How to Get 1 Million Followers on Twitter

March 8, 2011

1. Be Charlie Sheen
2. O.W.N. a television show that begins with your name
3. Arrive to meetings in an egg
4. Feather your hair
5. Be the President of the USA
If you accomplish all five, be prepared to shoot to celebrity status. But what is the point of having followers? Or being followed? Or creating a Twitter?
Obviously for businesses and celebrities, Twitter is another way for them to connect and stay in touch with their customers. Justin Bieber’s movie, Never Say Never, got promoted for free because of his Tweets, his followers’ Tweets, and their constant re-tweets. Businesses can also use Promoted Tweets so that they appear at the top of feeds and trends.
But let’s focus on You. Why should You create another username and password? Twitter is constantly being updated with developments of the latest news stories, much faster than television can report it and certainly quicker than print media can spit it out, allowing you to be up to date with current events. Twitter also has a search bar so you can follow technology trends, celeb gossip, and your close friends. Or say you want a quick opinion on something; Tweet it! Twitter never sleeps, and since it is a global phenomenon you will get a variety of feedback.
Even busy people have time to type a few characters from the app on their smartphone, their desktop, or laptop . Twitter can be compared to constantly updating your status on Facebook, only its expected that you share how delicious your orange was or the funky smell coming from your boss.
So now that I have convinced you to create a Twitter account, you should know a few basics. Twitter allows you 140 characters for each of your Tweets. Since links make popular Tweets, you can enter the long URL at tinyurl.com and it will shorten the link so it can fit with a comment into the character requirement. Finally, there are hashtags. Hashtags allow you to categorize your tweet. For instance, #breakuptexts, is a trend worldwide right now. If you have a funny breakup text start it with #breakuptexts so it can be streamed with other inconsiderate heartbreaking texts.
You are ready to become a Tweeter!
That’s just MY2CENTS

Florsheim Shoes {closed}

Thank you to all that entered and congrats to EMMA for winning!  xo You know when you first meet a handsome boy, in my case it was a bar, and everything about him is near perfect. His chiseled features, dark shiny hair, and stunning light blue eyes. Then you look down, and gasp, he's wearing sneakers. Not your run of the mill, fashion forward footwear, but we are talking Nike, Adidas, etc. running shoes. He's wearing them in a bar, with jeans, and a polo. If you're anything like me, the only times tennis shoes are acceptable are on the elliptical machine or running a half marathon. This boy turned out to be the love of my life, and with little resistance I was able to turn him into my fashionable sidekick. With a little help from  Florsheim  you can take your Valentine from sorry to sexy with a pair of shoes courtesy of this luxury brand. I've put together some inspirational looks for you. Just remember, you may not able to c...
