8 Ways to Get More Followers on Twitter
Thursday, November 20th, 2008I’m continuing with my recent theme of Twitter-related posts by trying to answer the burning question “What can I do to get more followers on Twitter?” It’s a question I’ve heard a number of times, and it’s worth looking at deeper. After all, the more followers you can get, the more exposure your brand will have.
So, how can you generate a larger base of followers? Here are 8 tips to help you get started.
1. Focus on Tweeple Retention- Before you begin trying to acquire new followers, you need to focus on keeping the ones you already have. Because if you’re like me, you go through the list of people you’re following regularly to see if there is anyone you can weed out. Make sure you’re not one of those people getting dropped by being a valuable member of the community. Engage with your followers, and discuss topics that are interesting to them.
2. Promote Your Twitter Page on Your Website- One way to get more attention for your Twitter profile is to treat it the way you would any other website. You have to promote it. The first step is to link to it from your website and blog. A nice sidebar with a button saying something like “Follow me on Twitter” is an effective way to get visitors from your website to your Twitter profile.
