How To Follow The Right People On Twitter?
One of my reader who just started blogging ask me how to get targeted traffic to his newly created blog? I suggested him to read my this blog post [ how to get traffic for newly created blog] and also asked him to be active on social media networks like twitter and FaceBook. He told me that he has just created account twitter but don’t know how to get started, how to follow right bunch of people and how to build a huge follower list.
Well this is very important, after creating account on twitter your first job is to find right people in your blog niche to follow. The easiest way to find those people is to just search them through search bar which you see Twitter home page. Type your niche with hash tag and hit the search button. Like if your blog niche is Mobile Gadget then you can search for Term #mobile #Gadgets, you will be given real time search results of people tweeting about Mobile or Gadgets. you can open up their profile from result page, read their profile bio and can decide to follow them.
There are sites which can help you find the people of targeted blend to follow on twitter.
Here is a small list of these sites;
[1] listorious : Listorious is a Twitter user Directory, it makes easy to find who matters on any topic with the best Twitter people search on the web. It empower thousands of people to curate Twitter by allowing them to tag their list in our Twitter list directory.
[2] Twitterel : You can insert a maximum of 50 keywords of your interest to TwitteRel and it will suggest you on that basis the top, active and important people to follow in your niche.
[3] Twitteradder: Just enter your Twitter login details and it will add 20 random friends to your account, all you have to do is decide if you want to keep them or not. It’s that simple. Their suggestion of 20 user is based on information you provide to twitter about your niche.
[4] Just Tweet It: It is again a directory of twitter User based on various category. You can choose the people to follow according to your interest and blog niche. Just Tweet It was created to make it easier for people using the popular micro-blogging service Twitter to find other “Tweeters” with similar interests.
[5] TwitDir: As the name suggest, TwitDir is Twitter Users directory, It has some helpful lists of ‘Top” if you’re interested with who the most popular people on Twitter.
So I think the above information will help a newbie Twitter user to get started and interact and get some targeted traffic to his/her blog. Remember always a good beginning is half the work done, if you start following people blindly the one fine day you will find that twitter is not adding any valuable contribution despite the hard effort and precious time you spend on using it.

such a brilliant article ………… helped me a lot in understanding twitter …. really liked your post ……
I think these techniques also applies to fan pages and friends you may want to add in Facebook. Thanks
The manual labour of following the right people on twitter can be quite tedious, but if you break it down into bite-sized chunks of say ten people at a time, twice a day, you can pretty much do 600 a month without raising too much of a sweat. The nice thing is that most people follow back, so your follower list will also show some growth for your efforts. Then it is up to you to make meaningful tweets, to make sure you show up in the search results, and get followers because of that.

I’ve regretted following certain Twitter accounts as they are just “spammy” ones and not real people behind it. It’s sort of too late now as I don’t want to filter them one by one but I’m quite selective now in following people back
