Always try to engage your Twitter followers to interesting conversation on various topics. You should not limit yourself on product updates and promotional tweets. This will only bore your followers and you will be labeled as a spam. So take time to take about different topics of interest while still maintaining a professional demeanor.

Do not tweet unsolicited updates or those you feel are completely irrelevant to your followers. Every once is a while it is good to post self promotional tweets, however, you also need to remain interactive and personal.

Try to give more value to your followers by offering some perks for their participation.

It is not a good idea to use a mass follower software. Not only because you need to value quality versus quantity, but most importantly it comes with a lot of risks
