How To Increase Your Twitter Followers

Many people see Twitter as a marketing tool while others use it for social interaction. What ever you use it for, this page will show you how to get more followers, and do so without buying software, a database or paying someone else!

Its important however you start with the right mindset, Its not what you Tweet, but who you are! Anyone can build a good following, but to get past 10,000 followers for example takes a lot of work; if you're prepared to put the work in, and you have the time, then reaching this figure is possible.

I'm not saying that quality Tweets are not important, but look in the current top 100; what do you see?...

Alot of famous people and brands. They had a loyal public following prior to Twitter and now Twitter is a good platform for them to connect to their fanbase. Reaching these figures for us normal folk is hard. Sorry to disapoint you.

But if you want to get into the five figure mark, try these common sense approaches not just to get more followers, but quality like minded followers.

Remember; like anything in life, its quality that matters, not quantity!

Your First Steps..

What you need to keep in mind is that your Twitter page is just like any other webpage, article or blog, therefore if you dont tell people about it, you wont get the traffic. To increase you're following you need to drive quality traffic to your site.

This might be stating the obvious but you'll be amazed at how many times this fact gets overlooked. People sometimes focus on Tweeting a certain way at certain times of the day, although this does have an effect, its very minimal and not worth the effort.

You're Twitter page is a social networking page, a way to communicate on a mass basses. So you need to keep asking yourself why someone who you have never met would want to listen to your tweets. Make them interesting, factual and let your personality shine through. If you follow the steps below you will drive traffic to your site, by following the steps above, you will keep your followers and they will lookout for your Tweets.

The Spamming Method

By recipricating a follower by following them you can easily increase your follow base.

Hoping that the same way of thinking applies to people you follow is a strategy that earlier members of Twitter used.

One actual member befriended over 10,000 people, a percentage followed him back our of courtesy, he then changed his profile name so his reputation of being a Spammer was gone with his name change and he then looked legitimate.

The Twitter community has now grown wise to these methods and many tools like the Twitter Blacklist and Twerpscan have been developed to help Twitter users weed out people who try to follow many users in order to build an large audience.

In case you're wondering the statistic for the number of followers who follow back out of courtesy is approximately 17%.

Another Way....

But My Dear Readers, There's ALWAYS a Shortcut!!... READ THE FOLLOWING.....

And Its NOT Twitter Software Or Tools!

Find Out For Free By Following Me On Twitter

Due to the explosion of Twitter popularity a whole side industry has been created.

There's software and databases developed that allow you to quickly build up a following.

I am not a software engineer, nor do I have a database. What I do have is a knack for seeing an oportunity and an easy way to reach a final goal. I apply this method in all my businesses. Some people see this as being lazy, I think its being smart! (Ummm, another topic for a Lens maybe).

I have discovered the Twitter profiles of the people who developed the databases. Therefore all you need to do is follow their followers (i.e. their database). Simple but effective.

They are promoting their database as being constructed of people who follow if being followed. So the average of 17% as stated above, is now increased to 100%.
