Doubling followers in 5 days sounds hyperbolic, but it’s not impossible.
The so-called details determine success or failure. This article seems to be an experience sharing, but it actually helps you sort out the details of Twitter operations.
Below are 9 details to help you do increase followers.
1. Perfect Your Profile
Before someone follows you, they’ll usually take a glance at your profile.
So make sure you’ve filled everything out and have a great profile photo — or at least one that catches people’s attention.
Also here are 7 ideas on how to perfect your profile.
- Firstly, using keywords is super important when people search for you on Twitter. You need to think about what your target audience is searching for — and then include those keywords in your bio.
- Next, you should embrace the Space and share something that will connect you with your audience.
- Then, using your bio to tell everyone on Twitter exactly what you do — or even better, what you believe in!
- What’s more, adding your employer’s Twitter handle to appear in search results when people search for the brand on Twitter.
- Further more, avoiding meaningless buzzwords.
- And mentioning significant awards and recognition in your Twitter bio. This social proof can be a great conversation starter.
- Finally, a little humor will go a long way in getting people to remember you on Twitter.
2. Tweet More
It stands to reason that if you aren’t tweeting, people won’t retweet you — which is the quickest way to get followers.
Yep — get more retweets ==> get more followers!
3. Schedule Your Tweets
Scheduling your social media posts not only saves you time but also leads to more followers.
Because it makes you consistent and predictable.
Followers will come to expect tweets from you at certain times of day — once you stop tweeting consistently, you’ll fall off the radar.
4. Use Your Connections
In social media it’s not about who you know but who knows you!
Leverage your connections on other social media sites by linking to your Twitter account in posts or updates.
5. Get Involved in Twitter Chats
Twitter chats are a great way to find people of similar interests and gain followers.
A couple of warnings about Twitter chats:
- Warn your followers you’re going to be involved in a chat as it can overrun their stream
- Don’t hijack the Twitter chat, let others talk
- Never post links to your products in a Twitter chat — unless asked
- Remember everyone can see — so tweet wisely
6. Find New Followers
First of all, you need to be clear about your target audience, which is the most critical point. Then, like Twitter chats, finding people who are interested in the same things is crucial to your Twitter growth.
Twitter lists are also a great way to find people to follow and content to retweet.
7. Keep Followers Engaged
What’s the point in having 1000s of Twitter followers if they aren’t engaged with your tweets?
That’s why it’s important have things to Tweet that appeal to your target audience and make them take action — either by clicking your links or retweeting you.
If someone retweets you be sure to reply back and thank them with a personal message — not an automated response! Reply by yourself will show your sincerity and make others trust you more.
8. Learn From The Best
Can you imagine having 9 million Twitter followers?! I can’t.
People forget you faster than you think. If someone suddenly stopped tweeting, people would forget about him pretty quickly.
But even with this many followers, you can see how important it is to use tools and stay engaged with your audience.
9. Promote Your Twitter
This isn’t the movie ‘Field of Dreams’!
So don’t build a Twitter account and just expect people to start following you — that just doesn’t happen.
You’ll need to find creative ways to get others to follow you — both online and offline.
Things like:
- Signs in your physical store
- Ads
- Including your Twitter name on your printed materials
- Business Cards (people still use those?)
- Real-life conversations (but don’t be a douche)
Bottom line is be creative with how you promote — but don’t overdo it.
Conclusion:
Can you double your followers just 5 minutes per day? Maybe, maybe not…
But it’s worth trying.
Overall I think this graphic is great to get you started on Twitter — or maybe to get you excited about it again.
Maybe just get yourself start to perfect Your profile to let more people know you better. Then learn how to arrange your tweets and chat with your followers.
