I don’t know if you realize that about half of your Twitter followers are automated spam bots. Then what’s worse, only about 2% of your remaining twitter followers are in your market sector. Basically, whatever it is that you are selling, if you have the average number of 100 followers, only one of your followers would even stand a chance of buying what you sell.
So, How do you get people who actually have more than a snowflake’s chance of buying or reading your blog? Simple. Do what I do. Since I’m in the web-tech and bio-tech industries, I simply follow the people who follow my biggest well known competitors. I follow the people who follow @mashable and @cnnhealth
I have a 40% follow-back rate. So what that means is that if I just follow 3 of the people who follow my well known competitors, I’ll have one more targeted follower. Going from just one to two is a whole 200% increase in the likelihood that someone will read your blog and order from you!
Figure out who is the well known top dog in your industry. Just follow everyone who follows them. It’s like stealing candy from a sleeping industry giant!
