Getting Twitter Followers

If you have a social media marketing campaign, having a Twitter account is a must to help interact with others and get your name out there. Although the character limit can be restricting, Twitter is a very popular way for marketers to interact with their customers/clients. However, to help get your brand known, here are 10 tips on how to get people to follow you on Twitter:

1. Tweet Often.

In order to keep people interested and wanting more, you need to Tweet consistently. The best time to Tweet is during weekdays, and you should Tweet at least once a day. However, if you have people asking questions or interacting with you, it is important to respond to them whenever you can.

2. Retweet Often.

Aside from providing your own content, take the time to retweet posts from other people. People will be more likely to follow you if they see that you care about things outside of yourself as well. If you have room, it is especially helpful to add a comment to each retweet to make it more personal.

3. Repeat Popular Tweets.

If you have an especially popular Tweet, you may want to retweet it again within 8 to 12 hours. By doing so, you will be able to reach more people that may have only just reached their computers.

4.Search Through And Use Hashtags.

Hashtags are used in posts to help people find other posts of similar interest. By using hashtags in your posts, you will increase your visibility and connect with a broader audience. You can also look under “Trends” to what hashtags are trending and make posts using them as well.

5. Follow Other People In The Industry.

If you want to network and have access to good content to share with your followers, you need to make an effort to follow people in the industry. If you can get big-name celebrities to Tweet you or follow you, you are almost guaranteed to pick up some new followers. The “Who to Follow” feature, as well as various auto-follow tools, can help make finding other people easier.

6. Follow Your Followers.

Remember to nurture your relationship with your followers by following them back. Once you follow them, be sure to check out their profiles so that you will get to know them. Even just following your followers can be enough to make them feel more loyal to you.

7. Personally Thank Everyone That Follows You.

If you can, it is recommended to personalize a “thank you” Tweet for people that follow you. If you also follow them in return, you can send a direct message.

8. Take Part In “Follow Friday” Days.

Every Friday, many users post lists of people to follow using the “#FF” hashtag. Each Friday, take note of who your followers or industry leaders are recommending and follow them. You may also be included in other people’s “#FF” lists as well, which will help get people to follow you.

9. Fill Out Your Profile.

It is crucial to fill out your profile and choose a catchy profile and header images for your Twitter account. By filling out the profile with your bio, location, and website, people will be more likely to follow you. By filling out your bio, you can also use keywords to be categorized and discovered. It is especially helpful if you can “verify” your account because when people see the blue icon with a checkmark, they know you are legitimate.

10. Use The “Follow Me On Twitter” Link.

If you want to get more people to follow you on Twitter, you need to spread the word. You can use the “Follow Me on Twitter” links easily through other social media platforms, websites, email signatures, and more.
