I was wondering, what do you all think about buying twitter followers?
Will you buy twitter followers? if YES/NO what are your reasons?

Hi mtn,

Great question. It will be interesting to see what everyone has to say on this topic. In my opinion buying Twitter followers misses the whole point of social media. When you get a minute, take a look at this blog post about Twitter influence. Your influence is what ultimately makes you money, and the degree of influence you have is about a lot more than just the number of followers you've got. So what if you have 20,000 followers who you're not really connected with or who don't really care what you have to say? On the other hand, if you had 1,000 followers hanging on your every word, you'd be able to convert that influence into cash in your pocket. That's what I think. Would love to hear another take on this topic.

Best of luck!
John
