Twitter is a great social media platform and a very reliable way to get organic traffic. And for any online marketer or sales agent, we all know traffic is money, which you can get for free by using twitter. So will you like more twitter followers? Follow the tips below for effective results. 

1. Run a Contest. 

Running a successful Twitter contest is a great way to attract new followers. Offer a good prize and make sure you clearly communicate the rules of entry. 

If your prize is related to your brand then it can also help find targeted followers who are interested in your area of expertise.

2. Be creative! 
 
Try giving away an experience, a vacation, a meeting with a celebrity. Contests draw attention! Offer multiple prizes, including a grand prize, 3-5 mid-level prizes, and as many small prizes as you feel like. 
 
Set a hashtag for your contest like#mycontestisawesome or #winmystuff, and include it in every tweet about your contest. Launch your contest through Twitter and any other mediums you are using. Blogs are great at driving contest traffic, because they can explain the prizes and rules in greater detail. 
 
You can use the conest as an inbound marketing vehicle for your website and award prizes based on  who drives the most traffic back to the contest page, thus helping it spread around!  Get contest entrants to use bit.ly links which have built in analytics so that you can track who sends the most traffic.

3. Use Twitter in Your Blog Comments.

When replying to posts on other people’s blogs, leave your Twitter name in your reply.
If you are commenting on a disqus comment system (like the one in this post) you can click a twitter icon and share your comment on Twitter.

4. Interact.
 
This is something many new users miss on Twitter. Twitter is not simply a medium to broadcast like television or radio, although some people do drop the ball and use it this way.  Twitter is meant for both broadcasting and interaction. Answer back to people who tweet you.
 
 People who talk to you will be much more likely to follow you. Whenever someone tweets or retweets me I check to make sure I am following them, and I imagine that many other people check this out as well.

5. Add Yourself to Twitter Directories.

There are directories like Twellow and several others where you can add your Twitter profile and get more followers. There are dozens of directories of Twitter users online including Twiends, Twellow, and more
 
Add yourself to as many directories as you can find under the proper categories, and you will begin to see some users following you from these sites.When someone follows you through one of these directories you will receive a notification email from Twitter – if you have these turned on.

6. Write Articles and Place your Twitter Name in the Signature Box.
 
Write articles on your topic of interest and place your Twitter name in the resource box.
Submit these articles to places like EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com.

7. Install a Twitter Widget into Your Website.
 
Did you know that you can add a Twitter widget on LinkedIn that will display your recent tweets? You can get an official custom Twitter widget that works on any site where you can add custom code!

Both the Twitter follow button and the tweets button make it possible for your website visitors to easily follow you on Twitter.
 
Conclusion
There are many ways to get more Twitter followers, but all are not created equal. The most powerful Twitter follower getting tips I have discovered are:
  • Initiate connections often (Follow others.
  • Unfollow those who do not reciprocate, or who have become inactive on Twitter. Appunfollowers works well for this)
  • Post helpful awesome content on a daily basis.
  • Engage with as many people as possible.
