Dramatically Increase Your Twitter Following with These 5 Tips

 

Unless you are a celebrity like Katy Perry or Barack Obama, you’re going to have to work hard to build your initial following on Twitter. Rather than making slow-and-steady progress, you need to treat your Twitter account as a priority for a couple of months and create lots of content. Studies have shown that the more you tweet, the quicker you can build your followers. 

To help you dramatically increase your Twitter following, here are five methods you can try. 

• Utilize Your LinkedIn and Email Connections

Studies have shown that you are more likely to be followed by someone that you already know. One easy way to do this is by finding your LinkedIn connections on Twitter and following them. While Twitter doesn’t have a way to do this, you can export your contacts into a .CSV file and upload them to your email account contacts. From there you can import your email contact into Twitter. 

• Schedule Your Tweets

There are several free and low-cost tools that you can use to schedule your tweets. Using tools like Hootsuite, save you time and ensure that you are tweeting on a regular basis. When you post content on a regular basis, you tend to see more engagement and have more followers.

• Tweet Inspirational Quotes

Quotes tend to see more significant engagement on Twitter because people enjoy reading them and sharing them with their friends and followers. You can use a free app like Forismatic, to receive a wide variety of inspiring quotes that you can post to Twitter instantly. Along with increasing engagement, this will also save you time. 

• Join a Twitter Chat

Groups within various industries get together on Twitter every week to talk about multiple topics. When you join these chats and engage with others in your industry, you are given the opportunity to meet new people in your industry, play the role of an industry expert, and gain valuable information.

• Respond to People

Consider the following users who engage in the same posts that you do. When you comment on, favourite, or retweet a post on Twitter, it will show other users that you are interested in the same type of content, making them more inclined to follow you. 

Using Twitter for your small business will help to bring in new customers. Users are more likely to buy from brands that they follow on Twitter, making it a powerful tool to help grow your business. Use these tips to increase your followers and grow your business.

How to Build Your Brand on Twitter

Optimize Your Twitter Bio

To get the most out of Twitter, you need to make sure that your company voice and identity are branded and optimized. This means that your bio needs to tell people who you are and include a link to your landing page or website. It is also essential that you keep a consistent tone with all of your Tweets so that people can clearly understand who you are and what your business does.

Interact with Your Industry Influencers

As you begin to post to Twitter, find out who the experts and influencers are in your industry and interact with them regularly. You can use Twitter search or similar tools to find like-minded customers and influencers by searching the keywords that are related to your industry. Once you discover the right people, follow them and interact with them on a daily basis.

Tweet Regularly

One sign of an active and healthy profile is regular tweeting. If you are only tweeting once a week, or once a month people are going to forget about you and your business. To stay on the top of your audience’s mind on a consistent basis, you need to send out daily postings. The information you tweet needs to be useful and relevant that your followers will read, click on, and retweet. 

Offer Discounts to Twitter Followers

Run Twitter contests to get your followers engaged with your business. You can give a specific number of people who retweet your posts special discounts off your products or services or hold a random drawing based on the people that upload pictures of them using your product or visiting your store.  

Integrate it With Your Other Marketing Efforts

Twitter will become much more useful for your business if you integrate it with your other marketing activities. By engaging your audience in more than one marketing effort, you are increasing your reach and followers.

Like all the other social media platforms, the more effort you put into your marketing efforts, the higher the chances of you finding success. These simple tips can help you maximize your marketing efforts on Twitter to build your brand and increase your followers.
