How to Quickly Build a Targeted Twitter Following

If you haven't heard of twitter yet, then you have obviously been living under a rock for the last few years.
It is one of the fastest growing social media sites in the world and ranks in the top ten most trafficked websites as well.
What does this mean for you? Opportunity to get in front of tons of people.
In order to utilize twitter correctly, you need to build up a targeted following.
When you do this, you can send out "tweets" to your audience.
This is also one of the easiest ways to get your content to go viral.
Viral content leads to more eyeballs on your offer and ultimately more money in your bank account.
So how do you build up this targeted following? The first thing you need to do is sign up for a free account if you haven't done so already.
Once you log in, you will need to upload a profile picture so people know who they are following.
Some people will not take you seriously if you do not have a photo.
Then you want to plug in your website and create a unique "bio" box so that your potential followers can learn a little bit more about you.
This will sway some people to follow you when they otherwise wouldn't have done so.
Once you have this done, you are ready to go.
The next step is to pick out 5-10 leaders in your niche market that already have a decent twitter following and are actively using it.
When you decide on these leaders, you can view the people that are following them already.
These will be the most targeted people you can find.
Obviously if they are interested in learning dog training, they will be interested in learning it from person A or person B.
In this case, the "guru" or industry leader is person A and you will be person B.
Then you simply start following the people that are following them already.
The reason you do this is to initiate the connection.
When they see that they have a new follower, they will check out your profile and assuming you are talking about stuff they are interested in, will follow you back.
The more people you follow, the more will follow you back.
So that's all you have to do.
Just go start following people and talk about what they are interested in.
If you are just starting out, you will need to limit your daily following number until you have an established account.
Once you have a few hundred people following you back, you can scale up the process to get even more followers, more exposure and more money in your bank account.
