As you probably know by now, Twitter is one of the biggest Social Media sites on the Internet and is only going to get bigger.
Many people who have started their accounts early already have thousands and hundreds of thousands followers and you don't have to be a celebrity to get thousands of followers of your own.
For whatever reason you
are online, business, finding friends, joining hobby groups, or
starting a new non-profit organization, Twitter is one of the fastest
ways to find others that share your same interests.
You might think that only big name celebrities can get thousands of followers, but the truth is that just about anyone that knows some of the inside tricks to getting people to respond to Tweets, can have a huge group of followers in a very short period of time.
One of the quickest ways to get followers is to look for people that state in their profiles that they "follow back".
Following people that will follow back means that you will be growing your list as fast as you can follow people. Of course, you need to give them time to see that you are following them and they can get back to you.
Another fast way to get lots of followers is to participate in a Twitter tradition on Fridays which is called "Followback Friday". On Fridays, many people join in helping to spread the word about new followers by mentioning them in a Tweet containing the tags #Follow and #FF.
Next Friday, look for people that are Tweeting names of people using those tags #Follow and #FF, and start following the people that participate. Once you have some followers of your own, you can mention them in your own FollowFriday Tweets. This is a fast way to get involved with people that mention you to their lists of followers.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)The thing that I don't yet understand about people who use Twitter and have thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers is, where do they find the time to do all the tweeting?Hi Jennifer, I have over 8000 followers that I got pretty quickly without spending a lot of time on Twitter. By using the Follow Friday tips as well as using followback lists, I only spend an hour or so a week.
A small group of people that participate in the Follow Friday activity, can send hundreds of new followers a week.Good heavens, that's amazing! Clearly I have a lot to learn from you. I'm so pleased to meet you!
I had no idea there was such a thing on Twitter. I canceled my account a long time ago since I didn't have the time nor the inclination to follow what hundreds of strangers had to say. Interesting article I'm going to forward on to some friends.
