Twitter is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful tools for bringing eyeballs to your blog. On top of that, it’s also becoming one of the best tools for bringing high-quality niche eyeballs to your blog.

If you’re a niche blogger, Twitter currently presents a fantastic opportunity to cultivate a highly targeted audience of followers who are interested in not only what you’re tweeting about, but also what you’re blogging about.

By targeting and acquiring followers in your niche, you will be bringing users to your Twitter profile who are far more likely to check out your blog.

So what is a high-quality, niche Twitter follower? Well for our definition we will say it is someone in your niche with a large “Twitter footprint” and who is an established authority that people trust.
