How to increase twitter followers?

You need to start with ....What tweets people want to read, and What (avoid writing) tweets t people hate to read.

what do Twitter users consider “not worth reading?”

1. Cryptic tweets
2. Repeating old news
3. Using too many # and @ signs
4. Just links without commentary
5. Boring tweets

What types of tweets make your followers happy?

1. “interesting perspective on something I know nothing about”
2. “makes you want to know more.”
3. “it’s witty and snarky, worth the read.”
4. “few words to say much, very clear.”
5. “personal, honest, and transparent.”

BOTTOM LINE : If you want to get more Twitter followers, you’ve got to write tweets that people want to read. ---> ENGAGE THEM

Tip - When you write tweets that share common content, make sure you add some color around that content.

Follow those who have similar interest as you. Post quality tweets, help users out and they will follow you back.

It's as simple as that. You can also buy followers but not expect any interaction from those users.

Follow other people, then unfollow people who don't follow back after a week or so.
Use hashtags targeting broad keywords in your niche
Retweet targeted followers and engage in comversation.

The whole thing with social
Media is engagement. Post often, but not spammy. Engage in conversations, and build relationships.


Cheers,

You can get your followers from the same brand followers like if you are making jewelry then you can check the followers of a jewelry brand. This will help you to get the followers with interesting tweets.

Create your twitter profile with proper description and real images. Search followers related to your business or services. Another way u you can use social media sites like social followers likes to get related followers.

if you want followers then give them reason to follow you, and then lead em to your page.

Give them reason to follow you has been explained in great detail by Jimmy James. I agree with everything he said. your tweets should actually make people want to read them. They shouldn't be dull, automated, repetitive, and boring.
Share interesting stuff, and then engage in conversations with the readers when the opportunity presents itself. If you have a good sense of humor then this is the time and place to use that.

As far as leading people to your page is concerned then follow people,and there's a chance you may get followed back. I recommend following people who have less followers, follow newcomers and they're more likely to follow you back.

I assume that you're asking this for business purposes. Follow people who are in same niche as you, and participate in the community. Share useful information and build a reputation. People will start knowing you and coming to you.

be active on twitter and try to follow others.

I agree with everything above. With regard to hashtags, I'm linking to an infographic that has specific uses for it...and specific things to avoid. As it shows in the infographic, another possibility may be twitter chats if you want live interaction with your customers. This depends completely on your niche & customer base & whether or not you'd have anything to chat about, but it's a unique idea.

Posting often, consistently, and with good keywords added to your tweets will help increase your followers. Don't forget to add particular keywords to your profile description as well. A lot of people overlook the importance of this section but a lot of people can find you just by certain keywords in your short bio.

Following others is important too but watch out for the unfollowers. You have a limit to how many people you can follow so make sure you follow wisely (ideally you want to follow accounts that might have content relevant to your niche that you might want to retweet).

You can easily increase the number of Twitter followers by following these simple methods.
Becoming Follow-Worthy


Complete your profile

Compose interesting, funny or thought-provoking tweets

Tweet often, at the right times of day.

Follow everyone who follows you

Increasing Your Visibility

Direct people to your Twitter account

Try to get celebrities or famous people to follow you on Twitter.

Don't follow people hoping to be followed back. That makes your account look spammy. If you want a manual method, try this:

Find tweets that feature the keyword that you want to be known for. Favorite them. The creator of the tweet will get an email letting them know that you favorited their tweet (unless they have that turned off). Between 1-2% of those people will follow you back.

It's a lot of work, but this way your followers will be targeted. I'm sure there's a way to automate this.

Once you've ammassed 100 or so of these targeted followers, add curation into the mix. Get a good tweet scheduling tool and start curating content relevant to your niche. Because your following is so targeted, you will get a lot of retweets. That will help you get organic followers.

In twitter search bar search your related niche or whatever related to your business. I think you can get huge followers.

At first, you might want to try and follow as much people as possible. Also, make sure that you have the right hashtags in every post. Twitter basically works better with the right hashtags.

offer quality posts/links.
be funny according to your niche.
promote through social media such as reddit, fb groups, yahoo answers etc
be consistent

If you got any email list of your customers, you can invite them to know about you manually from this link: twitter.com/who_to_follow/import, Or you can use this chrome extension to invite them automatically by uploading CSV/TXT file with email addressees.

Post good content & invite people via other social media, email, blog, forum & by sms.

You can tweet informative and attractive information or images stuff etc and also follow others for get followers.

When you have created your account on twitter then add full description and detail with picture on your profile. After that, start tweeting relevant and amazing post with images on the twitter. As image based post are mostly liked by the people as compared to full text based post. You can also re-tweet other posts. Start following other, they will also start following you. If they are not following you then you can unfollow them after a few days or weeks and then start following other people. Continue with this process. But don't do excessive posting, do 5 tweets per day. Also, don't follow and unfollow people in an excessive way per day. By following this proper strategy, hope you can increase your followers on twitter.

Be active, original, friendly and helpful. Post regular, make friends, reach influencers in your niche.
