Step#1 The first step to accumulating a massive following is to set up a Free Twitter account at twitter.com. After setting up your new twitter account you may want to upload a nice photo but more importantly you definitely want to create a really good bio and create a nice background for your site. Step#2 Find and follow fellow twitterers with similar interests. If you are a musician naturally you'll want to connect with other musicians. A great free tool to find targeted twitterers is Twitter Search. This site enables you to locate people with similar interests using targeted keywords to find your audience. If you're a musician you can easily find other musicians to follow who'll in turn will follow you. Step#3 Feed your twitter account with relevant timely articles. Again if you're a musician with a following interested in music then you'll want to feed your twitter account with music related content. Step#4 Unfollow people who are not following you. Twitter rules allow you to follow up to 2000 people and you can't follow anymore people until you get 1850 followers. At that point you can go over the 2000 mark. The next limit twitter has is you can't follow more than 10% above the amount of people that follow you. This means that if you have 2000 followers the maximum amount of people you can follow is 2200. Unfollowing people that are not following you will enable you to free up space and enable you to follow others who in return may follow you. Wait at least 2 days to give people a chance to follow you. After 2 or 3 days begin unfollowing people. Step#5 Twitter allows you to post tweets with links inviting your following to visit your website. The more followers you have the more potential web traffic you'll receive. Also you can send up to 1000 direct messages a day. Depending on how large your following is, you can send a message to up to 1000 followers. If you have 5000 followers you can only send a direct message to 1000 of your followers in a given day but still that's a 1000 potential hits to your website. Keep in mind not to Post too many links promoting your site on your twitter account. Posting a link once or twice a week will suffice. Remember to shorten your urls before posting your tweets. A great tool to shorten your urls is at bit.ly, a simple url shortener ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last edited by Jamison; 05-08-2009 at 01:47 AM.

| This would make for interesting discussion. Up until now, I've been kind of ignoring Twitter as I can't see myself twittering away time all day following people and their often time wasting habits. However, I've also known that it is being used successfully by online entrepreneurs. I just don't know how yet. Last edited by Tulasu; 05-10-2009 at 06:41 PM. |

| That is a great question! I know there are plenty of ways to create a large Twitter following, but is it worth the time investment? I am still trying to figure this out. Anyone?
