21 Easy Ideas To Rapidly Multiply Twitter Followers

1. Tell People They Should Follow You On Twitter
You can do a twitter experiment on your blog like:“you should click her to follow me on twitter “ I follow back. You will Discover that the click through rate improves significantly.

2.Link to Your Twitter Name in Your Email Signature
With every email you send you have an opportunity to link the recipient(s) of your Twitter profile. You can use a cool email signature service that includes a twitter icon in my email signature. If you don’t want  to include an image link you can simply use a text link that says you should also follow me on Twitter here.

3. Tweet Awesome Content
If you can get more retweets you can get more followers. Every retweet you get should help you net a few new followers.  How many new followers a retweet gets you depends on who retweets you. 

Share awesome content you will get more retweets, and more followers. When people visit your Twitter page and see that you are tweeting awesome content they will see the value in following your stream, and will be more likely to follow you.
 

4. Use Twiends.
Twiends is a powerful Twitter marketing and connection building program. 
I have used Twiends to build hundreds of relevant connections and I highly recommend it.

They have created a comprehensive guide explaining in detail which features of the program are useful, and how to use them for maximum effect.

 

5. Reach Out to Your Followers
This can be something as simple as an automatic bubble tweet saying hello.

Even just  to send a message saying “Hi, thanks for following” to introduce yourself to new followers will help you keep more of them. 

 

Use auto-dm’s with caution; don’t use them to send a spammy link, instead try to spark a real conversation and connection with a friendly hello.

I dont recommend the use TrueTwit Validation much, it may work but many people would sooner unfollow you than going through the cumbersome process of validating you as a “True twit.”
 

6. Carefully Include Keywords in Your Bio
The more details you can include in your bio, the better. 

Some Tools allow people to search and find people to follow based on the keywords in your bio.
Try to include keywords that both describe you and the content you tweet about.
 

7. Use #Hashtags in Some of Your Tweets
Hashtags can help people find your tweets through trending topics, and Twitter search.

#Hashtags are not so pretty to look at times, so use them sparingly and carefully. 
 

Some people hate them and will unfollow you if you use them all the time.
#AvoidStupidLongHashtags Though !

#Hashtags do open your tweets to other tweet streams, so using them when you are starting out
can open your tweets up to a larger audience than just your followers.

The more people that find your tweets, the more people find (and follow) you.

8. Tweet Cool Pictures
People like to see and share cool and nice pictures, They get attracted to pictures easily.

Pictures tend to retweet well, and the more retweets you get the more followers you can potentially get.

A few cool Twitter photo sharing tools include:

    TwitPic - TwitPic lets you share photos on Twitter

  Instagram – iPhone photo sharing service. Won app of the year from Apple.

    Tweetphoto - Photo sharing made simple

    Yfrog - Share your images and videos on Twitter
 

9. Be Funny

Laughter is the best medicine. Funny and witty tweets retweet very well.

check out favstar for some of the funniest tweets. @Badbanana and @shitmydadsays are always good for a laugh.

10. Retweet Others the Classic Way
The best way to get on the radar of others is with a retweet in the classic style, rather than the new style. 

 

 A classic retweet is when you start the tweet with RT and their username, for example:
“RT @Garin: 50 Innovative Ways to Get More Twitter Followers – http://twittertoolsbook.com/how-to-get-more-twitter-followers/” 

Doing this causes your retweet to show up in their mention stream, which is more visible than retweeting in the new one-click style.

11. Unfollow People Who Don’t Follow You
For those who don’t own a Twitter marketing program like Crowdfireapp there is also another free and paid alternative that creates a list of all people who don’t follow you, analysis and makes it easy for you to unfollow them.
 

12. Email Your Contacts and ask The to Follow You
Send an email to your existing contact list letting them know that you are on twitter, and that they should be following you.

One way to do this is to use an emboldened post-script in any newsletters you might send.
For example:

P.S. Follow me on Twitter @STAYJID2000. 
 

13. Tweet During Peak Times
Tweet during peak twitter traffic times.Check out this post I wrote about everything you need to know about timing your tweets so you can get your tweets more exposure.

The more exposure your tweets get the more followers you will pick up in the process.

14. Participate in Trending Topics
Trending topics are visible to thousands of people at once.

Participating in a trending topic can give your tweet more exposure than it normally would.

With more exposure your tweets have a better chance of spreading, and this can net you a bunch of new followers in the process.

15. Follow Highly Relevant People
The more relevant the people you follow are, the better the chance is that they will follow you back.

Target people to follow based on the keywords they use in their bio, or in their tweets.
The best way to ensure you are building relevant connections is to check out people for yourself.

16. Engage with Twitter Giants

If you can engage Twitter Giants, you can potentially get a large amount of exposure if they respond to you. Your chances of getting the attention of a Twitter Giant grows as your following grows. 

 Be persistent.  Get them on lists and tweet their original content.  Mention them for #FollowFriday.
I engage with Twitter Giants on a regular basis and I’m sure that if you keep trying you can do the same.

17. Use a Tweet Button in Your Blog Posts
Sites with twitter share buttons installed get seven times the twitter mentions as websites without them.

 Twitter already launched their official tweet button, and I recommend you use it.

If you install this button into your pages or posts manually you can also choose to have the button recommend people to follow after a  tweet is sent.
 

If you are running a self-hosted WordPress blog the best plugin for integrating a tweet button and other social buttons is Share It.

Share It is the plugin that installed the social sharing buttons that follow you as you scroll down this page.

18. Do a Charity Promotion
Drew Carey (@Drewfromtv) is paying $1 for every follower he gets, up until 1,000,000 followers.

This strategy has netted him over 600,000 followers already, and plenty of publicity.

19. Create a Great Looking Twitter Background

Most people still use the web based version of Twitter, which means they will see your background 

when surfing to your profile.

If you take the time to create a custom Twitter background people will notice and you will get more follows as a result. 

Google Check the tool Themelon for millions of color combinations.
 

20. Pick a Short and Memorable Twitter User Name
The shorter your username the better.

Many people still use the classic style retweets, so having a shorter username means that more people will be able to retweet your tweets.

21. Tweet Often
When I met @unmarketing he told me the month he became really big on Twitter he tweeted about 10,000 times. 

By tweeting all the time you might piss a bunch of people off, but the ones who don’t unfollow you will be much more familiar with you, and will be more likely to retweet you.

How effective this strategy is depends entirely on what you tweet about, of course. The more you tweet, the better chance you have of your tweets being seen by people who do not follow you yet. 

The more recent your tweets are, the more relevant it will seem for someone to follow you.
