How to get more followers on Twitter

November 2nd, 2008 Posted in Internet Marketing, Twitter

Twitter.com is the most popular microblogging service.  It is a great way to stay in touch with people on the web that have a similar interest has you own.   Plus you just might make a few new friends.

The first step is to signup for Twitter.   Most people will choose to use their real name as their nickname or some other variation.  This can help establish yourself as an expert in your niche.  Next fill out your profile.  It is best to complete your profile, with a picture, before you start following other people.  This will make it more likely that someone will follow you back.

Once you have your profile complete it is time to start following.   Just go to the search function and search on a topic of interest.   Browse a couple of the users to get familiar with their interests.  When you find someone of interest, just click the follow button.  Their updates or “tweets” as they are known in the Twitter world, will start showing up on your home page.

You can also find an authority in your niche and start following their followers.  This way you know that they are interested in similar topics.  Start watching the tweets and get a feel for some of the topics discussed.  Reply to a few and get involved in the conversation.  This will go a long way in attracting followers.
