How To Get More Twitter Followers Quickly

ibseo — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 07:28:02 +0000

One of the questions I see asked the most in internet marketing circles is: how can I get more followers on Twitter ? Most people now know about the benefits of being on Twitter from a business perspective, however many are still unsure as to how to REALLY go about it. A typical problem is not having enough followers. Here how to fast get more and grow your following:

1.Retweet other peoples posts
This is a great strategy and can work really well. Find Tweets made by other users that you found useful, interesting and relevant and then re-tweet to your own followers. Not only will you be sending an interesting Tweet to your own followers, you’ll be building a relationship with the person who made the original Tweet. People love it when you re-tweet something they posted as it provides great exposure for themselves.

2.Ask and answer questions
You will often see people asking questions in their Tweets. This can be everyday things such as ‘what are you up to today?’ or maybe someone is asking for advice – ‘what’s the best way to….?’ By answering peoples questions and asking some of your own, you’ll build up interaction and relationships with other users. Always remember that Twitter is a two-way conversation – not merely a place for you to advertise your business!

3.Find other people in your niche and follow the people who follow them.
If someone is following a particular user then it usually means they are in that market themselves. A great way to get targeted followers, then, is to follow these people. Not everyone will follow you back of course but a significant proportion more than likely will.

4.Post regular tweets
I see many people complaining that they don’t have enough followers, then when you check out their account you discover that the last Tweet the person made was 3 months ago – no wonder they are struggling to get followers! Always make sure that you post to Twitter regularly. Try to post one Tweet a day if you can.

Twitter for marketing. Twitter the viral channel. All very well but what if Twitter is eating up your effectiveness? One way to check of course is to measure the payoffs from using the service. How much did you make from your last, let’s say.. 20 tweets? Probably impossible to measure since the one of the most coveted functions of Twitter is the viral spread of your message.

Here is were most people get it wrong. Twitter is not Facebook. You really should not tweet about inconsequential things. Do not broadcast your life. Use it to send spearheaded info-bombs that have the potential to spread.

The vast majority of users tweet about everythng which dilutes the power. And sucks your time away like a black hole. Here’s a fantastic Twitter video which I think is right on target

Loneliness can have an adverse effect on your overall mental health. Just about everyone knows this. But not everyone knows that it can also negatively impact your Internet Marketing business. And very few people realize just how lonely Internet Marketing can be too.

The Correct Way to Use Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites are very popular right now and they will continue to grow in popularity. That’s why Internet Marketers use these sites to help market their business. However, many people fail to use Social networking sites correctly. The following is the correct way to use Social Networking sites.

Some examples of social networking sites include MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, Squidoo, and YouTube. The intent of social networking sites is to help people connect with each other. This is what almost everyone on these sites is there for. So it only makes sense that most people don’t take kindly to others trying to market themselves on most social networking sites.

So, why do most Internet Marketers try to blatantly market their products on social networking sites? It doesn’t make any sense, and it doesn’t make any money either.

The correct way to use social networking sites is to simply try to meet and befriend as many people as possible. Just try to find people who are interested in your niche and then get to know the people. Don’t try to market anything to them. Prove to people that you’re someone who can be trusted and that you’re someone who is knowledgeable about a given topic. This will form a strong base that will eventually lead to a lot more sales.

In order to use social networking sites the right way you need to have a blog. Make sure that you let people know about the blog. Then people who meet you and get to know you on the social networking sites will be able to learn more about you by going to your blog. If the people trust you and value you then they will visit your blog. From your blog you will then direct them to your site where you will directly market to people. If people like your blog then they will be likely to click through to your site. That is when they will be directly marketed to.

Too many people try to market directly on social networking sites. This can work but more often than not it doesn’t work. In fact, sometimes it has the opposite effect. Sometimes your standing on a social networking site is damaged when you try to directly market your products to other members.

The correct way to use social networking sites for Internet Marketing is to simply get to know people and to be a valued member of the social community. You don’t want to directly market to other members because this rarely works and often hurts your credibility on the site. Simply use social networking sites the way they were meant to be used – use them to meet and get to know other people.
