1000 followers on Twitter in 6 months!

I just reached 1000 followers on Twitter and I followed a process from day 1.

• Talk about what you're building
• The more niche the better (for me it's SaaS startups)
• Engage with people who you find cool (comment on Tweets 2-3 times a day)
• DM some people who you want to have a close relationship with
• Post at least 2 tweets a day
• Retweet once every few days
• ASK PEOPLE FOR ADVICE / START A CONVERSATION
• Don't be negative

Thoughts? What has worked for you?
