How to Become a Successful Twitter...er
1. Follow.
Search the topics you are interested in on twitter, and follow those with the same interests. Following several people interested in the same topics as your a day will help to increase the news on your news feed, and also increase the chance that they will follow you. Your name is more likely to become known when several different twitter accounts are getting e-mails notifying them that you follow them.
2. Tweet Daily. Hourly, Even.
People become less interested in you if they are not constantly reminded that you are on their news feed. It is much easier to remember a person's name that you may have never met before if they are constantly updating on a news feed that may consist of hundreds or thousands of different twitter updates.
3. Re-tweet, Respond, and Recognize.
Re-tweeting celebrities or people that you share interests with will attract others that share interests with the same person. Responding to others that tweet will bring people to your page to decide whether or not they will follow you. As long as you can get them to that point, you will make followers.
4. Go Mobile.
Remember when I said "Tweet Daily. Hourly, Even"? Yeah, that goes hand in hand with this. Tweet consistently. When a sudden inspiration hits, when your neighbor's hand gets eaten by a vicious guard dog, whenever.
5. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
It may take more than just a few days for your twitter to become the bee's knees or the belle of the ball, but it can definitely be worth the wait. Be consistent with tweeting and following, spread the news around Facebook, Tumblr, etc. How do people become popular? They get talked about.
