How to add more twitter followers

The question of how to add more twitter followers is constantly being seen in the internet these days. With so many possible solutions, I've decided to list out some of the manual methods of achieving a higher number of followers within a short period of time. Firstly this article is going to be more for twitter beginners so I'll try to make it as simple as I can. I'll give a little information about twitter itself, followed by the concept behind it and then I'll end with my list of actions to take.

Twitter is simply a social networking site that uses the concept of and micro-blogging /short messages. Users can send and read short tweets that are no longer then 140 characters long to a list that chooses to 'follows' them.

Following another user allows for that individual to keep in the know about the latest happenings of the other party. Whenever a tweet is sent out, the follower will be able to see it on their twitter page. Due to the nature of its short messages, many individuals also use SMS (short message services) to manage their tweets and twitter accounts.

Twitter is a great tool to use to get your target audience to know who you are and what your business is all about. It's a great marketing tool that brings like minded individuals together.

My Twitter Tips (as seen on my blog):

• When beginning to add more twitter followers, look for individuals that you are interested in and that have a large amount of followers. (e.g. in Internet Marketing, individuals like Mike Dillard etc) These people usually have like minded individuals following them and you might be able to attract others to follow you.

• After adding these individuals, click on their follower lists and start following other individuals. As a rule of thumb that I learnt from my mentor, I always look for (1) those that have been regularly / recently active and (2) who have a profile picture.

• Depending on your twitter page and the response it gets, a range of about 40% to 70% of the people that you follow will tend to follow you back.

• While you add more twitter followers daily, remember to keep in mind that twitter has a limit to the number of people that you can follow per day. The ratio is usually 10% of the number you are following against the number following you, or 200 people, (whichever is smaller) - I've never really hit this maximum so I cannot confirm these numbers.

• Next, you should use 'Social Oomph' to allow you to auto-follow others back. You can set that up at the site and also add auto messages to thank those that follow you.

• Additionally, you can also use a good resource known as 'Twellow' to search for people that you might want to link up with. You can add yourself to 10 categories by creating a free profile on that page and add social media links like your facebook or youtube pages here.

• You can use Twellowhood to follow others in your city too. (Only in U.S. , Canada, Australia)

• Another resource that you can use is 'Huitter'.This site allows you to use a function called mutuality. With this, what you want to do is to (1) Unfollow all those who do not follow you back & (2) Follow all that followed you. This will help to balance up your numbers and allow you to add more people.

• Finally I highly recommend this software - TweetDeck. Tweetdeck is a personal browser that allows you to see everything you want to see all at once in an organized and up to date way. You can even add a link to your Facebook account to see the updates there too!

Last but not least, remember to add your twitter URL to all your sites, blogs, emails and business cards to allow others to link to you.

Hope that the above tips and information on how to add more twitter followers were useful for you. If you still have any queries or questions about how to add more twitter followers or other matters, feel free to email me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Re: Is any one making money with twitter here? - [quote="ideasuniversity":acvoh80n]Yet to make any cent, may be I will remove myself from their list and use my twitter account to build good business relationship with my followers[/quote:acvoh80n] Yes, Yinka I think that is probably the best option for you at this point. I see you only have a little over 300 followers and that is not nearly enough to make money from twitter using these methods. I have almost 5 times that many followers and as I said I still only make a few dollars here and there. These are most effective if you have a few thousand or more followers.

Re: Is any one making money with twitter here? - Daily activity is a MUST. I spend between 20-40 min a day on twitter building followers and relationships.
Re: Is any one making money with twitter here? - I make no secret about my opinion that twitter is about one small step above worthless when it comes to getting quality traffic and actually making money from it. There are numerous other things that are much more worthwhile to do with your time that will create far better results for your business than twitter will. With that being said, if you really want to use your twitter account to actually make a little extra money then the services I have listed on my makemoneytweeting.com site are the best way I have found to do it. A few thousand followers and you'll probably get around $5 per tweet. Maybe more, maybe less. That is not much money at all but when you consider the services are free and you really don't have to do anything other than sign up and approve tweets, all of which takes about one minute, it becomes worth it. I think GT gave a very good explanation for his use of twitter. I personally don't fully agree with it for myself, but we all have our own methods and the beauty of having our own online businesses is that we can run them any way we want. In my opinion, twitter is a fad that has either hit its peak already or soon will (at least as far as internet marketers are concerned), and then it will be all but forgotten when the next "cool" thing comes out that everyone jumps on. In the mean time, I will still be utilizing the internet marketing strategies that have worked for years and won't be going away any time soon.
