Why is it so important to have followers on Twitter? This is the question that I have asked myself the same question for quite some time. What is the purpose of having a long list of followers on Twitter, what good will it do? And how the heck can I increase my Twitter followers? All of these questions are very common and are mostly asked by users or business owners who want to use Twitter as a marketing platform. Here are some tips on how to quickly gain Twitter followers.
Tweet It Back
Retweeting other people’s tweets is the best way to gain more followers, so if you like someone’s tweet, retweet on your profile. Twitter is basically a type of pay-in-advance platform, so once you start re-tweeting people’s stuff, you’ll see new followers.
Be social
The best way to gain more followers on Twitter is by using the @ symbol, for example @ Mr. Bean. The more you use this symbol, the more interaction you will get in your tweets and people will follow you. This includes the big names on Twitter, this means that if you @ mention a celebrity, they will respond to you, because Twitter is about being public. Everything is seen and retweeted on Twitter.
Use trending topics
Twitter makes it easy to find trends and topics for the day, the week, the month, or even the year. Take advantage of this and make use of hashtags.
Find the sweet spot
By finding the sweet spot, I mean, try to find the best time to post your tweets. Test the responses in your tweet, for example the tweet you posted in the morning has fewer responses than the tweet you posted after dinner. Depending on the age group of your followers and the nature of your tweets, you can judge when it is best to post a tweet to get more responses and followers.
Create your own special hashtag
Make your own special hashtag and Tweet it often, you never know when someone might see it and start using it and one day when you see trending hashtags, your hashtag is among the trending ones.
Round followers for Twitter
If you are a blogger and you have a blog, put a disclaimer and suggest to your followers that they also follow you on Twitter. This will also help you gain new followers.
