There are different ways to find your following.
1. The simplest way is just scrolling on your twitter timeline and find tweets that you like or are interested in. You can click on the user’s profile and follow him or her. Most people follow back.
2. Then you can also search for hashtags and find people there. For example, if you’re an author, search one of these hashtags: #writers #authors #writerscommunity. If you have a website about dog accessories and you want to connect with likeminded people, use hashtags such as #dogs #dogsoftwitter #pets #doglovers #doglife, and so on.
Regardless of the niche you’re in, you can type in the corresponding hashtag in the search bar.
3. Sometimes there are “lifts”. Those are tweets that lift others up.
Check if there are any lifts. Most of the lifts I have seen are writer’s lifts and bloggers lifts. They encourage you to share links to your website, book(s), blogs, etc, or you can also simply introduce yourself.
Just make sure you are in the right “lift”. For example, don’t promote your website on CBD products in a fantasy/horror writer’s lift. Many people want to engage on Twitter and do not want to see only advertisements in their feed. If you want to share your website, regardless the niche, then I would recommend checking if there is a Blogger’s lift.
Below you can see replies to this blogger's lift. I erased names and websites.
This blog is a God-sent to my inner dreams.
For a long time I have been, not only curious, but really wanting to open a Twitter account, and I actually attempted. But I could not follow. I could not understand what benefits there are to have twitter account.
I will come to you one day soon, and be your student, if that is OK with you. I will follow the steps you mentioned here but when I get stuck, I will have to bother you...
Thank you very much for this valuable tutorial.
God bless you more,

Along with Pinterest, these are two areas I will be moving into over the next few months.
I have bookmarked for when I begin in earnest.
I certainly didn't realise there was so much you could do with it. Awesome and thank you again.
