How do I get the Twitter followers that I want??

I started by following bloggers I knew. Then I looked for a few friends. It grew from there.

What is your twitter name, vangogh? I would love to follow you!

I'll give you exactly one guess.

I'm usually vangogh on all social networks. If the username is taken I add 99 to the end.

The way that has worked for me is to start following people that I would want to follow me. By saying "follow," I'm saying interact. Put them in a list and read what they are tweeting. Then re-tweet what they are saying and add a comment of your own. I've also mentioned them in a few of my tweets. Sooner or later you will get there attention. You have to think of it as a delayed, but brief dialogue. Hopefully, you find this helpful, I've only been using Twitter for about 3 months, so I'm fairly new as well. One thing I know I have to get better at is tweeting more regularly, so I'm using Hootsuite to schedule tweets.

That can definitely work. The one thing to keep in mind is if you follow someone popular they won't automatically notice your tweets, even if you @ them. You do have to be patient and keep trying. On the other side if you can get someone popular to @ you a message many of that person's followers will start following you.
