Hello, My name is Shannon and I have been making money online for the last several years. I am dedicated to showing everyone I can how to replicate my blogging success. I work very hard and I have been featured on some of the biggest blogs on the net, you can 
Hey Guys,
As promised I am making 2 posts about how I am building my new twitter account @shblogger so fast.
I am doing several different things so I will go over them briefly here and then you can do the same for your own twitter account, no matter how many followers you already have these techniques will work! I started out with zero and I know others who started out with hundreds and quickly reached multi-thousands after doing these techniques!
Step 1 – Power in a name.
Believe it or not the techniques I am going to show later on in these posts may not work without a good twitter account name. When it comes to choosing a name for your twitter account, remember “smaller is better”.
The twitter account name is like your calling card and should be simple, short and to the point with your company or blogs brand. The shorter names are easier to remember and to re-tweet.
You dont like your time wasted so why waste someone elses?
Step 2 – Twitter profile.
One of the mistakes I see a lot of young twitter users making is with there twitter profiles in general. The profile should not only compliment yourself but it should also make a statement of some kind. If you teach people to do something then put that in your bio line.
Aside from the right sidebar stuff which you can edit to your own descretion I encurage you to get a great Twitter Background image setup. If you visit Twitter.com/Shblogger you will see my mascot and a cool background all at once! This is how it should be done, it shows potential followers that you care enough to have a customer twitter page instead of the default boring ones!
There are lots of people who create these backgrounds (including me for $15) so feel free to contact someone to get it done for you if your not a decent designer! Feel free to ask me any questions in a comment below about your twitter profile and I will be happy to answer them.
Step 3 – Follow Trade.
Now that you have picked the perfect short easy to remember catchy twitter account name its time to start getting followers. We will be discussing several techniques for this so lets get right into it!
The first technique is the follow trade, basically the way twitter has worked since it started was simple, you follow the people you knew and in return they followed you back so you could all connected and be connected with your daily lives.
Not much has changed in this regard and the techniques still work great!
All you have to do is follow people and they will return the favor, however as a person you can’t possibly know Hundreds Of Thousands of people yourself unless your a celebrity with fans correct?
There is a site that @JohnChow started called TwitterFollower.com, twitter follower allows you to do follow trades very easily. The system is pretty self explanatory so I won’t go into detail here on how to use it, just watch John Chows video explaining how it works here.
Step 4 – Link to it, promote it, get it seen.
This step is a little less effective right off the bat but over time you will see results by doing it. I encourgage you to if you havent already go ahead and link to your twitter name on your blog, websites and even your email signature can be some great places to start!
When it comes to promoting your twitter account you should try anything and everything (be sure to comment below if you have any ideas for me to try). I promote my twitter name here on my blog, through videos and even to my friends and family on Facebook that already know and trust me.
Why not try linking to your twitter account through other social media sites? You may be suprised at the results it delivers!
Step 5 – Run a contest.
The final and last step to replicate my success with your own twitter profile is to run a contest through twitter. By running a twitter contest you will not only let your current followers know about the contest but everyone who enters finds out about it as well!
A twitter contest should work like this, make a post on your blog about the contest, tell them to enter they simply need to re-tweet the contest message (actually give them the contest message to copy and paste, be sure to include your twitter account name in the contest message as well as a link back to your blog) then sit back and watch twitter do all the work for you.
As long as you give away a decent prize (no ebooks here guys, give away cold hard cash or an electronic device) then you will see your twitter follower count rise over night without even lifting a finger! Its kinda like cheating the sytesm but in a good way!
Lets wrap it up.
I believe if you follow all these steps I have outlined above you will get over 100 followers in your first day. I did not even run the contest nor get my twitter background fixed up the first day and I already gained over 100 in my very first day which is amazing!
God bless and send me any success stories you may have!

have been using twitter for some time and I follow many people. Can I find whom did I first follow on twitter.
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:21 am
I would agree with you, though I am still in the early stages with Twitter and trying hard to figure out the pros and cons.
I am not so sure I care about the day-to-day routines of those I follow, but I do appreciate it when they offer useful insights that increase my learning. So, content does matter to an extent because meaninglessness is a waste of my time. Engaging in conversation is part of the charm.
You are right, unless you are famous, the best way to increase you following is shameless self promotion.

You all points are seeming very useful to start a account with twitter. Which is the best platform to get the followers. I will suggest my friend to read your post.

