Twitter Is About Quality of Followers Not Quantity

Why quality followers on Twitter are important- Quality is something you want to focus on much more than quantity.

If you have a lot of followers who don’t pay attention to you or what you have to say you are spinning your wheels.

Great advice Angela! I heard a long time ago that having a large number of followers would make you attractive to more people, thus earning you more followers. However, I’ve learned that Twitter is not a vanity contest. Getting the most from Twitter and all social networks comes down to following and building relationships with the right people.

In addition, twellow.com is another great resource for building a targeted following. Through the Twellowhood feature of the site, you can locate followers right down to state and city. It’s pretty handy!

Thanks for this enlightening post on an important subject. So many people are lost in Twitter-Land because they don’t have a road-map. You have given them one.
