You may think it’s impossible to connect with influential people in your world. You know, the people who everyone respects and admire. Those who can help your career or just be great to know.
A Strategy
At first, you need to decide whose attention you want to attract. It might be influential people you admire, or your favourite autors, or bloggers. Then you want to Google their latest interviews and pick one. Next step is to look trough the interview for a great quote. Then you should paste that quote into a pablo- a tool that allows you to overlay text onto pictures. It is very easy to use. After you download it, you want to post it on twitter and don’t forget to add the username of the person you’re quoting.

Why does this work?
Think about it: wouldn’t it be flattering if someone made a personalized “quotable” about you? Exactly! After you post such thing it is not guaranteed this person will follow you immediately. Although, he or she will definitely retweet your post. And that’s where you’ll get few more followers. So, if a plan doesn’t work completely – it still has it’s benefits. And eventually this is pretty valuable content for your feed that doesn’t involve links which most people just ignore.
