6. Host a Webinar

Webinars are online seminars, and can be a powerful way to build your brand and your Twitter following.
A Webinar is a perfect medium to get more Twitter followers fast, since you can link directly to your Twitter account during and after the webinar for attendees.

 

You can begin by creating a template for your slideshow that includes your Twitter information in the bottom right hand corner. Many attendees will automatically look in that corner of the presentation last, while listening to your information. Encourage Twitter users to follow you throughout the presentation, and talk about the benefits of the content you share on Twitter. 

 

If you plan on hosting a Q&A session ask people to follow you on Twitter and tweet their questions. Not only will this get you immediate followers from the participants, but their followers will see the questions being posed to you as well, and this can lead to more followers. The software I use to host my webinars is called any meeting and it is free to use for up to 200 attendees. 

 

7. Do customer support through Twitter, Now, am not suggesting you throw away your help desk, but add Twitter as a support channel. You may find that users are already tweeting questions at you. Most good help desk software already offers Twitter integration. 

 

Some people like posting support questions via Twitter, as they feel the public nature of it will lead to a faster response. Adding it will win you some new followers providing you offer good timely support through it, Many Upgraded Nigerian banks do this, such as Gtbank, Firstbank, UBA, FCMB, Sterling Bank, etc. 

 

8. Integrate Twitter with Your Videos People love to watch videos. Creating video tutorials for your area of expertise is a great way to get exposure for yourself, and your Twitter presence. Place your Twitter username in various places in the video, and you can even use a watermark or video annotation so that your twitter username is constantly visible.

This strategy worked for Ashton and I’m sure it could work for you too if you have the budget to cover the cost.
