Tweeting won't work unless you have a list of Twitter followers to tweet to. That's the reason why you have to try to get as many people to follow you as possible.
As your Twitter profile begins growing, there are many ways in which you can add people to your list. But the important thing for you to know is that you can get a lot of Twitter followers when you start out itself.
Here are some ways in which you can ensure you have a Twitter base of followers even if you have just started out today.
1. Look in your existing list of contacts. When you sign up on Twitter, you get the option to notify people from your existing email inbox. Twitter's system will log in to your Gmail, Yahoo! or MSN or other in boxes and find people from your contacts who are already on Twitter. These can be added to your list. Also, people in your list of email contacts who aren't on Twitter will be sent an email asking if they would wish to join Twitter. You can get your initial Twitter followers in this manner.
2. When you sign in on Twitter, you can look for people who are in the same niche as you are and then you can follow them. This should be an activity you must do when you log in for the first time on Twitter.
3. Thirdly, there are various Twitter directories where you can find Twitter users sorted by category. This is a great way of finding like minded people and sending them invites. Two of these directories are TwitDir.com and twitterholic.com. You could also check out the yellow pages of Twitter on Twellow (available at twellow.com).
You won't go very far with your Twitter marketing unless and until you are keen about what your followers are up to. After all, your main playground in Twitter is your follower base and hence you need to be aware of their interests and preferences.
Thankfully, there are various tools that can help you keep tabs on your Twitter followers. Here we shall take a look at some of them.

This makes things easier if you have to locate someone and follow them or ask them to follow you. Twellow also helps you to find people who are very active on Twitter and have a high ranking. This certainly means that these people are tweeting with the right earnest.
Social Too (socialtoo.com)
This tool helps you keep tabs on how many new people are beginning to follow you on Twitter each day and also how many people have left following you.
