TWITTER LIST BUILDING – TAKE THE DIRTY SHORTCUTS, OR BUILD NATURALLY?
In today’s podcast presentation we’ll talk about building your following on Twitter. Do you prefer to ramp-up the speed of your follower list growth artificially, or do you prefer “organic” follower building methods? With artificial Twitter follower list building, people hire consultants to handle the grunt work of collecting masses of new followers. Others pay an outright fee for a bulk amount of followers. But with organic building, these Twitter citizens prefer to meet and connect with others based on common interest and 1-on-1 interaction.
We will discuss the difference between the two methods, along with the following topics:
- When Twitter becomes nothing more than the Chicago phone book
- What happens when cheaters, scammers, and con artists all get together in one community
- The advantages to organic Twitter follower list building
- Why trust is vital to Twitter marketing for businesses
- The “Instant Rock Star Bait-and-Switch” dirty Twitter tactic

The funny part about building a twitter following the slow and sincere way is that I am actually finding people that are interested in what I have to say, not people who are constantly trying to cram their affiliate links down my throat…
That is my two cents…

I wrote a blog post with an in depth answer to this question here: http://www.learnsmallbusiness.com/873/organic-vs-inorganic-twitter-list-building/
My short answer is that I prefer the organic method. This way I know my followers and they know me.
