How to Get More Twitter Followers
Aug

Twitter is a free social media tool that you can use to drive traffic to your website. Here are five things you can do to get more followers:

  1. Follow other people. Twitter etiquette holds that if someone follows you, you will, in turn, follow them; not everyone does this of course, but it’s one strategy for getting followers. If you don’t know who to follow, check out businesses similar to you to see what they’re doing.
  2. Be interesting. Tweet compelling stuff and the followers will come. Link to images regularly – Twitter now allows you to do that right as you compose your tweet!
  3. Promote your page. Add your Twitter page to your LinkedIn profile and Facebook page. Make sure a Twitter icon that links to your page is in your website header. If you’re not already posting status updates on LinkedIn, connect LinkedIn to Twitter so your tweets show up on LinkedIn – then you reach all your connections there, too.
  4. Engage others. Retweeting (RT) and mentioning (@) other people in your tweets will include you on their Twitter feed, gaining more visibility to their followers. Not sure how to format your tweet given all the @’s and #’s you see? Find someone who tweets a ton and reference what they’re doing. That’s the easiest way to learn.
  5. Make time. Set aside an hour a week for Twitter updates and consider it like a networking event you’d attend (as in, it’s important and don’t cut that hour short). Search for more followers and check out what people similar to you are doing to keep your inspiration flowing.
