4 Ways To Attract Twitter Followers
Posted on 13. Jan, 2010 by Will in Blog, Professional, twitter
1. Get Listed- Unless your famous (which contrary to your own beliefs, you’re not) chances of getting listed on Twitter’s suggested user list when a new account is created, but Twitter has now allowed users to create their own lists which allows someone to group people they are following by a common theme. For example: “Indianapolis Business”, “Marketing People”, “Inspirational”, or “Celebrities”. The more lists you’re on, the easier it will be for others to find you.
2. Follow Others- When you follow people, chances are they’ll follow you back. Use this advice with caution because if you follow 2,000 people and only 4 people are following you back, you’ll look like a spammer making it harder for new people to want to follow you. My advice is to try to have an even number of followers for the amount of people you are currently following. If you stumble on a gold mine of people you’d like to follow, only follow 25-50 new people at a time.
3. Talk to People- Twitter posts are public, so the more active you are, the better your chances of being seen by others. Look for users with common interests and post a message directed towards them. If someone talks to you, talk back. When you converse with someone, they’ll likely want to follow you, unless you made them mad.
4. Retweet- The lazy approach to becoming “popular” is to retweet other users when they say something clever or important. Find a good message, send it to your followers with a reference to the original author (do this by typing RT and then the @ symbol followed directly by the person’s username. Example: RT @willhardison This blog post is great!) The more times your retweet gets retweeted, the better off you are. Confusing, but trust me, it’s a good thing.
