search in Twitter, you need to carefully examine the Tweets of the people that are showing up in your search results. If all they do is spam links all day long and do not seem like real people (i.e. it is obvious that they're using automation software to blast out promotional links all day long), you do NOT want to follow them.

Also, you do not randomly follow people as you've mentioned above, that would be an absolute waste of your time and effort. You want your Twitter account to be tightly niched, i.e. all the people you're following and those who are following you need to be passionate and have a strong interest in the niche you're targeting.

if you can establish yourself as an authority within a topic you will gain automatic followers..I think that is the best way to strive for....This is why twitter usually works very well for well known ppl...

not a requirement but it will be easier if you are somewhat well known...
