How do I get more followers on Twitter?

[britt=P<3]

I have had a twitter account for awhile, and just recently started using it again. I would like to get a TON of followers, but don't really want to follow so many people. How would I manage to get a lot of followers, without being famous?

I deliberately searched for people I knew on Twitter first. I followed them and they followed me.


I then started searching for people I wanted to follow or even companies. This includes authors, celebrities, fashion blogs, etc. Sometimes other followers will then follow you if you have the same interest.

Lastly, people will eventually flock to you and follow if they like what they're reading.


I tweet for my own use, plus I make money on the side. I also promote my work (I'm a freelance writer). The thing is you have readers even if they don't follow. I only have 270-something followers, but other people also see me.
