Learn and use the "Sand Dune" Technique to dramatically increase your number of relevant Twitter followers.

First you need to know Twitter's Two Commandments:

-Thou Shalt Not Follow More Than 2000 Twitterers at the beginning of your Twitter Life.

-When Thou Followest 2000 Twitterers, Thou Must Keepeth Thy Number of Followers within 10% of the Number of those Whom you follow

Now, we can abide by the Two Commandments and also use the "Sand Dune" Technique for growing our Twitter presence.

STRIDE UP THE SAND DUNE

As soon as you open your Twitter account, race out there and follow as many relevant other Twitterers as you wish. If you are a florist in Cincinnati, then find as many single men in that town as you can and follow them all. They are relevant to you. If you are a Realtor who help people buy investment real estate, then race out there and find as many people in your city or your state or in your country who wish to get rich in real estate. Do Twitter searches with relevant key words and you will find what you seek. In this way, you will race up the Sand Dune.

PAUSE AND REST ON THE SAND DUNE

Eventually, you will slam up against Commandment One, following 2000 Twitterers. You cannot follow any more. You cannot race up the Sand Dune any more. You must stop. You pause. You rest.

Soon, some of those 2000 you have followed will open their account and be notified that you have followed them. The Twitter culture is that people openly and willingly like to follow back. So, you have paused at following 2000 others and soon you will have 10, then 20, then 30 followers. Roughly speaking, anywhere from 10% to 50% of those whom you follow will follow you back.

After a few days of pause, you may be following 2000 and you may have maybe 500 followers.

SLIDE DOWN THE SAND DUNE

Now, unfollow the other 1500 you are following. You can tell by clicking on your list of those you follow. The ones with DM mean that you can send them a DM (a direct message). Without the DM means that they have not followed you back. Unfollow those ungrateful Twitterers.

Now, you have slid down the sand to following 500 and having 500 followers.

STRIDE BACK UP THE SAND DUNE

Now follow 1500 different relevant Twitterers.

PAUSE, SLIDE DOWN, STRIDE UP, PAUSE, SLIDE DOWN, STRIDE UP, ETC.

Again you are at your limit of following 2000 but now you have 500 followers. Soon, you'll be at maybe 900 followers. Keep redoing this process. Soon, you will reach the magic number of 1819 followers. Now you can breach the 2000 ceiling and get up to following 2001.

Eventually, you will have 3000 followers and be able to follow 3300. Eventually you will have 4000 followers and be able to follow 4400. And so on it goes. You stride up, you pause to catch your breath, you slide down and stride back up again.

That is the "Sand Dune" Technique for growing your Twitter presence. Best of success.
