This is the second article of a series in How To Increase not only your Sales, but Increasing your Network as well. The social media blitz has completely revolutionized many how many go about marketing their business, or their opportunity. Everyone from my sixty year old uncle all the way down to my nine year old nephew are using social networking sites. One would not be using wisdom, if they did not take advantage of such large networks to contact potential customers.

The first article contains some very basic principles on how to effectively and purposely use your profile picture, your Twitter name, and your Bio to reach people. If you have not had the chance to read this article, please go read my article How To Use Twitter to Increase Sales and Your Network.

In this article, I would like to go over the basics on How To Increase Your Followers anywhere from 500-1000 people per week. This process will only take you approximately twenty minutes per day, if followed correctly. With that said, you can visit some people’s sites and notice they have a large number of followers and to be honest it looks impressive. Friend, half of the people that are following them, are JUNK!!! Examples being: SexyGirl4U just took some new photos, must login to see. What I am trying to get at is that the majority of these people are using companies to auto add people on a daily basis, but a majority of the adds will not benefit you in anyway.

If you want to get the type of followers you desire than take the time to add them yourself. Not only do you avoid, people trying to push their porn on your Twitter Home Page, but you are also going after the people in your niche. (Marketing 101-Target the people who are looking for what you offer) You can search for people by keywords in FIND PEOPLE option on the menu bar of your Home Page.

Here are some specific steps that I take on a daily basis to add anywhere from 100-200 people daily:

• First, I will click on my Direct Messages (D.M.) There I will look for someone who has sent me an auto-response, preferably someone in my niche. You want to go after people who are looking for whatever you are offering (Marketing 101).
• I’ll click on their page and start “following” person by person. I will usually skim what they write and follow. I prefer to add people with pictures of themselves instead of the $$$ guy. I’m not saying I wont add them, but prefer pictures.
• I will go through about 5-10 pages on this person’s FOLLOWERS list and add them. You want people who will follow you back, this will increase your chance, so stick with the FOLLOWERS. After about 5-10 pages depending on the quality of the followers, I go back to my D.M. and chose someone else, and repeat the process.
• If you are starting out, you do not want to add more than 200 people per day. This will avoid Twitter freezing your account. So keep in mind the number of the people you are following before you start the process.
