sending tweets to all and sundry in the hope that they will be
able to gather a large group of followers they can market to. You need
to
be more selective and target those you can more identifiy with. If
you’re in a certain niche then you don’t want to generate

time
to build some solid contacts who will be interested in what you have to
say. If you do this right then you can include some of your advertising
material this will seem more natural.

interest to them or that they may want or need. Paying close attention
to their responses could give you an idea for a future project. This

shown to be of interest on Twitter.So in effect you are using Twitter
