People are searching the ways to get more followers(friends) on Twitter.I am discussing some awesome ways to get more twitter followers.

2. Brand Your Twitter Profile:

Branding,branding,branding.Of course, if you want to get more followers on Twitter.Brand your Twitter profile with professional background and Twitter avatar.Branding of your twitter profile can add more value.

3. Link Your Twitter Profile:

Link your twitter profile to your blog or website.It can create more trust about you and your tweets.

4. Follow users who follow you:

Follow users who will follow you back.Follow some potential twitter users like Barack Obama,Techcrunch etc.I’m sure Barack Obama will follow you back.

Twitter is not only the communication tool to keep in touch with friends and colleagues but you can make more followers(friends) by becoming more interesting.Answer the DM or questions send by other twitter users.

8. Promote your Twitter Profile:

Promote your Twitter profile on your blog,website or other networking sites like Facebook, StumbleUpon,Digg,Google profiles,MyBlogLog or any other sites.Even you can promote your Twitter profile by advertising it with PPC advertisements like Google Adwords or any other ads network.

9.Tweet in Peak Time:

Darren Rowse says:Last week I tracked when I had new twitter followers add me and found (as I expected) that the frequency of ‘adds’ where made during business hours in the USA. My being situated in Australia can have some positives and negatives but one of the things I don’t enjoy about it is that I miss out on a lot of interaction with my followers who are on the other side of the world from me. I try to be online when the US wakes up (evenings for me) so as to make the most of the opportunities of being awake in this overlap time (similarly first thing in the morning for me can be good as my US friends are sometimes still at work or online at home in their early evenings). Tweeting during these times only increases the chances of someone finding you and adding you as someone to follow.

10. Don’t Tweet everything:

Don’t tweet everything like “I am taking tea” or “My cow is not grazing”.Nobody will have the time to read your tweets which are not worthy for the people.People doesn’t care whether “your cow is grazing or not”.

You can get more twitter followers by following the steps mentioned above.

I hope you are the potential users,so if you know the other ways to get more twitter followers,you can add in the comment section.

I’m doing some of these tips before… But sad to say that my first twitter account which has gaining many followers was banned. I realized then, that the number of your followers don’t have much difference with the no. of twitters you follow…

Hi! Interesting post on twitter. I have to admit I thought I would never use twitter. That was before I started blogging. When I started blogging I decided to open a twitter account. Basically I use it when I create a new post on my blog. When I create a new post I tweet the post. I never really know if someone is reading my tweets, but I think its a good Idea to tweet the posts. I haven’t yet set up a unique background, but you are right it would help give value to your twitter.

Thanks for the tips!
Jim

When you said tweet in peak time, I think that it is very important, because America is the center of the Internet, I could imagine if there is no America. If you blog in English, you will definitely think about your readers in the USA, because every Americans can use the Internet :) .

I think the best way to go is to follow people, they follow you back, and remove ones who don’t follow you!

Your tips are really useful & smart. But I found especially 2nd last really needful & effective for bloggers. It’s really something that can go unnoticed. It’s a correct redirection of efforts.
