GROWINGYOURTWITTERFOLLOWERS?
Follow the followers of those who are in your target market. They are more
likely to follow back.
Follow the people who bring value to your expertise and/or share it and
engage regularly.
Focus on building relationships and adding value.
To get more followers on Twitter, start following others and engage with
them.
Twitter chats are my best tip for growing your followers and creating an
online community.
Don’t focus on the quantity of followers, but the quality. Make genuine
connections, invest your time in them.
How to grow your Twitter following - use Twitter lists - be a ‘leader’ in your
expertise/topic.
Be human, constantly engage with your niche without being a pushy
salesman douche.
You must engage with your audience in a positive way and uplift them.
More followers is the by-product of solid tweets that have value. Tweet
selflessly and they will come.
Be a strong, authentic influencer who genuinely helps others to improve
their lives.
Balance between following your target audience, retweeting, providing
valuable content and most importantly - engage Twitter chats!
Follow people in your industry, take part in Twitter chats, be active with
about 15 tweets a day and ‘look’ real?! LOL
Growing a following is not as important as conversations and helping. You
will get followers if people find value.
Be helpful and initiate meaningful conversation.
Join #viralchat - you can meet so many awesome people here you can
follow.
Take a sincere interest in people, and engage.
ENGAGE!! Contribute and be a cheerleader! Have an answer to “Who did I
help today?” The rest will come.
For follower building, my numbers exploded when I got into chats. Few
bots get into chats. Rumor is most chatters are real.
Listen to your audience and provide valuable content. Be gracious,
respond, engage.
Grow your followers by engaging with your audience / connections online
and offline. Promote yourself and share ideas.
Engage - It is NOT just for Trekkies anymore!
Chat with people and be SOCIAL!
Acknowledging people is always good, online or offline.
Keep a vigilant eye and maintain a steadfast bearing with those you can
learn from. Choose a mentor.
First, quality content (folks should learn something, get something when
following). Then be very active (post frequently).
Most importantly we need to remember that building relationships don’t
happen overnight. You need to take your time.
I use hashtags and K.I.S.S. (keep it short & simple) it with a visual. Chats
really boost my followers and engagement.
Engage, interact, converse, provide value, find what catches your attention
and participate. Join chat events.
I’ve found a healthy mix of #followbacks, retweeting others and just
making connections with others is the best method.
Share awesome content and be REAL. Interact with others you’d like to
meet in person. Thank your peeps for engaging!
People also follow you when they know you are tweeting about something
specific. Give them that reason, and they will follow.
Number 1 is engage and don’t just promote. Provide Value.
Engage. Engage. Engage.
Join some Twitter chats and engage with followers are my best tips for
growing a following on Twitter.
Engagement and content - with honor - honesty and sincerity... Don’t just
shout - be there to help too.
