A quick tip for getting followers:
find another tweeter with the same target audience as you, and subscribe/follow to all of their followers. Often they will follow you back and get to know you and your company. Hope things work out

Great Information! I have recently started pursuing the use of Social Networking a little more than I have in the past. It has already proven itself to be an important tool for my business. It is a great avenue for B2B networking, and to chat with others in our industry. You can trend the conversations people are having about the decorative apparel industry as well using the twitter search tools that are available. I will continue to keep twitter on the top of my priority list so I don't get left in the dust.

Happy trails,

Brian

It can be if you do it correctly. I would say that 95% of people do it incorrectly though. Maybe even us!

Rodney, I don't like it when you use these examples because as you stated this is "an extreme case" and their reach as a Fortune 500 company with 600,000+ followers is unrealistic for most of us who are small businesses. I just don't think this article applies to "real" folks.

approx 1/6 tweeters follow you back (actual results 120/659). I have gotten about 50% of them to go to my website just through tweets with my link. These tweets have lost me followers, so be careful how you tweet

You need to use twitter immediately if you're serious about promoting your product online! It's a great way to get many serious people online. But at the same time with increasing popularity of twitter many people often use it for spamming. So try to follow such people who are serious and having similar interest like you! Post unique and informative post with link that can help your site/business to get target traffic!

Maybe this is not a related question directly to using Tweeter...but do you all think that Tweeter will make money off all of this popularity?

I'm sure they are going to start placing ads in there sometime soon... it's a big website now and they could make a lot of money from it. It's also great for people wanting to make money, so it's a win-win situation. They could make millions.
