| If you are new at Twitter, visit here first. First is you need some software to grow you account for you. I recommend Tweet Adder. Tweet Adder is sold for a single user, 5, 10 and an unlimited number of accounts! I use this and it works very well & cuts the work down that is required to obtain followers. A word of warning: Watch that you aren't posting duplicate tweets on multiple accounts! Twitter rules on multiple accounts seem to be contradict themselves so watch ANY duplicate Postings! Please refer to Twitters rules here: http://help.twitter.com/forums/26257/entries/18311. Tweet Adder will aid you while you sleep. Tweet Adder allows you to search for key words and you can set it up to automatically follow that group of people. So this qualifies who you follow to a small degree and thus qualifies who will possibly follow you back. As you grow your account, Tweet Adder will follow and unfollow but only unfollows people that it added and didn't follow you back. This will eventually become a situation as you will surely follow people manually or with other software that don't follow you back. When you're small, you can review them and unfollow. Once you get several thousand, it becomes more difficult. For a long time, I could follow and unfollow with "Catfood Follower" but at some point, I'm guessing about 8000 followers, Catfood cease to work. But it is very easy to use to automatically follow back and automatically unfollow so I recommend it. I'm assuming you have ran into the fact that if you're following too many in ration to those following you, Twitter freezes you. Hence the need to unfollow dead wood, those that don't follow back. Tweepi.com. I recently found thanks to one of my great followers, Bevan Bird @birdify whom I recommend you follow, located for me a program that allows you to pull up all that you are following, review them and unfollow if you like! That is Tweepi.com. With this software program, free by the way, I was able to unfollow about 1200 that I have followed in the past that didn't reciprocate, didn't follow me back. Some were there for 7 months and were totally inactive! Next is the action of RT'ing (retweeting=the resending of someone else's message out to your followers). Twitter is a community and there are great friend there to be made. If you want to grow, help them. Follow those they recommend. Retweet their recommendation. People will follow you back. In viewing my time stream, I pick out tweets I like and RT them. I do this at random if the tweet is acceptable. I never retweet ugly tweets or offensive tweets as I want the world to get brighter not darker. You might find this short blurp interesting "Two Wolves." If you get someone offensive, block them. Don't let them make your world less bright. If they are spamming report them too. You are probably one of many they are offending! Back to those that don't follow. I found there were a number of Tweeters that I was following that had failed to follow me back even though I was RT'ing their tweets and basically recommending them. Using Tweepi.com. I was able to locate this handful. Once I knew who they were, I sent them a message by @ing them. (@Poet_Carl_Watts come to me and is viewable by all your followers. I pay attention to these messages.) Almost all immediately followed me back. A few times, I've had some snide comments made to me via Twitter. I handle these by finding something good about the person, or a positive way I can respond. Rather than taking offense and creating an upset by lashing back, I usually create a friend. You should try this. Only once did I have to block the person as he wouldn't drop the covert attacks. I block all porn and promotions of drugs as these Tweeters are connected on some level to criminals and I don't want that on my comm lines. You probably already know this but, you can have your Twitter postings show up on Plaxo, MySpace, Linkedin, Facebook and many more. I have many contacts on several of the above. Plaxo limits you to 1000 connections so I opened a second account and have started to grow that! Click here to join me on Plaxo!
do. I don't post on Facebook often. The number of posting I do is simply too much for my Facebook friends. I post a few links to my site where they can look if they like.
should I'm promoting them: SocialOomph, where I can set up a series of posts and schedule them for the future and much much more.
sent to each new person that follows you. This is good. Be sure your message ask about them, benefits them, not all about you. If you sign up with them, I suggest you also sign up with them as an affiliate, still no cost. This way if someone you refer does become a paying professional, you make money monthly. I believe you can do this with Tweet Adder also, I've just never set it up since I have SocialOomph running nicely.
