Service Description
Followe.rs is a service that helps marketers build more followers and make more money from Twitter. The service takes advantage of Twitter’s reciprocal system in which people who you follow are more likely to follow you. The system has a money making element built into it in the form of affiliate commissions.
Detailed Overview
Twitter is a great way to find prospects interested in what you have to say and sell. One thing that’s been true about Twitter is that if you follow people, the more likely they are to follow you. It’s kind of a “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” mindset. The problem lies in getting followers that are targeted prospects.
What Followe.rs does is automatically start following targeted Twitter users. Rather than following just anybody, Followe.rs helps you only follow people who are related to your market by analyzing their tweets and profile. This way you won’t be following any random Twitter user.
The system then automatically sends 1 of 100 varations of messages that is designed to get them to sign up to the Followe.rs system. Luckily, the creators of the service were smart enough to make create messages that are not pitches, but messages that are non-threatening.
In the message, the link to the Followe.rs services contains your affiliate link. You earn $10 a month for every person that decides to sign up to the service. Furthermore, the messages really create intrigue and stir the curiosity of readers and get them to check out the site.
As you can see, it’s basically a viral marketing model with an affiliate income built into it. I think that the double benefit of this other than affiliate earnings is the fact that you are building a targeted list of Twitter users. You can use this platform to build relationships and sell your products.
The one issue behind this concept is the issue of spam. Sure it sends out different variations of messages but what about the rate of how many people you follow. The good thing about Followe.rs is that there is cap of 20 people per day you can follow. This starts to increase as soon as you get more followers. That way you are not flagged for spam by Twitter.
Reputation
Although this system is new, it simply works. People have had success using it to increase their followers and make side affiliate income from Followe.rs. You have to remember that not all users will decide to follow you. I wish there was a function that allowed you to automatically unfollow the people who haven’t reciprocated. I also like that this service has filters on how many people you follow per day and who to follow. I recommend you give this service a go.
Domain "Whois"

Followe. rs scam ?
I tried the full version and supposedly had several thousands of followers. But as with most online (businesses) it didn't deliver what it says it will. My opinion is it's just a way to get your hard earned cash. BTW I used the full service for 4 months and made not a single dime from it. So yes it's useless and does not deliver as it says.

Didn't come close to meeting my expectations
I signed up for this at the beginning of 2010. Marketing with a Twitter account was always something that I wanted to try out for the longest, so I signed up for their trial. The Followe.rs tool is very convenient. You have the option of turning all of the posts you make into automated ones, which can save you a lot of time in the future. I was able to get a few followers but none of them ever signed up under me. I had to stop just before the trial ended because I knew I wouldn't be able to break even with this. $37 a month is a lot of money to be spending every month on something that doesn't work for you.
I'm pretty sure this system has the potential of working if you put in a lot of time, effort and unfortunately, money. You should give Followe.rs a try, but do the trial first, as the regular monthly price is very expensive.

I tried this program
I signed up for this just a few weeks ago, did the $1 trial period. I did get 57 followers in just a short time and I promoted it on every traffic site I belong to with no luck. It is a good concept in marketing, but it is like every other program out there you have to get people to join to make money. Some things work for some people and some things don’t. Unfortunately this did not work for me so I will keep using my FREE program that works just as good for getting followers.

Not for me, I guess
I tried Followe.rs a few months back, with its $1 trial version hoping to get more followers. I did get a few, so I upgraded for a month, then canceled it altogether. Yes, I did get a desirable amount of followers within that month, but the $37 monthly fee is hard to recover even if you put your twitter account on auto pilot. I reverted back to my previous twitter program which cost less and generated more income.
In the end, I didn’t recover my investment so I decided to cancel. Some followers were retained but most unfollowed me after my cancellation. I was expecting that though.

Received Few Followers
I joined Followe.rs about 4 months ago because I wanted to increase my followers on Twitter. I was a free member at first and have seen the potential of gaining more followers with signing up for trial offers of $1. The trial offer gives you a certain amount of time to make up your mind or they charge you $37 per month. I also wanted to make money with the referral program as well, so I started posting links everywhere I could. In that time frame, I only had received 3 followers. I had put in so much work for only 3 followers and I realized it was going to take a long time to get to how many followers I wanted so I canceled. I am glad I did.

Didn't get any results, waste of money
Followe.rs is a program that helps you get followers for your Twitter profile. I was looking into Twitter for marketing, and I needed a fully automated tool to get me followers. I was directed to followe.rs and signed up for their service for $37 per month. This tool can automate your posts which is amazing! I can post interesting tweets, as well as advertisements on my account automatically. The only problem, this tool doesn’t actually work very well. I got few followers, and most of my tweets got deleted for spamming. I didn’t see any results at all from this program. This was a huge letdown for me. I had thought that this program would help me, but in the end it did nothing for me, and almost ended up hurting me in the end. I recommend finding a different program rather than this one because it just doesn’t help out that much. It might be worth it to try out the free trial though, but paying for this service is a waste of money.

Followe. rs IS A GO! GO! GO!
What struck me the most was the PROFESSIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE! I went for the full automation option immediately! If Twitter is your main communication tool, like it is for me, then DO NOT HESITATE AT ALL! Frankly, if your time tweeting is not worth more than $37/month, then so be it!
I have not cut down my tweeting ONE BIT since I got this, but it sure feels nice to have a "BUDDY" tweeting for you on autopilot!
Again, if all you do is read the terms of service, you will have benefited GREATLY!
PS There is NO FINE PRINT! Just CRYSTAL clear, honest sentences, in large type! That, ladies & gentlemen, is what won me over. PLUS, the FAVORABLE REVIEW by the guys who run this website! The fact that it was recommended on this site, is enough for me.
This is one of those things that you keep for life, if you are at all serious about your internet presence.
Thanx for the read ;-)

Good, But Not Good Enough!
I should have known when I saw the guy from The Spider Web Marketing System promoting this thing! But hey, it's Twitter, so I gave it a shot! A huge let down; I got the same exact results as I got with Twitter List Builder, few to no targeted followers and a bunch of spam followers that ended up being deleted! Of course, I wasn't going to upgrade, why? To end up paying for spammed and deleted followers! I'm beginning to think all of these marketing systems made for Twitter and other Social Networking sites are crap, just follow people and they'll follow you back! The same concept before all of this super technology started, just add a friend and they'll do the same; if they don't, somebody else will!
Other than that, no recommendations from me. If you join, just don't upgrade and enjoy the fact you will get followers, a few decent followers, without doing too much!

Not sure it's as good as it claims to be for making money with twitter
I'm always looking for more twitter followers like the next person. I originally signed up for the $1 free trial but reverted back to the free version before my $37 monthly fee was due.
While the program is helping to give me more followers, I was disappointed with the rate in which it was able to introduce others that would be paying upgraded members. I wasn't looking for a bunch of followers quickly but I was under the impression that the system would at least get a free trial member under me in 14 days, regardless of if they continued with the regular subscription. It failed to do that.
This service appears good for picking up additional quality twitter fans but as far as from the stand point of being a profitable business for making money with twitter, my experience showed me it was not going to workout to well. Maybe those that go with the monthly fee and stay upgraded paid members longer could get better results, but I found the conversion or potential conversion to paid members lacking.
It's worth joining at the free level for the purpose of getting free followers on autopilot.
