How to Retweet to Get Followers
Retweet others' tweets regularly as a mean of gaining followers on Twitter. When you retweet someone's tweet, Twitter notifies him that you've mentioned his name. If he publicly replies to you, your Twitter name appears in a message he sends out to his entire network, exposing it to all his followers. The more people who see your Twitter name, the more likely you are to gain followers, so retweet often and with priority for users who already have a lot of followers.
