78. Building your audience Regularly follow people each day and talk to them as people (try not to talk too much about your business/organisation etc.) When people follow you back, talk to them and start building a relationship. When you reach 300 - 500 followers start to talk more about your business or organisation etc. Start to write and promote your events, articles, blog posts etc on your website. Make sure your content is successful at educating people about who you are and what you do. Tell a story - http://cctphotography2011.posterous.com/ As relationships with people build consider contacting them and attending meet ups organised by other twitterers.
