How to get more Followers on Twitter
Mack Collier strikes again, from The Viral Garden
Here is what I did; Instead of targeting ‘influencers’, I targeted smart people. I could care less if they had 2 readers, or 20 when I found their blog. I started reading them because they were smart, and made me smarter for having read them. They are people that write compelling content, that create value for others, and that are motivated by being part of a larger community than themselves, not in drawing attention to themselves. And then I tell you to go read them as well.
This is how you gain subscribers and Twitter followers; you follow people smarter than you are, and you point other people toward these smart people. That is it. These people make YOU smarter, which means you create more VALUABLE content for your blog’s subscribers. When you point to the smart work that these people create, that creates value for your Twitter followers.
I agree with Collier in that surrounding yourself with, and pointing to, smart people makes you smarter, and more valuable. Creating value is what brings in the readers, the subscribers, and the followers.
