When it comes to Twitter, followers are the key to building your popularity. And popularity is a fundamental concept of Twitter. The idea is that by following someone, they will agree to follow you back. Here are some ideas that can help you get more Twitter followers:
1. Connect your blog or other social network sites to your Twitter profile – By adding a link to each of your social media profiles to your Twitter profile (and vice versa), you make sure everyone you know is able to reach you in all the places they have accounts as well.
2. Ask others to recommend your profile – A blog reader could recommend your Twitter account, or other members of Twitter could recommend your blog. Word of mouth can go a long way, especially in the world of social networking.
3. Purchase banner ads that link to your profile – When users click on your company’s banner ad, they are taken directly to your Twitter page. This prevents users from searching far and wide to find you.
4. Use the same usernames and avatars across all social media sites – On Twitter, create a username that matches the name you use on other social media sites. If that name isn’t available, try to use something as similar as possible. Use the same avatar (profile picture) as well. Anyone who is familiar with you from another site will recognize your tweets thanks to your username and avatar.
5. Avoid spamming your followers – If you constantly tweet silly and unproductive comments several times a day, people won’t take you seriously for long. Make sure you add something of value when you tweet. While it’s fine to post about your own company or website, joining in other conversations will show people you are approachable and knowledgeable.
6. Ask questions – This will show people that not only are you looking for input, but you don’t consider yourself a guru either. Besides receiving an answer to your question, you may enjoy reciprocal followings as well.
7. Be careful when posting URLs – If the link is too long, it will be shortened automatically. If this happens, it becomes impossible to see the source link. Users will not know what the page is before they click through. When you tweet links, include a short description or the title of the page.
8. Follow people in your niche – Not only will you be able to understand what they are talking about, but you may be able to bounce some ideas off them when you get stuck. Having similar concerns and experiences means they are more likely to follow you as well.
9. Write a brief bio – Bios on Twitter are short and to the point, unlike an “about me” page on blogs and websites. People will get to know you from what you tweet, not from a novel written in your bio section.
10. If at first you don’t succeed, try again – Even the most experienced and savvy internet users make mistakes. It’s part of life. If you find you have made a mistake in one of your tweets, fix it. If you find you have chosen the wrong person to follow, stop following them.
Take the time to work out the kinks on your Twitter page, and you will see how quickly everything else will fall into place.
