Divison one baseball player, how do I get more twitter followers?

Me and my teammates are having a competition to see who can get the most new followers in a month.

If you wanna help my cause, I tweet about life as a division one athlete in Florida (and also how awesome Washington State (homegrown!) is) it's @JimmyReed34! Thanks!

Try asking some big-league players to re-tweet you. A bunch of fans and writers follow guys like Logan Morrison and CJ Wilson, and if you can think of a clever way to ask, they may be able to send some followers your way.

Play like a superhuman superstar and get on all the sports news shows. That seems like the way to do it.

Well getting more twitter followers isn't easy. It's actually harder than getting youtube views in some ways. You have to post interesting content that fits your demographic and niche as well as not overpost useless info.

What I recommend you do is take a look at what your niche is. If most of your posts are about video games, then you're a tweet gamer, if your posts are about politics then you're an opinion tweeter, if it's personal then get ready to have a few stalkers.

You should include your twitter links everywhere with a message like "follow me on twitter @your account" and use networks and databases.

Twiends (http://twiends.com/me/CrescentSkies) is a decent database/networking system to get your twitter name out there, but it won't accept you until you've tweeted a few times after authorizing it.

Overall these won't get you followers in a day, but if you have a good page you might see some followers in the months to come.
