Tactic
This is very easy and will take you under an hour of work total. The basic idea is to follow a bunch of people in the niche you are in, then the next day you unfollow everyone that isn't following you back. Then rinse, repeat.
How do you do this? Easy. There is a created tool that will do this for you. The tool is called FlashTweet.
Login to Flashtweet using your Twitter account (flashtweet.com). Now, click on the Mass Follow link. This will allow you to follow other users followers 100 at a time. I suggest you follow 1000 the first day, and then 200 every other day. Find someone in your niche that has a lot of followers. For example, "shoemoney" has 20,000 followers for the internet marketing niche. You would put "shoemoney" in on the mass follow page. His friends will then be listed 100 at a time. You can than select all and follow them. Keep doing this until you are following 1000 people.
So once you are following 1000 people just wait a day. Many people will follow you back just for following them. For best results have a hot girls picture in your profile (THIS IS IMPORTANT --USE A HOT GIRLS PICS). By the next day you should have about 350-450 followers. The next day log back into flashtweet and choose the "Following Only" link. This will display all the people you are following that are not following you back. These people are in the way of you breaking your 2000 followers cap so they should be dumped. Check select all and mass unfollow all of them. You will have to do this page by page (100 at a time). Now go back to the mass follow link and mass add more people until you reach 2000 again. Rinse, Repeat.
Within 3 days I was able to get 1100 followers with my real account. Accounts with hot girls you will see better results. I got over 40 referrals within one night. Just update your status every 2 hours or so saying "Want FREE XBOX 360/PS3/Wii games, Check out my blog: http://myblog.myblog.com or sign up here: 'Referral Link'."
Once you got mad followers, just post your ref link/blog. I've gotten several refs from this tactic. This tactic is can't be overused, because there are always new people joining on twitter. If you do get banned, just make a new account .
