I have been debating for a while whether twitter is actually worth anything or not. In the last week my twitter network jumped from 12 to over 100 people!
So now when I add an article to this site, iyazam.com – I update my twitter network and then I will usually get some nice immediate traffic. Imagine what could happen when you have a larger network then 40 people….
Here are some tips to improve your twitter network:
1] Add your twitter username as your signature when ever you send out an email. Especially when you are posting on a yahoo mailing list or Google groups.
2] Join groups on facebook where you can get followers to your account like this group:

3] Add your twitter username to your website or blog.
4] On twitter there is an option where you can copy and paste your twitter updates to your website. So when ever you update your twitter status – automatically it will show up on your website or blog.
5] Find forum threads on the web where you can post your twitter username and get followers, such as this thread:

6] Make it a habit that when someone follows you – follow them in return. Other ‘tweeple’ will see this and they will follow you as well.
7] Add your twitter username to every profile you have on social networks.
8] Join networks on ning.com that are focused on twitter followers.
9] Start your own thread on related internet forums.
10] Where ever you are marketing your website – add your twitter username with it.
Good luck tweepling!
and dont forget to follow me on twitter:
Enjoy!
