Need more twitter followers

[BGJ33]

Does anyone know how to get more twitter followers? I know its a great tool to pump your blog but I dont have that many followers so it doesn't help too much. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Twitter name- @jaymesrogers

Just have a link that lets anyone reading your post tweet it to a friend

I would also like some advice on this as one of my blogs has just 18 following and the other has just 4.

I only joined twitter last week so am not sure how to use it really as an advertising device.

Thanks

It depends what's your main purpose, if it's a numbers game meaning the more followers the better, there are quite a few 'you follow/I follow back' type of get-followers quick scheme.

Otherwise, if you're aiming to build a network of info-sharing and well connected community, it's always better to start slow. Find the tweeple who are within your niche, or similar interests, therefore if you intend to share a tweet/post, it's more likely for them to spread the words for you. All in all, relationship has to be built by responding and retweet for others. So, here are the basic steps:

1. Start by finding like-minded people to follow, same interests or power users
(an easy twitter-map was made for this purpose, in case you need it: Killer apps for successful Twitter network) Or you could try Mr Tweet by providing you relevant people to follow.

2. Send them a '@' whether in RT or engage in a conversation. Most people are likely to follow back if you connect with them.

3. Or, how about start with Bloggeries members ? =)

Just my .01 cent.

Follow existing Tweeters with similar interests in many cases they will follow you back.

Whats the benfit of multiple friends in twitter

[Bloggeries]

All about making friends / acquaintances. Get in with the social group. Some people don't follow others, some follow everyone. I"m the latter.

I find that when you add people, they ususally add you back or at the very least, a 2-1 ratio. Find a group, or just start adding random people; some will give you a break and maybe even click on your tweets.

...if you just want to get more followers, just follow other people there and some of them will follow you back

I just get followers automatically as time goes by. Have no idea why.