Twitter Follower is a free service designed to help you quickly build a Twitter list so you can avoid negative social proof. Unlike RSS, you can not hide your follow count and because of human nature, many people will not follow someone with no followers

Nice tips for those who have just started their account with twitter!

Twitter is a social networking site which allows users to post micro blogs about what they are doing at the moment. Within a short time, the site has become hugely popular.thanks.
August 24th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Yes, indeed twitter is really great social networking site and micro-blogging service too.
August 24th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I Love it great tips.

Fibreglass pools @ : I fully agree with the point of gradually increasing the amount of ppl you follow, which ultimately reflects a positive and educational flow within your twitter stream. I’ve realized this as I’ve recently grown past 300 followers (not an astronomical amount, but great ppl within). Focusing on interaction with people that are relevant to me and vice versa has made my Twitter experience great thus far.
August 25th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Great post. Your advice on taking a gradual increase on a platform like twitter is something people should pay attention to. Twitter could easily get overwhelming when ‘friending’ so many people. I prefer to see twitter as a compliment to social world. It is a wonderful tool when managing lots of social network accounts.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
all very valid tips
August 25th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Try to tweet often about popular subjects and follow anyone who follows you.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I use tweetlater to auto follow people.

i just got a twitter and i was wondering if the alert messages from the people who i am following count as in service (Verizon) messages or if they count as other. My plan is unlimited for Verizon and 1500 for outside Verizon.

Seems to be lots of ways to build up a twitter following, helping others and making interesting tweets helps, rather than just one affiliate link after another.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I was trying to figure that out too. I don’t think you can send a direct message but I think you can send a @ thing where it say what are you doing.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I just signed up for a Twitter account recently and was looking to follow some interesting people – famous or not.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I want something that will allow me to eliminate or reduce the number of tweets from some people I follow on Twitter. Why? People are more likely to follow you if you follow them right!?
September 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
So because honestly I am only following some people because I want to increase my followers and not necessarily since I care to hear what they have to say.
September 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I am afraid you can only favorite tweeets but that is not what you are looking for , if you are following you are following there is no way unless you dont , i use tweetie on my ipod sorry
September 1st, 2009 at 3:49 pm
depends in what you are interested on….if you love watching makeup vids on youtube like me…then there is a lot….!!!!
September 1st, 2009 at 3:49 pm
I found a website yesterday which allows people to insert text adverts once every 5 or so tweets for a fee (which depends on your followers and update frequency).
September 1st, 2009 at 3:50 pm
So, what I would like to know is, if you followed a Twitter user for their blog but they started inserting adverts after every 5 tweets, would you un-follow them? Or, if you weren’t following this user but intended to, would you have second thoughts when you saw the ads?
September 1st, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I want to send a direct message to someone who is not yet following me. but twitter popped up with this message saying that I can’t, i have to send in invitation to have them follow me first.
September 2nd, 2009 at 5:22 am
I don’t think you can send a direct message but I think you can send a @ thing where it say what are you doing.thanks for sharing such a nice post.

Please be aware my recommendations will be my personal favorites Classic Cardy and not necessarily your only options.
My first recommendation and one I’ve mentioned in several classic ugg tall is a freeware utility forugg tall boots. The reason it’s my first recommendation is if you’re going to download and install an application I mention, or for that matter Ugg Amelie Suede, should you decide it’s not for you I want you to be able to do a complete, in-depth uninstall.
Revo will access your Windows uninstallUGG bailey button boots utility to perform a normal Windows uninstall. But once Womens ugg Sundance II has completed the uninstall, Revo will assume command and with your Ultra Short, folders and registry keys that often remain on your ugg mini boots.

It is not Air jordanseasy to pin-point the origins of the Christmas feast, today the more important feast of the Jordan ShoesChristmas season in most western Christian churches. One can only say for certain that the birth of Jesus Christ was being celebrated in Rome by the year 336 A.D.; Fashion Handbagsafterwards the feast was celebrated in other Christian churches throughout the world.
Why it was Fashion Shoes celebrated on December 25th is another question. No date for the birth of Jesus can be found in the New Testament, which is concerned more with the question “Who is Jesus?” than the Tiffany Jewelrydate of his birth. Early Christian speculation about his birth date was influenced by the symbolism of the changing seasons, then popular in religious thought, which paid careful attention Electronics Sale to the equinoxes and solstices of the sun. Christian scholars speculated that Jesus was conceived at the spring equinox (March 25th) and therefore was born on December 25th, the date of the winter solstice. buy handbags
