Just subscribed a short time ago and didn't have the same experience. I started following some interesting people, from my point of view, and I immediately got followers.
I suspect that some people follow new subscribers with similar interests so that they follow back expecting the new subscriber to see who they are.
The other thing I did was to tweet a private message to some known person who answered me. So this might have caught some attention too if it was seen by others. Since one has to follow both people involved in a "private" communication to see the exchange, this could motivate people to follow me.
- darksaga 15y agoI've been on Twitter since the beginning and have had the same experience. Start following some people, post some interesting things and you'll get followers. Another way to get followers is to either pimp a product or complain about a product. More often than not, you'll get some followers and you might get a response. Either way, I've loved it. It's very stream of conscious and a great sounding board for me.
