Social Media: Responding to Notifications

My Town Tutors is a website that connects parents with teachers who tutor. One of our teachers made $5,000 last year tutoring.
It is FREE for parents to search for a teacher in their area. Please help us find ONE MORE teacher who tutors!

Twitter is a 2-way street. It is important to connect with other accounts and interact appropriately. It is also critical to develop strong relationships with accounts with similar interests.
My Town Tutors is national directory of teachers who tutor. We feel teachers are great tutors. We are looking to connect with teachers and parents so we can share our message.
We also are aggressively following with @mytowntutorsNY looking to connect with 1,000 followers in 100 days, so many of the accounts following us are associated with social media and SEO. Some have 6 figure followers, we hope some of their followers are teachers and parents.
Below is snap shot of how we have respond to “notifications” based on the following:

1. Follows: The big question is “To Follow or to Not Follow?” Some factors we consider are interests (teachers, parents, education), following ratio, guest blog candidates, and twitter profile. This method works for us. We take a quick look, decide, then respond with a welcome. We do not follow accounts not in English.
2. The Welcome: Our replies show our followers we are real and not a robot. We do schedule quite a bit of tweets with twuffer , but we also interact often. We will respond to most followers with a variety of tweets ranging from “Welcome!” to “You must follow this account! Great for #teachers #moms #dads #NYC!” You can see each tweet below. With each tweet, we try to remember the 5 Goals of a Tweet!

Below are the interactions.
