The young fans "Haley" follows get excited when they see the verified mark. Many respond to her. Some say they checked out her music and liked it. If she would just respond to the latter thanking them they would become huge advocates for her.
With some new zealots, her fandom could grow exponentially.
In 2010, Lady Gaga became Queen of Twitter with 5.7M followers. Today, she has 28M and they launched a social network last month devoted to her (LittleMonsters.com). Justin Bieber has 26.5M followers on Twitter.
Every day I reach out to people on Twitter that they have followed to point them in the direction of Haley's album or videos of her live performances. I also make posts here. I didn't sign a contract or verbally agree to spend time in that arena. I do it because I want to see her be successful. But I'm just one person. And if she's not gong to make an active effort to build her fan base, I'm wondering why I even bother.
