You might block:
o People you do not know
o People you do not like
o People whose culture or morals do not fit with yours (like blocking porn stars)
Even if you accept someone, you could later block that person if, for example, you realize that they just want to sell and are not on
In this example, let’s say that Bill accepts Albert’s invitation. Now, Albert has one Follower (or one more Follower) and Bill now is Following Albert. Bill is now in the

Here Are the All-Important
The very first DO is: use your real name “Mary McGregor” so that others can find you. You may also use a nickname. I don’t.
The second DO has to do with speeding the process of getting more followers. Simply wait for several days after following someone and then delete them if they do not follow you back. How do you know? Just look at the list of those you follow. If you see a “DM” or “Direct Message” button, then they are following you. If it is blank, then they have not followed you. You may wish to go through that entire list and purge (or delete) anyone who has not followed you. Now, your ratio is in balance and you can go out inviting more and getting more followers.
The third DO is about keeping in touch. Each day, send a micro-blog of anything that is on your mind, a fun website you’ve found, etc.
The fourth DO is to reply to DMs sent to you.
The fifth DO (and you must wait till you have earned a relationship) is to offer something for sale, but in a conversational way. Here’s an example…
“WOW, I just found the world’s funniest video. I laughed like crazy. Check it out on my blog http://www.MyBlog.com.”
That just fits within the 140-character ceiling. If you’ve built good relationships and if the video is really funny and if the video is about scented candles in some way and if there is a compelling offer to buy scented candles on your blog website, then you will begin getting sales!
And the final DO is about publicizing your
And, Now For the Even More Important DON’Ts
Firstly, DON’T begin selling too soon.
Secondly, DON’T make your sell obvious. Make it conversational.
Thirdly, DON’T ignore DMs. They are what creates the social networking.
DON’T lose interest. Once you have created this network, you need to mother it to nurture it.
And, The Final Point…
Have fun. It’s easy. It’s fast. It really works.
