			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter is becoming more and more popular as it moves into mainstream awareness. You can virtually guarantee a boost in growth when you see celebrities jumping on board.</p>
<p>While I have my own <a title="Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/John_Taylor" target="_blank">personal Twitter</a><a title="Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/John_Taylor" target="_blank"> account</a> with around 6,000 followers at the time of writing. I have also been testing niche networking by setting up accounts to target specific groups based on keyword searches.</p>
<p>Although it's to early to report accurate recommendations, I can share with you some specific tactics that enabled me to grow the number of followers quite quickly and to generate a reasonable level of earnings from my efforts.</p>
<p>As you'll probably already know, I'm a big fan of automation and the first thing I'm going to suggest is that you invest in the <a title="Twitter Friend Adder" href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=948925" target="_blank">Twitter Friend Adder</a>. It's a desktop application that allows you to find followers on the basis of a keyword search and it will also identify other people's followers.</p>
<p>Now, some people may think that it's a "black hat" tool. However, if used responsibly I think it's a great time saver.</p>
<p>Let's just take a moment... There's an unwritten expectation that the rules of reciprocation apply to Twitter. That is.. there's an expectation that if you follow someone, they will reciprocate and follow you.</p>
<p>So, if you were to use <a title="Twitter Friend Adder" href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=948925" target="_blank">Twitter Friend Adder</a> to find a follow 100 people, you'd expect that those 100 people would in turn follow you. It doesn't always work out like that. In my experience you can expect around 80% of the people that you follow to reciprocate.</p>
<p>So let's discuss how to automate the next steps..</p>
<p>If you haven't already got a <a title="Tweet Later" href="http://www.tweetlater.com/84758.html" target="_blank">Tweet Later</a> account, then sign up right now. Inside your dashboard you'll see an "Account" tab in the right hand sidebar and when you click that you can add, edit and configure the settings for each of your twitter accounts.</p>
<p>When you add or edit your account you'll see that there's a "Optional Automation" where you can set an Automatic welcome message. I suggest that you simply say "Thanks you for following me. Click here to learn more.. [add your link here]"</p>
<p>Of course you should have a dedicated Twitter landing page where you they can download a free report.</p>
<p>There's something else that you must include on your landing page......<span style="font-size:5px;">{+}</span><p style="background-color:#FFC;padding:3px;border:2px solid #FFCCCC;margin:0 0 5px;">The rest of this article is available to Premium Members only.<br /><a href="/become-a-premium-member/ "><b>Become a Premium Member</a> Right Now For Only $14.97</b><br>Grab Your Premium Membership Immediately And Beat The Price Increase!</p>
