JC - Technology and Stuff

A couple of months ago I started to notice that my Twitter inbox was getting full with DMs (direct messages) from people promising me “16,000 followers in only 90 days”. It actually got to me after a while and made me a little annoyed. Especially as most of these people only had a hundred or so followers at the time.

So after a couple of weeks of living with this I decided I’d run my own “Twitter Experiment” and see if I could get my own 16,000 followers without spamming, resorting to traffic sites, paying anybody, or anything else ‘dubious’. I wanted to build my own 16,000 followers using legitimate means.

At the time I had about 200 followers and now, nearly two months later, I have amassed over 12,000 and only need another 4,000 to reach my goal. Along the way, I have found my Twitter niche and made some wonderful friends. It’s difficult to keep up with everyone, but I always make sure I answer all that send me a personal DM or a @reply.

Anyway, I just wanted to write this brief post to let you all know what I’ve been doing recently. My intention is that in about 2 weeks time, when I expect to hit the 16,000, I will write a long detailed post about ‘how I did it’. Hopefully it will be of interest and help anyone who wants to legitimately create a large Twitter following.

If you’re one of my follows, thank you. If you’re not, please follow me at: @jcx27

Later…
