You’ve heard of Twitter before, right? It’s a microblogging platform that allows you to post short ‘posts’ in 140 characters or less. Twitter is a very powerful tool for bloggers; if used properly, you can gain a substantial amount of traffic.
However, for you to gain this traffic, you must have followers, the equivalent to subscribers in a standard blog. The more real followers you have, the more people will be reading your tweets. For example, if you only have 10 followers, only 10 people will see your tweets whenever you post them.
However, if you have 10,000 followers, 10,000 people will see anything you tweet! With the retweet feature of twitter and the ability to post links as well as text, you can imagine how much targeted traffic you can gain from twitter. So, how do you gain the necessary number of real followers so you can benefit from this?
Before I go any further, let me make known to you a little fact:
On my CoolAppSite twitter, I have over 4300 followers. I have not used any illegal ways to gain these followers, and I am not followed by a mass of spam bots – they’re all real humans. Last but not least, I have gained this amount of followers in less than a month, as seen below.
My Twitter Followers Chart
Now as you probably imagined, this is usually where I would go and say, “And all you need to do buy the special Tweet Follower Getter software – it’s on sale for $199.95 today only!“
But I’m not going to say that, because I got these followers without paying a single penny – so why should you? I used a tool called Buzzom. It’s completely free to use and works like you won’t imagine.
Every day or so, I would simply sign in on Buzzom with my twitter account, click “Direct Operation.” I’d click “Grow,” wait for several seconds until it’s over, and then click it again. I would follow an average of 150 every other day using this technique. Then, several days later, I would come back to Buzzom and click the “Flush” operation.
Final Thought
It works amazingly well and I can’t find any program you pay for that works half as well. I hope you find this tip useful to expand your twitter community on your way to making your blog succeed! Happy tweeting to your new 4000 followers! If you liked this post, don’t forget to check out my blog, CoolAppSite!

This tool is awesome, but I wonder about the quality of followers I gain using this tool. So how about the RT per day you get using this tool? This metric is far more exactly to judge a Twitter account, we should ignore the number of follower, it’s meaningless these days.

@Phaoloo – I also wonder on the quality, I guess try it out on a test account and see if it works for you.
The RT rate is not quite as high as I would like, but if I post an attractive tweet, it gets retweeted several times.

have to try this but before doing so i would like to know about the quality of the followers..??

The quality of the followers is medium-high. They are definitely real humans, but they may not be laser-targetted with what you are tweeting about.
Robomaster´s last blog ..Interview with Nick Cardot of SiteSkech101
Interesting tool and its fast too without any registration needed. I just tried it on a dummy twitter acc I usually keep for testing these things.
My question too is how far are the followers…. really us useful when it comes to RT?
I noticed that the system however gives its result for you to follow based on who people you are following are being followed by.
That is:
Say you follow A…that tool see who is following A and it include some of them in the proposed list.
@Kurt – I guess some might be ok while others are not. The only way is to try it out and see what the outcome is.
but sometime the number not always as good as you say, you have 10 000 follower.. and once you tweet, and everyone else tweet too.. so your tweet will go down and down without someone notice it.. that why have more people to RT out tweet it can get much bigger audience

I used one such application (sorry, I forgot it’s name), it helped me to gain a lot of followers back then, but I had to unnecessarily follow some random twitter users as a result of which I missed some tweets from my friends. Since then I stopped using any such apps
John Samuel ´s last blog ..How to create Twitter lists?
The only problem I see with this sort of system is Twitter itself, if they deem you to be following and unfollowing too much they will remove your tweets from their search result, a sort of black listing, yes you can still do everything on twitter, but, if you search your username in twitter “from:username” you may find that your tweets no longer appear!

Karen, I have not been blocked from Twitter and I am still using this tool.

For any of you wondering how high-quality the followers are: I use bit.ly, a link shortener that has real-time tracking. (I can tell when someone clicks on a link the second they click it.)
Whenever I post a link on twitter, I get an average of 10~25 clicks on it within 5 minutes after it is tweeted. I don’t know about you, but that’s a high enough number for me!
Thanks for enjoying my post; if you have any other questions feel free to ask!

