How can I get a lot of Twitter followers?

[CuriousME]

So, I am amazed at how people on Twitter who aren't famous Hollywood stars have over 100,000+ followers! This one person, http://www.Twitter.com/illposts, followed me earlier in December and had a mere 10,000 followers, and today he has 387,654 Followers!? How is this possible??? .....he unfollowed me and some 8,000+ people....but anyways something is not right. Did he buy all of those followers? He claims to use trending topics to get his followers but I don't believe it. Please reply.

If you reply with something negative/sarcastic then you obviously have nothing better to do with your life and you can go drink bleach for all I care. PLEASE REPLY and be serious!!! Thanks
He didn't mention me and ask me to follow him nor did he ask other people to follow him.

Make fake accounts and follow yourself. Waste of time though.

go follow a bunch of people, and ask for a follow back.

There are many ways of getting followers, some better then others. You can follow people random people and eventually some of them will follow back, but this kind of methods are infective. You can use a social exchange website to increase your followers, but this methods is also limited, although you can get a lot of followers, like a couple hundreds but still not enough to pass people that have 100,000+
The only way to get that many followers is to buy them from people that can offer such services. And believe me, for a couple of bucks you can get TONS of followers.
