Insider Secrets For Getting Twitter Followers

By Ron Stucky


All online marketers today must make social media part of their marketing strategy. One of the most popular social media portals is Twitter. While Facebook may still be Number One, Twitter is, at worst, a close second. If you're marketing anything on the web, you should have a presence on Twitter. Beyond just being a member, though, what you really need is a significant following on Twitter. There are some steps that can help you build up a Twitter following fairly fast. Here are some tips to building a good, solid and engaged Twitter following.

Your username on Twitter should be on the short side. It's good to use your own name here, but if you have several different Twitter accounts (for different things of course) this might not be an option. Still, the rule is that shorter is better. This is largely because it is easier to retweet someone with a short user name than it is with a longer user name. You should know that the longer your username, the less space you'll have for your tweet, as every character counts. For that matter, shorter user names are a lot easier to remember. It doesn't have to be extremely short, but it shouldn't be more than 10 characters or so.

It is important that you do not describe the meal that you just had, or a conversation you overheard. Avoid tweeting about what you're wearing today, or how your hair is just a mess and you don't know what to do. Tweeting should always be professional at all times. Your personal account should be where you discuss personal things. You will definitely get the praise of your followers. Replying to other people's tweets can be worthwhile. Replying to tweets with questions or comments is always appreciated. It's no great effort on your part to send off a reply, even if it's only to thank them for the helpful info. In some cases, you may want to ask them to elaborate or clarify a point. Simply expressing gratitude for a useful link or idea is also valid reason to write to them. If you only talk to people who contact you first, you may be waiting a long time. Taking the first step and reaching out to people goes a long way on social media sites. This is one of the ways to get more out Twitter and reaching out to your followers in a notable way.
