How to Pick Up Followers on Twitter

Guy Kawasaki recently plosted an article on his blog on how to get lots of followers on Twitter. I like Guy’s books and I have 4 of them – Selling the Dream, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy, Rules for Revolutionaries and another book on creating customer evangelists he co-authored with someone else. I highly recommend his books.

Automatic Twitter Follow Tools

At the moment, I am very keen on testing Twitter tools that can automate the following of people have chosen to follow me on Twitter. I know of 2 services that do this:

• TweetLater
• SocialToo

Advanced Twitter Search Tools

• Twellow
• Twittelator
• TweetDeck

Automatic Blog Post Posters to Twitter

• twitterfeed

Before You Proceed….

Please read Twitter’s rules on what they consider to be spam! I have seen a few banned Twitter when I tried to follow them back after they had followed me.

In a nutshell, spam on Twitter means:

• Commercial or promotional use of Twitter
• Following other accounts in order to gain attention to your account or links therein
• Creating a series of accounts in order to promote the same thing
• Sending large numbers of @reply messages that are not genuine replies
• Writing about one thing but linking to another
• A large number of users have blocked you
• Impersonation, illegal content, or any violation of the Twitter Terms of Service
