Quality Follows

Twitter is growing far to large and used by more people everyday making it hard to ignore it any longer. As you decide to jump on the Twitter bandwagon for business purposes keep in mind quality over quantity.

Celebrities and Spammers can pull in some outrages numbers when it comes to followers. Others have built a huge following before Twitter and migrated them over. When starting out its hard not to get caught up in the huge numbers, I know, I fall for it now and again myself.

Start with Friends

Early on when first starting out with Twitter stick with friends and those who are local to your business. Getting started with Twitter is a lot easier when you have actual conversations. Conversing with friends is natural and will help to blow through your first 100 tweets in no time.

By generating conversation followers who are interested in you or your business will naturally follow. Your friends follower base will be the first to take a look at who you are. If you have setup an awesome Twitter profile, your friends followers if interested in you or your business will follow you as well.

Quality is Key

Focusing early on quality followers helps establish a solid foundation for doing business via Twitter. Quality followers will ask questions about products or services. Quality followers will keep you updated about feature requests and competitive services. Focusing on quality versus quantity sets into motion a “quality follows quality cycle”.

It’s best to have 100 solid followers who believe in your products and service rather than, 100,000 followers who never read a word you write. The solid 100 will be your product or service cheerleaders. They will retweet and put your messages and links in front of new people.

Keep your 100 solid followers in mind always and use Twitter for them instead of the 100,000 followers who could care less about your business!
