I’ve been following John Chow’s advice since last week on how to get more targeted Twitter followers. Here is his advice in a snapshot:
1. Search on search.twitter.com for keywords in your niche.
2. Follow all the twitter users on the search results.
3. These users will starts following you back.
4. After 48 hours, unfollow all those that did not follow back using friendorfollow.com.
5. Rinse and repeat.
Just like what he said, this is a slow and painful way, but still effective on getting followers. For just a week of doing it, I already have 2300+ followers, I started with 300+ followers last week. See the graph below!

However, I did not strictly follow his advice and did some change of plans to make it faster, almost semi-automatic. Here’s what I actually did:
Instead of doing a search for the keywords on my niche and painfully following each user on the result, I simply follow John Chow’s followers! 😀 Why? Following each user on the search results takes time: you click on one of the search result to open his twitter page, wait for the page to load, then you click the follow button, then close the page and move to the next user. That really takes time. However, following John Chow’s user is simple. You open his follower’s page and click the follow button all the way from the top to bottom. You can follow 20 users in less than a minute. 🙂 Since we are on the same “Make Money Online” niche, I’m sure that his followers are of the same interest as mine. Easy, isn’t it? 😀
I also modified step 4 to make my life easier. Instead of using the friendorfollow.com site, where you get a list of people you follow who don’t follow you back, then you open their twitter page and unfollow them that takes a lot of time, I used tweepular.com instead! With Tweepular, you can get the list of people who don’t follow you back and you can easily unfollow them with a single click of your mouse. No visiting their twitter page. A single click, and 200 of them are unfollowed in an instant. Almost instantly. Almost automatic!
What’s the purpose of getting tons of Twitter followers? Lots of followers mean lots of people reading your tweets. It’s easier to get your voice out there, specially if your followers are targeted and know exactly what you are tweeting about. Some people are actually making lots of money because of this. And I want to be one of them. 😀 Maybe, in the near future.
wow! oo nga no! ang dami agad ah.. nabasa ko din tong post na to kay john chow, kasi tinamad me.. Katamaran nga naman, walang mangyayaring mabuti pag tamad.. tsk tsk.. 😀
That’s a brilliant idea 😮 I’m more of a Plurk user though. xD
Effective nga yang technique na yan, pero pansinin mo yung mga new followers mo, hindi naman sila yung mga finollow mo diba? Bakit kaya?
slowly but surely does it. 🙂
Will try! 😀
I tried it. it works! pwede ko ng ibandera ang tweeter counter ko, maraming na kasing followers eh. ahehehehe. 😀
mga gano kalaki ung potential na kita sa tweeter follower na more or less 2000 followers?
Definitely a surefire strategy for building up your list on Twitter. Granted it is slow, but it is effective nonetheless. By the way, thanks for sharing that tweepular website! I never liked the fact of having to manually unfollow, but that definitely saves some time!
Thank you so much for the link to the tweepular site. I’m headed that way now.
ano ba ang use ng twitter? for announcement lang naman db? no-follow ang link mo dun eh. tama ba ako?
okay, now the question is: should i follow your followers too?
(big smile)
thanks,

Aba! Akalain mo?
Hehehe, oks to erap ah, you have got my follow and I WILL buy you a beer if I get my follows up using your method as taught J. Chow haha! 😉
i tried following the hard way, using the search function of twitter. but then, the next day, twitter and other social networks got banned in the office. and i got some connection problems with my N82 too. I couldn’t connect to smart internet.
so much for my tweeting. i’ll be back soon!
I read a twitt from Marghil to use a great tool, I use it now to add followers in a flash http://twitseeker.com/f
There are many people trying to make money online, but there are many different ways to do so,… Now I m wondering why your Keywords are abou “making money Online”,.. I guess your Followers (Who look for the same Keywords) are not your potential customers, but potential Competitors,…

Salamat sa napaka-useful mong advise. I tried it myself and see great improvements on traffic on my NBA PLAYOFFS site. I just searched for NBA playoffs keyword, and found a guy with 700+ followers. Jackpot!
Keep up the good work man, thanks for sharing!

Hi
I read your post on Twitter and building a huge list with great interest. You must be one of the rare few I have found on the net who has written with honesty and with a genuine care to share.
I am an absolute babyboomer newbie – in other words I am of ‘mature age’ 🙂
Can you kindly show me or take my hand (so to say) to guide me on how to set up this Twitter idea of yours? I don’t have a topic as yet but as you can see I can write well. I am OK to log on Twitter and set up an account. I am kind lost after that to know how to monetize it and make money.
Any advice?
I simply would love to build a Twitter site, build a huge list fast, and make money from it…but I don’t quite know how to actually get it all going.
Any advice?
Kind regards from Sydney Australia

Twitter is a proven effective way to create a marketing network in the internet. Good to know you have more than 2k followers now.
this is a great post! will try to follow your tops 😉
I was amazed when i first saw your follower’s it was still around 10k but now its almost 2x that number? wow 😉
i think gets ko na how this stuff works, i came across your blog, this particular blog, then i got curious if it’s really possible to earn like this. more tips pls. this extra income could really help me in supporting my studies.
pre sinunod ko ung naka post d2 eh,,, parang na suspend for few hours ung account ko… araw araw kc ako ng follow ng 200 account…. ndi mba na experience sayo un? mga ilan lang ang fina-follow mo per day pra ndi ma banned ung account sa twitter ????
I followed this and it really works, although I noticed things got slower after I reached 2000 followers. After the 2K mark, I can only follow an additional 200+ people per day. Now I already have 3K followers, and I’m actually getting the hang of tweeting. Thanks for sharing these excellent tips!
Great bro, I am actually watching Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher’s membership site talking about this one. You know what, your info costs 97USD.
galing mo naman!!! hehe idol! i want to follow you! tell me how 🙂 my username in Twitter is PinoyClickster!
no need to tell me how..i’m already following you 🙂 thank you and more power!
i tried your technique get 6000 followers in a month, but then twitter banned my account, because twitter not permited agressive follow/unfollow and use automated tools, know some technique for avoid this
Hi, I clicked the site tweepular.com but it does not work. I wonder why.

I actually know a good website that helps you automatically follow tons of people to get THOUSANDS of NICHE targetted followers. You can’t make money without them!
http://www.twitterautomate.com
The site automates the whole process and does a lot more! It allows you to automatically follow people based on keywords, unfollow those not following you, follow back those following you, automatically post tweets (schedule them ahead of time), and auto mass direct messages (does not have to be set to auto though!)
You can just set and forget it 🙂 It’s webbased and no password is needed.
