Default Increasing the number of followers on Twitter

Not sure if this is the right section to ask this but any tips on how to increase the number of followers on Twitter?

I've had limited success on my Twitter accounts as I've gained a good amount of followers but it has taken too long.. Any tips on how this can be done quicker? Thanks in advance for your help!

There are a few things I have tried in the past.

1. Strategically choosing who you follow in order to gain other followers
2. Competitions to promote following your business
3. Following local businesses that are also using the service
4. Tweet about PR activity and utilise media twitter account names within the tweets (as these also normally have a high following)

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi, I've moved your topic to the Social Media Forum where people who are interested in this subject can answer you better.

There is a couple of things I know that can help you get more followers:
1. Put your twitter link on your website.
2. Automatically post your blog posts to twitter using twitterfeed.com : feed your blog to twitter
3. Automatically post your favourite blogger's posts to your twitter using twitterfeed.com : feed your blog to twitter

Good luck!

Please read the Rules

I wrote this post on my website and I'd like to share it here for you

If you like this post be sure to follow my twitter <removed link>

If used correctly Twitter is a GREAT way to find potential clients and fans. I believe Twitter is one of the most powerful social sites out there. Here are 10 tips on how to work twitter to YOUR advantage.

1 Follow the Followers of people that are like you - This is key. For example if you are a cheese company - follow the followers of other cheese company's or any twitter account that has anything to do with cheese. These micro niche followers will be more responsive to what you are tweeting about. Go Try it if you like Type in some people/companies that are like you in your twitter search engine and start following their followers.

2 When first opening an account make your tweets fun - tweet jokes, quotes and facts etc DO NOT SPAM - Be creative try to relate this information to what YOU are about.

3 Also once you get a bunch of followers be sure to keep your tweets fun and entertaining. If you spam them a lot they will quickly unfollow you. Yes there is nothing wrong with sometimes tweeting call of action tweets - A call to action for example would be tweeting "check my site out" but try to do it creatively - for example this post. Instead of me writing check out my blog post I would write Here are some tips and tricks on how to build your twitter followers check it out today then I'd put a link to this post.

4 Use sites like yesfollow, twitter karma and Twellow - They will make life a lot easier for you

5 Be sure to add your URL to your profile. People will check out your website if they like what you are tweeting about.

6 Check your @Mentions Tab often. When people RETWEET you - Retweet them back and reply with a thank you - Try interacting as much as possible

7 BE SOCIAL - When people write to you write back. I realize how time consuming social sites can be. It's best to work them on a social level on break times or when you are more relaxed. BUT try to Tweet at least 3-5 times a day at different times. Also if you can use sites to trigger your tweets it will make your life a lot easier . I will have a blog post all about sites that can help you control your social sites.

8 Try to check out your followers at least once a day and follow the followers that are in your niche or are real people. I try not to follow spammers or company's that have nothing to do with what I'm doing - They are usually there to spam and they usually don't have any interest in what you are talking about.

9 Use hash symbols # to find people in your niche. For example if you are a company that sells cheese. put #cheese in your twitter search engine and the people that put #cheese in there comments will pop up - Then if you are a cheese company follow those people. These people are gold to the cheese industry- Be sure to read what they wrote before you follow them - They could also be cheese haters lol Try it with your Niche - This can be addictive and a lot of fun

10 Now Post you twitter tip - If you have a tip that has helped you please comment.

I realize there are a billion other tips and tricks for twitter but I added the few that help me. Please check out my other services HERE

Thank you for reading and please follow me on twitter and I will follow you back <Removed link>

Strategically follow those who would be mutually beneficial for both of you. Direct relevant @ tweets to those and get them to follow you back.

If you don't care about targeted followers and are just looking to increase your over all numbers you could try one of the many gigs on fiverr.com. For $5 you can potentially get thousands of followers. The down side is that they are not that targeted. But as I said it will boost your numbers.
