I originally wanted to get some paid advertising to start off with, but that will come later, right now we are looking for FREE ways to promote our site.  You see that Twitter Icon everywhere, but may ignore it because you think it’s another Myspace. Totally false.  What it is, is a great way for you to get yourself, your business, or your website known fast! Twitter  is a great way to build your online community. Once you sign up, you will realize how easy it is to follow sites and friends of your niche, and share with them what you have to offer. Which brings me to why I’m writing this post.  Yesterday, I wanted to break 100 followers. I had 50 going into the day, and judging how fast I was able to get 50, I thought I could pass 100 no problem.  I could of done it by writing some API that every time someone followed me, I would follow them, then go and follow everyone under the sun.  Instead, I just laid back and worked on my campaigns and see if I could pass it without following anyone that just followed me for the day. When I got on, I noticed a reply from ShoeMoney! Unfortunately I did not get the official screenshot, but it was just a basic shout out, calling me a cool cat, which I thought was sick, along with a link to my website.

Lets take a look at his stats:

Here is one result from his shout out…this alone made it worth it. Gaining a readers is my goal, and this helped out beutifully….

So, we finally reached 100 users.  According to Twittercounter, I will have over 1k next month.  I will believe that when I see it, but this just shows what a usefull tool this can be, and easily applied to your website.
