Here's a secret to getting followers on Twitter. Find another user with your interests, and follow all of their followers. Usually about 50% of those people will follow you back.

I'll follow you Doug if you follow me. I still don't understand Twitter very well.

@RoNicolaides though I'm on a 2k freeze atm (I'm trying to clear out inactives as much as I can)
On a side note, twitter is good for schmoozing and interacting but it doesn't have much reflection on sales from my experience and research.

Thanks John, i'll check that out

I know, I'm just wondering if anyone has had any Marketing luck with them, cos I read or heard somewhere that they can be useful for enlarging your platform.

So I've heard, I'll be looking into them at some point when I've depleted some of my marketing to dos!

I'm discovering that and have connected with some very interesting people.

Good morning! I love tweeting; my Twitter handle is @alison_morton

I tweet about books, Roman things, posts about writing, self-publishing, amusing/quirky things, sometimes my reviews.

Not being anti-social but I don't automatically follow back - I like to talk to my Twitter friends in a meaningful way and I'm already finding 350 difficult to keep up with! But if you chat and are interesting, I will!

Hello, everyone. I am @vanessainfrance on Twitter.

I tweet about history (especially French and Corsican), books and writing, posts on my writing blog and my blog about life in Southwest France, other people's books, interesting articles about any of the foregoing, the odd amusing thing.

I'd love to chat if your interests coincide with mine.

I would love for you to read my book Mel RJ Smith my Twitter name is melrjsmith, I have 600+ followers and always welcome more.
Good luck .
