		<description>I see that there is some new start up company 'selling' followers to users. THey come in batches of 1000, 10000, etc. You pay the company and they start DM(ing) people on Twitter on your behalf. The thing that amuses me though it the fact that you are not gauranteed that those people are going to follow your business at all. They might take one look at you and say "why on earth should I follow this guy?". 

The best way on Twitter and every other social network is to keep it real. Be natural, be yourself and be professional all at the same time and your on the road to success! ;-)

		<description>Hi Donagh, thanks so much for the mention and link from your blog.

Dave, as always, thanks for your insight. It is interesting to hear about your experiment and I fully agree with you when you say "what is the value of doing this if these people don’t interact, contribute and create value" You are right, there is absolutely no point. I have learnt a lot about using twitter effectively by just watching you, Dave. That's @davidabrock for anyone that might be interested.

Hi Kimmo, You are right patience is key. But it is easy to see how people might get frustrated when every other person on there is saying how they got 10000 followers in 10 days etc etc. 

Nemopsy, thanks for taking the time to read and leaving a comment.

Thank you all for contributing.
