    • You Follow some twitter persons... They will follow back

  • yeah I have spent hours following people to get follows back. However that type of worthless traffic does not convert. I would recommend only following people that are in your niche. You probably won't get as many follow backs but at least it will be convertible traffic.

    • Thanks Chawk, I'm really interested in getting targeted traffic. I don't want to balloon my numbers with insignificant followers. I was reading somewhere that search engines consider the # of followers that you have so that is why I've been focused on finding quality over quantity.

      I think it is pretty amazing how some people are able to get tens of thousand of followers. I just wonder how many of those engage. If only a few portion, what are the benefits of that?
  • Ego bait.

    Write an awesome blog post mentioning key influencers in your niche and reference their awesome input.

    Tweet these people saying you blogged about them.

    Wait for the RTs and mentions (and links back if you're lucky).

  • Tweeting at someone is very effective. Engage people on twitter, even if they aren't your followers yet. Participate in and start conversations related to your business. Often you'll get a retweet and a few followers. I know a guy who built his mailing list from nothing to like 50,000 and this is where he started.
  • Buy good quality fake accounts and then mass follow targeted people

    • Follow others in the same niche, post often (without spamming nonsense) use hashtags wisely, people will follow you back and others will find you.. Before you know it you will have a much larger base of followers then people you are following
    • Banned
      I tried this and it didn't work. I made that mistake: to buy fake account, and will not repeat it again.

      The simple way to get followers is to follow influential people form your niche, tweet, retweet, interact with them.
  • Follow all that people who is related to you niche and post valuable post.

  • Just follow more persons ... Some of them will surely follow you..
  • 1. Do keyword research
    2. Use advanced search function on Twitter to find targeted twitter accounts who are twitting about your niche or keywords
    3. Follow them so that they can follow you back
    4. Use tweepi to remove those who did not follow you back after 3-4 working days.
    5. Follow people who had twitted in last 24 hours about your chosen keyword
    6. Use specific hashtags when posting.

    There is a long list of activities which I can suggest but for now just start with above 6 steps. Remember it is always better to have only 10 followers who are highly engaged and helpful for your business rather than buying 10000 followers for $20 USD.

    • Thanks Dorino! This really helps. I've been building a following slowly with interaction with influential people in my niche. I was a little concerned about amassing those large numbers that I see with others. Thanks!
  • In your email signature you must include a link to your twitter account. make following you is easy.
    when someone visiting your facebook then make it easy for for visitor to see a icon of your twitter account and best place in your facebook is in About section.

  • The following might help you.
    --Follow more people for them to follow you.
    --Share some interesting videos on youtube and put your Twitter details there.
  • Developing influence on Twitter is harder than I thought it would be! You need to be delivering good content that other people are genuinely interested in. I've gotten an increase in followers lately after publishing and sharing some blogposts.

    I think h4wts' advice works. People are more interested in themselves and other people than they are interested in abstract ideas, so it really helps to be specific and concrete. I prefer to think of this as "human connection" rather than "ego bait", but it's essentially the same thing. Social networks are about people.

    Just remember to make sure that your content is good, useful, relevant! Also, Favorites can function kind of like Likes, they get you noticed- so use them! And reply to real people when you see stuff you like. Say good things, be human and friendly. You may not always get responses, but it's inevitably worth it when you do.

    Cheers

    • Referral Candy, I agree! It's just basics of social interaction. I was just concerned with the "get followers quick" schemes. I personally value organic and engaged followers. Thanks, this is reassuring!
  • Increasing twitter followers that are useless to you is easy (plenty of advice on that above)

    Increasing twitter followers that actually are useful to have and read and act on your tweets is much much harder ... and that all comes down to the quality of what you tweet.

    I only follow ~30 people on twitter as I want to read what they have to say. Think about the tweets that come from the people you want to hear from --> emulate them.
  • If your posting interesting information user every you will give god information user will follow you easily, so try it like that

    • [1] reply
    • I believe exchanging followers is a good idea but buying them won't be that good.
  • Follow only active users .... see when they last tweeted if over a month ago ... move on to next one.. also only follow people in your niche think this is a godsay but thought I would mention it ... have always found twitter to be low quality traffic though .. hope this helps

    Follow, Tweet, Retweet and Favorite is the key to success in twitter. At first follow your niche related people then tweet interesting content then retweet others tweet who are talking about same topics finally favorite others tweet and make comment. Hope you will get number of followers everyday.
  • Here are some of my strategies to get followers on twitter:

    1. Follow only relevant twitter users that follows more people than having more followers. And make sure to check if they are tweeting frequently.
    2. As much as possible participate and use trending hashtags.
    3. Tweet and retweet.
    4. Follow popular people/celebrities.

  • You have two option ,you can go through manual way by doing yourself with proper activity daily basis on Twitter or you can hire a professional for such a getting likes and followers. For both way you can go through manual and automation process with proper tool. its up to you which way you want to go to promote your product. I personally fever of both method to get higher traffic on the site from real users.
  • Use HootSuite or TweetDeck or any free tool that will help schedule you post.

    I gained 160 organic followers in 2 months by 'engaging' in conversation. If someone posted something, I read their article, looked at their photo/video, made a 'relevant' reply. They noticed and mentioned me on post. Their friends noticed. It just builds weekly.

    Engage. Engage. Engage. Don't just post.

  • Tweet often, at the right times of day:
    Nobody wants to follow someone who never tweets, therefore it's important to remain consistently active on twitter. You should have a minimum of one post per day and ideally two posts per day to maximize your visibility in the Twitterverse.

    Use hashtags:
    Using hashtags is a great way to connect to people with similar interests and to increase the visibility of your tweets.

    You can also buy a Followers from freelancers sites.
  • You should go onto people that tweet about the same kinds of things that you do, and follow alot of their followers. You could also go on someone like your favorite celebrity and follow their most recent followers. Alot of these people will follow back.
  • Hey,

    Traffic exchanges do work to increase Twitter followers. However, many of them from traffic exchanges are fake profiles. I found this Forbes article that gives some really useful tips on how to build a massive Twitter following.

    Hope this helps you out!

  • First, it is an old story: Make creative, engaging post. Imagine reading a post that leads you follow a person. people tends to follow a person because of what they do.

    Also, Like the other mentioned, follow people, they'll follow you back!
  • Post regularly. Make interesting and engaging tweets. Follow your industry leaders, retweet people. Be active.
  • Use hashtags so that other users can find you. Also, try to follow back user as well.

  • Follow, and you will get followers.
    Retweet.

    • What about posting tweets that have info that people actually want to receive?

      1. Using software just gets you a lot of followers that will never bother reading what you post.
      2. I NEVER follow anyone just because they follow me.

      I only follow 150 people/companies as they post what I want to be informed of. If I add a new followers, I delete one to keep it at 150. Any more than 150, I can not keep up.

  • For start, dot't buy fake account, but you can use "add me fast"- it's an exchanging platform. you like pages on facebook or follow on twitter, then you gain points and with that points you get back folowers on twitter or likers on facebook.. it wont increase your traffic, but it will show your business as bigger with lots of likes/followers.

  • I increased my followers a lot by using Klout and Buffer to post interesting content in my niche.

    It actually works quite well as the people are interested in your stuff and follows you.

    Rather than force following with follow backs etc...
