Retaining your twitter followers is not as easy as it seems. The reason is that people do not understand that twitter is not a market place. It is a place to share your ideas and network. This means that you have to provide value for your following or they will start to unfollow you. If you are not familiar with twitter read my beginner guide to twitter to get started.
I follow back practically 95% people that follow me. Some people say that it is not a good policy, but I disagree. Following people back is a way to show appreciation for the people that took time to follow you. Anyway, here are my concepts on how to get twitter followers to stick.
Tweet For Value
When you tweet, your message must be interesting for your followers. It can either be funny or in someway related to your niche.

Always think that would your followers want to read this, and you will be well off.

The whole test has been a bit too much for me. I have started to realise that I am coming almost addicted to the whole thing. I have been tweeting for hours and I have had a lot of fun. Gotta tell you that I would recommend it to anyone. Just keep in mind that your spouse may not like it so much if you tweet all the time. At least the feedback I’ve received from home has not been that positive.

Test is moving a long just fine and I believe I am well into reaching my goal of getting 1000 followers in one week. I have used digitalpoint forums to get advice and the advice has been helpful. Finding people to follow has been my main aim, and I believe I have been quite good at it.
The best thing so far: I was added in a list called WebDorks . Thanks for the thumbs up.
