How to Increase Twitter Followers

By Roberto Paes


If it was possible to increase twitter followers by reading a book or an article, everybody would have tons of followers. What is however possible is to provide a basic understanding of what twitter is, and what needs to be done to gain more followers. Twitter is not an ordinary social network, but an extraordinary invention for communication - like the telephone and email.

As a result, twitter is not just a place to dump information like a website, and not even just a place for web 2.0 type interaction. It is important to think of it as a gigantic repository of information - a form of web 3.0 or what is known as the semantic web. Just remember that twitter is a deep pool that is constantly being replenished and used by millions of users.

This is why it is important to be a part of this give and take, and not just consider it as an outlet for press releases or announcements. Building a following requires taking care of followers and responding to all @mentions. Take part in sector specific and twitter-wide memes such as Follow Friday.

It is also important to understand where the development of twitter is leading to. This would be in two parts - one is location-based mobile applications and the second one is instant search. Both offer excellent opportunities to increase followers.

By using smart phones and location based applications to find targeted followers, the impact and usefulness of having followers can go up a lot. It leads to common interests, shared concern for the same issues and an ability to easily hook up or contact people outside the net, in the real world. It helps to establish the account as an expert or well-known person/company in said region.

The other part involves a combination of search and keyword optimized tweets. All major search engines include tweets in instant search results, so a timely tweet with the right keywords can attract a huge amount of search traffic. It will push the follower count up very quickly.

Another easy way is to buy followers. This can be done by paying a marketing company to run promotions, contests, etc., where people are asked to follow the account in order to be in with a chance to win. There are others who will simply help with the tweets and the social interaction and provide the followers. End of the day, it is the traffic and impact that matters, regardless of the means used to increase twitter followers.
