I've never really concentrated on twitter, but I guess it is pretty important for IM.

How do I go about getting followers on twitter? I see people with up to 20k followers, how have they done this.

Also, do I need to tweet every day, useful information... what's the best plan of action here. Cheers.

    Twitter can be great for personal or company branding and interaction. Most of the folks out there who have lots of fans use softwares that help get that many for them based on keywords and such (I know because I run a service that gets folks twitter followers). This takes some time to build that kind of following and to stay within Twitter's guidelines.

    Tweeting every day, and things that are useful, can definitely help. Actually, tweeting more times a day is good - I usually say that 4-5 times a day is good to catch more people, as most folks only see what is on the first page of their Twitter profile, and if you posted 18 hours ago, you probably aren't there (I have been breaking this rule by not tweeting enough). Just don't drive people crazy with 20 tweets in a row. You are sure to get unfollowed.

    Also, a good way to get noticed and to get more followers is humor. Sharing something funny can get retweeted, getting you some more attention and followers. Humor has done me quite well over the years on facebook, twitter, and my personal site.

    Also when you follow people, make sure not to follow just anyone. Follow only those that are interested in your "niche". You can find these type of people by using the Twitter Search and typing in your "niche". Then follow those people daily.
