Welcome to the third part of my short series on how to use Twitter for marketing. You can read the two other posts (twitter-for-seo and are-you-using-twitter-the-wrong-way)

To reach out with your message through Twitter you need followers, many followers.

You can add followers and hope the person you follow are going to follow you. This is recommended in a bunch or e-books and by countless gurus. Three are even software that does this for you, each day following a few new users to hope they will follow you.

There are even black-hat internet marketing tools that autocreate twitter accounts and does updates and follows users all automated, but I will not touch on that here. If you are interested in building a long term relations with your customers this is probably a bad idea and I don’t use these techniques.

Another way is to hope people find you and select to follow you by themselves. If you have a blog or web site, add a follow us on Twitter link. People who visit your web site are more likely to be interested in what you do. I have a link in out link list in Wordpress for people to follow me, and I add a link in posts from time to time like here

Yet another service you should be using is wefollow . Wefollow is a user created directory of Twitter users. When you register your Twitter account you get to add three keywords for people to help people find your profile.

Another twitter directory you might want to check out is twitprofiles

And last but not least, don’t forget to add twitter to your site-hype account.
