If your Primary reason for gaining twitter followers it to drive traffic to your different web properties, your goal should be to build a list of followers in a focused niche , feed them with real content they can use, get them to your subscriber list and build relationship with them

What You shouldn't do
Stop spamming and using spam tools like Tweetadder as fellow warrior Steve Longoria discusses here

Hiring someone from Fiverr to build you a 5k list of twitter followers who never responds to anything is as bad.


What You Should Do
  • Curate useful content for your target Niche
  • Find out the Influencers in your market and use ego baiting to get them and their followers to follow you.
  • Connect and build relationship. Twitter can be your place of first contact of a long term relationship for your business
  • Use Tools strategically to help you implement these steps

    If you try to spam in attracting followers at Twitter, maybe you will get low conversion rate in any sales. Because of the spamming.

    Mou, thanks for the candid advice. I was recently employed to work as a creative director for a news website. How do I get followers on Twitter owing to the fact that a news website has various niches?

      Even for news website , your twitter policy must have an objective.

      Is it about spreading brand awarness?
      Is it about driving traffic to the site?
      How is the News Site different from other News Site?
      Does it target specific Niches?

      If you have answers to these questions use sites like HashTags.org: Listen and engage in Twitter conversations of your Niche and gain valuable social media insights

      It may be even a great idea to divide your Niche and have different Twitter accounts.

      Quality post, I like this. I've always felt like using programs for twitter doesnt make any sense. People should follow you because you have interesting content, not because you're a good spammer.

    You're right, building a social media presence online takes time. I also agree with you about TweetAdder. However, I DO use Tweet Adder, but not every 5 minutes like so many people use it. I use it to display important tweets about blog tips every hour.

    It gets so hectic sometimes that you about have to use something like this to generate traffic. You can't be staying on social media sites all the time! Even though it's important, but I DO use it in a small sense.
