How To Get Famous #Followers On Twitter
12/07/09 16:04 Filed in: Twitter
Okay this one will be short and sweet. There is a simple trick that you can use to possibly get some real life celebrities to follow your Twitter account. It will really help if you have a blog, are a musician, or create any type of media. This may also work for those of you whose sparkling wit is the talk of the Twitterverse as well.
This is not guaranteed! If I could guarantee success I would be selling this for real money!
It’s a simple idea that many people may have stumbled upon. Search for famous people and follow some of the people that they follow. Which ones? The ones you never heard of, in short you follow the ones that might follow you back. What does that get you? Well if this person follows you back and you say something witty or post a great link to your latest blog post, this person might Re-Tweet your tweet in which case there’s a chance that your famous person may see it, read your tweet, read your blog post, listen to your song and like it enough to follow you for more of the same.
It’s a long shot I know. But if you’re going to follow a bunch of people anyway why not pick these people? If you can get these “Followed by the Famous” people in your following you have one degree of separation from a celebrity. Now I will warn you that many celebrities only follow other celebrities, this makes your task near impossible. You will most likely want to restrict yourself to those celebrities that follow some people that may actually follow you back.
Why do you care if celebrities follow you? Well, if they re-tweet a link to your content if could create a huge influx of interest. You would also be able to send direct messages to them, or possibly engage them in a conversation. Having fans of what you do that are in a position to help your career is always a good idea!
If you are lucky enough to snag yourself a famous follower, don’t abuse this new connection. Don’t send them direct messages 19 times an hour, if you send them a direct message at all. In any and all communications with them talk to them like you would talk to anyone else. It’s okay to be complimentary, just don’t be that stereotypical gushing fan who has nothing better than “Oh my god I can’t believe it’s you” to say!
Good luck networking with the stars!
