Summary
Every day there are more and more "get followers" quick schemes floating around Twitter. We see them tweeted in our friends' feeds, we see them on Twitter-based websites; in fact, we see them just about anywhere that there's a place to advertise them.

The thing is, as the more astute of you may already have guessed, those "get followers fast" schemes tend to work out about as well as those "get rich quick" schemes do - because at their core, they're really not very different.

Ask yourself a very basic, simple, common-sense question. If get-rich quick schemes worked, why would the person selling them be selling them, instead of just using them him/herself? The same principle applies to Twitter followers. If there's a quick way to get lots of high-quality followers, why would anyone share it, instead of just using it themselves? There's no profit in sharing the technique - unless, of course, they're selling it, which should make you realize that the followers they're selling aren't likely to be high-quality.
