If you've spent any length of time on Twitter, you'll notice that not everyone uses it for professional reasons. It can be really stressful to wade through thousands of updates about what people are doing and eating to find meaningful content. But, hopefully by now you've been able to find that there is a lot of great content on Twitter if you can find it. I hope that you've been able to make some meaningful relationships by honing in on the right group of people through tweet chats and through people that you follow. 

Many experts will agree that success on Twitter is not dependent on the number of followers you have or the number of people you follow. I've heard talk about follower ratios and what the ideal ratio should be, but that's not what I want to focus on today. Today, I would like to share with you my philosophy on the Twitter follow. For someone new to Twitter, followers are a big deal. They are spending a good amount of time tweeting to an audience of five or ten and they feel a little lost in the noise. To those of you feeling this way - I offer hope. I was there too. And while I'm no Ashton Kutcher, I've gained followers slowly over the course of the last year. Would I have wanted this progress to happen faster? Absolutely not and I'll tell you why.
