Expand Your Flock On Twitter

When you first start using Twitter, it can be hard to figure out who to follow and how to get people to follow you back.  There are plenty of interesting and wonderful people on Twitter, but all new users often see is the spam accounts and the fake dating site profiles.  How do you find the right people? And, if you’re trying to build a presence for your company or website on Twitter, how do you find people who will be interested in what you offer? Tweetpromote is a free app that might help!

One method of finding friends on Twitter  is to find people whose interests are similar to you or who seem like the type of person who would be interested in your company. Then, you can not only follow those people, you can also look up their friends and followers and follow some of them.  Doing this manually takes forever, though.

Tweetpromote is nifty because it makes this whole process a lot faster.  With just a click, you can explore your friends and followers, plus your friends’ friends and your followers’ followers.  You’ll see their pictures, their bios and their last tweets.  If they seem interesting, you can follow them. This also helps you screen for spam accounts. Plus, you can filter to see which of your friends follow you back and which like to play “hard to get.”  If you want to get rid of the “non-followers” in your friends list, you can drop them all with a single click.   Conversely, any time you have a set of Twitter users up on screen, you can follow them all at the same time, with one click.

Finally, Tweetpromote has a keyword search function that helps you find people who are talking about things that interest you. Then, you can follow them, or even insert yourself into their conversation  if you have some helpful advice to offer.

Twitter is all about building relationships, and the cool thing about Tweetpromote is that it lets you build up your Twitter account by connecting you with other users that you can actually relate to.  Of course, there are plenty of apps out there that help guide you through Twitter and find interesting accounts for you to follow and be followed by.  However, what Tweetpromote lacks in innovation, it makes up for with its sharp, intuitive user interface. Plus, it’s free, and getting started takes maybe 30 seconds using OAuth.

Will Tweetpromote help you get 1000’s of followers in just 7 days? Ummm…probably not. What it can do is help you expand your Twitter network in a meaningful way….and in my opinion, that makes it an extremely useful tool!

How do you discover new people to follow on Twitter?

  1. is there a tool that allows me to get rid of all the non followers just by clicking on it? it s such a pain in the ass!

    • Well, you can get rid of all the non-followers on a page using Tweetpromote. Tweetspinner also has an option to purge non-followers-you can even set it up on a schedule. Hope that helps!
