1) Posted links to each article that is on my blog
2) Have commented on others Twitter handles in my niche


Anything else that we should do?

    I think you need to do more interactive engagement and less "broadcasting" ... when I auto-pilot post to Twitter we get very little reaction. When I engage and pose a question for answers, or run an impromptu contest with a giveaway, the response is really surprising.

    Retweet the link to targeted followers.

    Send direct messages to your followers, inviting them to visit your blog to find out more (assuming they are real, targeted followers)

    @mentions (just don't go crazy with them, or they will suspend your account)

    Put your URL in your account profile, so when you follow people it will have your link right there when they receive the email telling them who followed them.

    Just to name a few.

    there's something else that you can do for twitter promotion.
    It's called : pay with a tweet.

    You can lock a page , and to unlock it, people will need to tweet your content to their followers that will result to viral effect.
    That'll increase your website traffic, new followers, and lots of other benefits..

    Goodluck bro

      I think you can find a lot of blogs especially SEO blogs that talks about how you can use social media sites especially Twitter in order to promote your site. What I can say is to stop pitching sales talk and engage your followers into real conversation. You need to build real connections. Don't use automation because followers knew when they are talking to a bot or a human being...

    Using hash tags helps (not too many) and so does searching by hash tags.

    I'd go and get more followers first:

    1) Identify the preeminent blog or website in your niche
    2) Follow them
    3) Follow their followers (say at a rate of 10 or 20 a day)
    4) Ask them and other preeminent Twitter handles in your niche questions or for their opinion on controversial topics or current trends
    5) Share a stream of material that is unrivalled in your niche
    6) Watch your followers and reach grow

    There are also ways of automating these strategies. For example Dan Norris on Informly shows how he generates leads and traffic with an autofollow strategy using Tweet Adder.

    Also you can generate automated high quality content using Yahoo Pipes and a free Hootsuite account.

    Hope that helps.
