Who's following you?

Twitter is one of the easiest social networking services to use. Anyone can type a short message and click the send button. But if you don't have any followers, who's going to see it? Sure, it will show up on the public timeline, but so do the tweets of the millions of other twitter users.

In order to get the most out of Twitter, you've got to have followers. And not just any followers. Followers who are interested in what you have to say and what you have to offer. As with any other marketing avenue, your best efforts don't mean much if you're not reaching your target market.

One of the ways that Twitter marketers get followers is finding users who fit into their their target market and following them. Users receive notification every time someone new follows them, and they often check out the follower's tweets and follow them back if they like what they see. So if you're providing something of value to your target market, this method works well.

But how do you find people to follow? One of the easiest ways to do so is to use one of the many Twitter directories. There are directories that sort users by occupation, interest, geographical area and more. You can simply search for keywords that your desired followers would use and be presented with a list of those who fit your criteria.

Twitter is great for finding new customers, but it also provides an innovative way to keep current customers coming back for more. You can get them to follow you by including a link to your profile on your website or in your emails. Reward them with exclusive coupon codes and other incentives. Not only will they remain loyal, they'll also spread the word to other potential customers.
