Re-following Strategy Checklist

1. Dress Your Profile

Make your twitter profile page presentable. The very least it should have is an inviting avatar and description about your site.

2. Seed your profile

Fill your profile page with status updates, links and retweets that would make others want to follow you. Make it relevant, interesting and true to what your business and Twitter persona will be. Users are unlikely to follow empty accounts.