I personally try to avoid this, I would rather have people click and follow me based on my material or business ventures. I have used tools in the past I just find the quality dwindling down.
Extreme John´s last blog ..9 Tips to Proper Employee Counseling
It’s really up to you. I thought the same as you did initially (and for good reason,) and most of the tools I got only gave me 50 followers or so a day and they were all spam bots. However, buzzom gives me much higher quality followers than I could ever gain by simply tweeting quality tweets and hoping for followers.

I used a similar tool once and it got me about 500 more followers. This definitely sounds easier and more effective.
A very cool website to try. Thanks for sharing. Greg Ellison

Hey Serradinho, I see that your twitter account for your name only have less than 200 followers, why not you try this method for that twitter account?
Lee Ka Hoong´s last blog ..Make Money Blogging Guide For Beginners
Lee Ka Hoong – I did it once today and I will check the results after doing it now and then. I will let you know what happens.
Cool! I’m trying this with my health blog too, need to do for 1 week and see how it’s going. Hope it could generate me thousand followers just like Robomaster.
Lee Ka Hoong´s last blog ..Make Money Blogging Guide For Beginners
@Lee Ka Hoong – I’m sure you can do it with using this tool, but go ahead and try it and let me know. You have over 1k followers, so that is a lot already.
Thanks bro, but I’m not trying this with my main twitter account, I tried it with my health blog twitter account.
I have a question, I’ve followed about 1k followers (200+ follow me back) in this 2 days, after that there is no more twitter user for me to follow. They will refresh the system to get more new twitter user into the system, or they have only this much of twitter user?
Perhaps Robomaster can share his experience?
Lee Ka Hoong´s last blog ..Make Money Blogging Guide For Beginners
You have to unfollow everyone who isn’t using this tool:
http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/
You cannot follow more than 2000 unless you have a similar level of followers yourself. So follow targeted users with Buzzom, wait a day or two, and unfollow everyone who hasn’t followed you.
Wash, rinse and repeat!

your charging for this tool… i’ve tested an account recently and built up 500 followers in a month in the health niche! Although they’re not laser targetted… its not bad for the manual effort….
What are you charging like for this?

Curious Little Person´s last blog ..What is a Linkwheel? How to use them for your benefit?
@CLP – I’m confused now. I read the post and Robomaster is saying that one could spend money to get many followers, but that the tool is for free (Buzzom). Maybe you did not understood it fully.
I’m not quite understanding your comment. I am not charging anything for you to use this tool; I don’t even own it.
Could you further explain?

Buzzom is really awesome. I have been using it for a while to build my followers list. Thank you for sharing it. Hey George, you must try this tool. I got 500 followers in 10days.

@Ricky – i am using it now, but will test it opver the next month or so and see what happns.
I am always on the lookout for new twitter follower tools and this one looks promising. I am a bit concerned about the following and unfollowing aspect though. I have had one of my accounts banned in the past for aggressive unfollowing.
Tycoon Blogger´s last blog ..Plugin that will help with your weekly roundup blog posts
Our account will be banned for aggressive unfollowing? I knew that John Chow had a twitter tool that used to unfollow all the following twitter fellow, which mean his twitter tool will lead the account to be banned?
Lee Ka Hoong´s last blog ..Make Money Blogging Guide For Beginners
@Lee Ka Hoong – I am using the tool, but every few days as I don’t want my account to be banned. I think one must be careful not to abuse it.
@Tycoon – just be careful and don’t abuse it and all should be ok.
Am also concerned about those followers as I have just unfollowed nearly 2k as they seems to be spammers and inactive users. Congrats anyway

Hey great tool, I’ve just followed 100 today and will see how mnay follow me back. I think I’m going to follow around 100 everyday to and then see if it works or not. By hte way is 100 a day to much? Should I follow less?
I;ve also heard that twitter allows that were only allowed to follow maximum 2000, is this true?
100 shouldn’t be too many.
You can only follow 2000 IF you don’t have enough followers. If you are following huge masses of people (2000+) and you don’t have enough followers, then Twitter assumes you’re a spam bot and doesn’t let you follow anymore. So make sure you use twit karma:
http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/
Just unfollow everyone who’s not following you every couple days, the n follow new users using Buzzom. Good luck!

Looks interesting. One has to try to see the quantity and quality of followers, may be by experimentation.
Ashok´s last blog ..How to create your own theme for Windows 7
I agree with most of the commenters that said getting this many followers is kind of useless and not really quality networking at all – unless your goal is to spam affiliate links all day. If your goal is to truly build a brand and connect with people this is really not a good idea.
