Give these following tips a try for increasing your Twitter following:
-
1) Find The Popular Tweeters In Your Niche …. Using the search function of Twitter will help you quickly find those tweeters with a big following. Start following them, get into the discussions and when they engage with you, it is Twitter gold! Just one tweet from one of these popular tweeters will put you into the limelight and provide a huge opportunity for others to follow, as they will become aware of your profile.
-
2) Tweet At The Right Time … If your business or industry has an audience in a different time zone than you, be sure to tweet during their peak times. You may want to use a Twitter platform to schedule tweets during the off times if you are not able to tweet at 3:00 in the morning! Just be sure to check your @mentions first thing in the morning and again later in the evening.
-
3) Organize With Twitter Lists … As you start increasing the number of followers and those that you follow, start setting up Twitter lists. These lists is a great way to focus on specific groups of people, stay engaged with them and never miss important tweets.

5) Be A Leader / Be Resourceful … When you share good quality content, links, videos, articles and posts – it is more likely that you will get more people that will want to follow you. Also, less likely for them to unfollow you! So don’t tweet every minute with tweets that only have links to your promotions and affiliate products. Instead, share helpful and useful information for your target market.

Twitter is yet another way to provide links back to your blog, as well as reach a number of individuals you may have otherwise not had access to. Establishing a good following on twitter with intriguing posts is a great way to direct more traffic to your blog and establish a larger group of followers.
