Gotta hack it a little if you want greater reach without all the time investment. What I did is I made a few accounts centered around various niches like cars, fake egirl, comedic and totally legit jew, etc. I fed each one links to various niche specific accounts and had them each continuously follow people that follow those twitter handles. They'd keep track of those follows for some period of time... I don't remember how long I had it set to, something like a week, and if they had not followed back by the end of that period, the bots would unfollow those accounts (otherwise, they'd end up following something like 50k people while only having 5k followers.)
You can hack it further by following follow-back bots or searching for accounts that tweet something of that sort, but those are almost exclusively bots. They're good for padding your numbers, but nobody is reading their feed.
Also, make sure there is some randomness to all of the bot's activities, and make them sleep for at least 8 hours per day on a semi-regular schedule. I had a handful of bots running following that formula, and they each ended up with around 3-5k followers after the first month. Some of their content was beginning to go viral here and there at that stage. I'm sure they'd accumulate 50-100k followers pretty easily over the course of a year or so given quality content sources to tap into.
I used mainly python with the selenium library to interact with twitter through a web browser. There is some off-the-shelf software available capable of all of this stuff, like tweetattacks.
