Twitter Tip: How I got 100 followers in 10 days!

Twitter’s pretty amazing and it has the ability to bring you lots of traffic if you know how to get it. As for me, I’ve barely scratched the surface, yet I’m still seeing pretty consistent spikes in traffic coming in from my Twitter profile. But how do you build a strong following? After all, with Twitter, the more the better!

Not only do you want tons of people following you, but you also need to be following the right people. How do you follow the right people? Try using Mr. Tweet’s service! I found out about it after Alisa told me about the TwitTip blog.

Here’s how it worked for me:

I signed up for it on MrTweet.net and then I waited…and waited…and waited…you get the idea. I wasn’t really sure what was supposed to happen and it took a while but that’s okay because it was worth it. Finally, on Dec. 1st, Mr. Tweet sent my report through a DM (direct message). This is when the fun started!

I chose door #1 – find influencers beyond my network! It’s a pretty huge list and I didn’t even finish browsing it yet. Anyway, I chose to follow people in my target market (women) and people whose tweets could be potentially helpful (pr, marketing execs). I also tried to follow people who tend to follow back (Mr. Tweet is kind enough to tell you who these people are).

But here’s the kicker! The same day I started following people, my inbox became flooded with announcements of people following ME. And these were not the same people I was following…it was all NEW people. Every day’s been pretty much the same although the number of new followers have been dying down slowly.

The bottom line is that I gained 100 new followers in the last 10 days! How crazy is that?? So Mr. Tweet will not only give you a list of great people to follow, but you’ll also get a whole bunch of NEW followers out of the experience.

One more thing, if someone follows you, follow him/her back! There’s no reason not to unless that person is linked to some viagra site you want nothing to do with.

That said, FOLLOW ME @AlexEsculon and have fun with your Mr. Tweet report!
