You can get famous people to follow you on Twitter if you really try

written by on September 17th, 2009

Have you ever noticed how many people the stars on Twitter actually follow compared to how many are following them?  There’s a huge difference… often hundreds of thousands or even millions are following them and they’re following back a few hundred at best.

So how can you get famous people to actually follow you?  The writer at NTOPIX.com thinks he’s found a way.  Essentially he suggests you follow those few people that the celebrities are following and then in turn a lot of them will likely follow you back, and you’ll basically be just one degree of separation away from a celebrity on Twitter.  And if you can manage to strike up a conversation on Twitter with one of those people, or if they retweet something that you write, the celebrity who’s following them may notice you and follow you as well if they’re interested in what you’re writing.

Seem far fetched?  Well, it might be, but it’s probably be worth a shot.  Afterall, you’ve got nothing to lose… worst case scenerio you’ll gain some more twitter followers!

What do you think? Do you care if a celebrity is following you on Twitter or not?  Do you have anyone famous following you on Twitter?

    Stop using comic sans. This is a very serious piece of advice.

    I’ve seen loads of Beiber fans @ reply him billions of time until he follows them and I find this a little excessive. The advice you provided sounds like a pretty good idea. And I don’t have anyone famous following me on twitter, and to be honest I don’t really mind. Its not like they’ll read my posts with 7,000 other posts on their dashboard :P
