How to Get More Followers on Twitter

If you have an account on Twitter, the social networking and micro blogging site that allows users to post tweets or short blog posts, you might be wondering how to get more followers on Twitter. One way to get more followers on Twitter is to be known outside of the micro blogging site. The people with the largest number of followers are typically prominent figures, such as the US president, celebrities, businesses and business executives. There are ways to become a known figure on Twitter without being known beforehand, especially if you post interesting and regular tweets and if you take steps to promote your Twitter account.

In this video, Chris Gore shares several secrets to gaining more followers on Twitter. He recommends promoting yourself within and outside Twitter.

Step 1: Tweet Often

The first step to increase the number of followers you have on Twitter is to post interesting tweets on a regular basis. People will not bother to follow anyone who doesn't tweet on a regular basis, at least not people who don't know you personally. "Regular basis" in Twitter language means at least a few times a day. Although part of the point of Twitter is to post casual tweets, keeping people informed about your daily life and things that come to your mind, other posts should point to news stories, fun videos, thought-provoking opinion pieces and other interesting content.

Step 2: Follow Others

The second thing to do is to start following other interesting people on Twitter. Some of them will follow you back if they find you interesting. If you tweet, you are probably already following friends, old classmates, coworkers and family. Now start following other people that you find genuinely interesting. Using Twitter Search for topics that interest you is a great way to discover like-minded individuals whom you could follow. If you often discuss the same subjects or have a similar perspective, there's a much greater chance they will decide to follow you back or start a dialogue.

Step 3: Participate in Discussions

Another effective way to obtain new followers in Twitter is to participate in discussions, particularly those on Trending Topics. If you post interesting or insightful tweets, people will notice, and some of them will follow you. Good content is what really makes people follow you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSsDML2p904
