How to Get Big-Shots to Follow You On Twitter

So why would you want a big-shot to follow you on Twitter?

Simple. I choose to follow people not based on their bio or their profile background picture or even their neat-o twitter name. People tend to follow everybody that the bigshot follows.

This is how you get them to follow you: http://twitter.com/journik/statuses/6510984765

Then to turn up the heat, blog about their business. They will definately follow you – leading to countless others who will automatically follow suit and follow the leader: @howardlindzon (a twitter investor) followed me after I wrote: http://semiprivate.posterous.com/

Now you know how I went from 400 followers to 9,000 in 3 months.
