Get More Twitter Followers with these 8 practical tips!

In this article, you will get 8 practical tips on how to increase your Twitter Followers.

1.    Update Your Profile:

First things first which are that your Twitter Profile plays the most important role as this is what your audience will read before connecting with you.

So, what you need to do?

1. You need to complete your Twitter Profile. So, start with uploading your profile pic if it’s your profile and company logo if you are creating your company’s page.
2. Then upload a professionally designed header on your Twitter page. By saying perfectly designed I mean that it should be of the right size which is 1500px * 500px.

Examples:

2.    Write Great Bio.

The second basic and the most important thing is not to leave your Twitter bio blank. In fact, use up all the words that Twitter has made available to you.

Write a professional bio that describes your professional abilities?

And here you can add your speciality, job designation or interests. If you are a Marketer, you can use words like “Growth hacker”, “Social Media Specialist”, “Digital Marketing Expert”. 

Don’t forget to add your birth date. Also, you must add your web address to get extra traffic to your website. If you have any such as your blog.

If you don’t have any personal web address, then use it to promote your other social media account such as Facebook, Instagram etc. & then finally put your location which is the name of City, Country you are based in.

Similarly, when you create your company’s profile write about your company’s USP (unique selling preposition), what are the products or services you provide & don’t forget to add the link to your web address.

3.    Post Quality Content.

Post great content that everyone loves, finds useful & engages with. In other words, create the content that educates, inspire & entertains your audience.

And if they find it useful they will not only like it but will also retweet it, resulting your content will reach the higher audience and in the result, you will get more followers.

The content types that generate more engagement on Twitter are: 

• Infographics
• Images
• Video
• Gifs
• Blog Articles
• Quizzes

4.    Use Hashtags.

Hashtags are very powerful. Using the hashtags related to your tweet helps it reach a much larger audience.

This audience is your best-targeted audience because they are interested in that content and that’s why follow those hashtags.

Some of the advantages of using hashtags are:

• Puts your content in front of the right audience.
• Increase brand awareness
• Improves post reach
• Helps to get more social media followers

5.    Stay Consistent.

Be consistent & stay active on Twitter so post regularly. If you stay active on Twitter, then you will notice much more engagement than if you aren’t.

So, the other important tip is being consistent & posting regularly. This way you will get more followers.

6.    Engagement:

Engagement with others is as important as it is for you. As you want your content to gets more engagement such as likes, retweets & comments.

Similarly, if you are not engaging with others then at some point they will also stop engaging with you and maybe even unfollow you.

I’m sure you don’t want this kind of engagement.

Do you?

Because if you do then carry on.

But I’m sure neither of us wants this to happen. 

I have personally noticed that users’ whom I have engaged with every time they shared a content even if it’s just retweeting their old posts just because I found them useful abut they never do in return.

So, in the end, I stopped engaging with them too and because I’m not interested in their content, Twitter algorithm noticed & after some time it stopped showing me their posts automatically.

We don’t want that to happen so make sure you engage with others. Leave a comment, like their post & even retweet if you find it useful.  

7.    Follow Others.

Another useful tip that works just fine is following other user’s account on whom you are interested in. In other words, whose content adds value to you, increase your knowledge.

You can follow influencers in your field or in general, users who creates a great content that provides a great value to you.

8.    Reach Influencers.

Find influencers in your niche and connect with them. Build relationship with them by engaging with their content. If you build good relationship you will get enormous benefits such as your content will get shared & you will reach much bigger and new audiences which will not only get you more followers but will also help in your business.  

Of course, you can use tools such as Buzzsumo.

Conclusion:

You must have a great bio which tell about your specialities, things you like along with a nice designed header. Moreover, create a great content on a consistent basis that people would love to engage with & don’t hesitate to follow others as well. If you follow all these 8 tips stated above you will surely get more Twitter followers.
