When it comes to Twitter, subscribers or "followers" are your key to building popularity. And popularity is a fundamental and a very important concept to grab hold of. The idea is that by following someone, they'll agree to follow you back.
The following are other ideas which can help with Twitter followers:
1) Connect your blog or social network site to your profile.
By adding a link to each of your social media profiles to your Twitter profile,
and vice versa, you are making 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 social networking page, or other members of your social network
could recommend your blog. Word of mouth can go a long way, especially in the
world of social networking. Although you may not get every person who hears of
you on your Twitter page, you can easily raise the number with a few referrals
from friends.
3) Purchase banner ads which in turn can be linked to your
profile. This way, when your website banner ads are clicked on, the link is
automatically established to your Twitter page. This will prevent anyone having
to search far and wide in order to find you.
4) Use usernames and avatars which match either your
business or other social networking sites. When you sign up for your Twitter
account, use the same name you have on other social network sites. If this name
isn't available, try to use something as similar as possible. You can use the
same avatar as well. Anyone who is familiar with you from another site will
notice when you send out a tweet.
5) Avoid spamming your Twitter. If you constantly drop in
silly and unproductive comments several times a day, people won't take you
seriously for long. Make sure you are adding something of value when you post.
While it's fine to post your own URL, joining into conversations will show
people you are approachable.
6) Asking questions will show people you are not only
looking for input, but you don't consider yourself a guru either. Who knows -
this may result in not only receiving an answer to your question, but with
reciprocal following as well.
7) Be careful when posting URLs in Twitter. If the link is
too long, it will be shortened with tinyurl. If this happens, it becomes
impossible to see the source link to figure out what the page is before
clicking through. Before you post any links, it's recommended you write a short
description or the title of the page.
8) Follow people from within your personal 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) The difference between bios and backgrounds is easy. Bios
on Twitter are short and to the point, unlike an About Me page found on most
blogs. People will get to know you from how and what you tweet, not from a
novel written in your bio section.
10) If at first you don't succeed, try again. The most
experienced in the internet world make mistakes sometimes. 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.
