Twitter – Must Read

It seems that many people can’t get enough of Twitter. They are always talking about it, online and offline. Through Twitter, you can build a large network of friends, clients, associates, and customers. This is a must read for those who are new in this social network website.

When you use twitter, you can create your personal brand or dominate a certain niche. How can you achieve this?<a href=’’ http://www.twittbizmagic.com’’>A 6 Part Video Course Using Twitter

Once you create your own profile page, the very first thing that you need to do is get ‘followers’. If you have friends or relatives who are already in Twitter, invite them. This may not be of great help to you especially if you’re trying to promote your business but if you’re simply making new friends and want to stay connected, this is a good start. For business persons, you need to follow ‘gurus’ or the powerful users of Twitter. You must know what they’re doing in order to ensure success in Twitter marketing. <a href=’’ http://www.twittbizmagic.com’’>A 6 Part Video Course Using Twitter

The second thing that you need to do is to meet more people. ‘ReTweets’ are great for making new friends. In this tool, the original message is repeated. Whenever you receive a message or tweet, reply as soon as you receive them. So even if you receive dozens of tweets from your followers, you need to reply to them patiently. You will never go tired of using Twitter and as what other users claim – Twitter is addicting.

Once you use the social site, you can’t get enough of it. When you sit down to answer the tweets or messages, you will hardly notice how time pass by. Some individuals spend hours and hours online twittering. You can also do the same but you must have a fast internet connection. Look for helpful tools that you can use to create memorable Twitter experiences.

The profile page is very important to attract more followers. A dull profile will not be fruitful. You must make your profile as interesting as possible. It should also suit your purpose for using the site. If it’s for business purposes, you must create a powerful and intriguing page. It must tell something about the product or service you’re marketing. Even if you want to make friends, your page should still be interesting.

Use the Twitter tools available so that you can have one of the most attractive pages; that way, when someone visits your profile page, they will want to be friends with you. When you get their attention, they will continue to follow you. Appreciate all your followers so that you can develop stronger relationships. Having friends from different parts of the world is truly exciting.

If you can’t stay online often, you should set the settings properly so that you can receive the tweets on your mobile device. You can now reply to the tweets using your mobile device. So you see, twittering is possible anywhere at any time. You can enjoy twittering during your coffee or lunch breaks or when you’re out shopping. You can tell others what you’re doing and where you are if you want to.

Always stay connected and don’t forget to post tweets regularly. If you want others to feel your presence, Twitter everyday; soon you will be one of the twitter addicts out there. Read this and you won’t regret it.

You will find many interesting ways there.

We are big fans of growing followers using 'organic' methods such as those you suggest. Great post!

I found an even better way to add twitter followers than you can imagine. I went from 70 followers to over 200 in one evening with nearly no work.. This service is the bomb.

its fast easy and free... http://alturl.com/3ojr

The biggest key that I can see in building your number of followers and your influence on Twitter, is to not give a damned about your number of followers and boosting your influence on Twitter.

Look at Pistachio. She is now one of the true power players in social media, and it’s mainly because of Twitter. Look at how she uses Twitter, as a conversation tool, and promote content that OTHER people have created.

I have yet to hear her ONCE mention how many followers she has. Scoble does it every other day.

Twitter works well when you use it as a spotlight to put the focus on EVERYONE ELSE.

That is how you build influence on Twitter and increase your number of followers.

I'll Follow You Back!
:)

Just a few more that come to mind, Chris :)

1. Use Twellow or another Twitter type directory to find like minded tweeters to follow, who may in turn follow you back.

2. Tweet useful content. Links could lead to: blog posts (yours or others), news articles, pictures, photos, videos, songs, political stories, religious stories, health information, etc. Also consider tweeting humor items and quotes. Adding things of real value will be the thing that will get you the most followers, and they will be people like you who share your interests and values.

3. Be yourself.

4. Beyond participating in events that use #hashtags, such as #chats, just use plain hashtags on occassion in your tweets. In this way, people with like interests will find you in Twitter Search, and add you to follow.

5. Choose like minded people to follow, and about 50% of the time they will follow you back. But only choose those who you have something in common with. If they have not followed you back after a month, consider unfollowing them. You want those in your network who are friends (mutual followers) who you have something in common with. You are not merely trying to acrue followers! You can find these like minded people through Twitter Search, searching Twitter hashtags in Twittersearch, atttending hashtag chats, through twitter directories, in twitter groups, and a myriad of other places.

6. If there is a tweet you particularly like, RT it, whether the person is in your network or not, and if you value the person's tweets, follow them. They may follow you back. And if you notice someone RTs you, and is following you, if you appeciate their tweets, follow them back!

7. Consider following your friends #followfriday reccommendations. Look at their profiles first and their tweets, and make sure they have like interests and values. If they do, choose them, they may follow you back.

8. Don't wait for others to be leaders and great conversation starters. Do it first! You will be surprised how many followers you will get!

9. Consider doing a youtube video, it will increase your exposure. At the end of the video, list your twitter address. Also put your twitter address other places -- on your blog, at the end of your comments on blogs, on forums, etc.

10. Have fun on Twitter, others will notice!

11. Sponsor a local tweetup, a blogging conference, or a social media club.

12. Put your twitter address on facebook, along with your tweets.

13. Perhaps put a widget of your tweets on your blog, or at least a "follow me on twitter" button on your blog. Some of your friends will sign up for twitter and follow you!

14. Don't spam. Don't jam your product or your blog down somebody's throat. Tweet for other people a lot more than for yourself. Perhaps tweet for others 10 times to every 1 time you tweet for yourself!

15. This should seem unnecessary to say, but needs to be said anyway. Be kind, and don't embarrass or be mean to others on Twitter. If you want to correct someone, do it in private. If you want to harrass someone, you don't belong on twitter.

16. This is perhaps the most important thing of all -- BE HELPFUL. You should do it bc it's the right thing to do, not to get followers. But being helpful, on and off Twitter, WILL get you followers...

thanks for letting me share,

Quite well put.. now all I need is sometime on weekdays and some discipline :)

I love the no nonsense approach Chris, and you don't have to shell out a single cent. I'm on to it. Thank you

This post does totally smack of being a shamwow commercial.

Good to see you at #pcb4, Chris. Where did you guys end up for the karaoke-the Limelight?

Freakin' hilarious! Loved this! (But I want so much to invite all my friends to my Mafia family. :D)

dude ... you got me here ... i thought this was real when i read it, but i might have been skimmin' it too quickly ... doh

anyhow ... i'm guessing the point was something like ... yeah, quality over quantity ... i know that i have completely overSaturated my @loususi twitter account at this point ( and continue to do so seeing the feed reading value of it is beyond saving ) and have learned some lessons along the way ...

what i find fun and fascinating is trying to explain the real value behind Twitter ... i know what it is, i know what i use it for and how people misUse it an' all ... you know, like those that put up to the second descriptions of like everyFr!kkenthing up there for every second a the day ( 1 person in mind right now, but i'll leave names and initials out to save myself looking competely horrendous ), but my personal ( and professional ) belief is that its NOT for everyone ... there's a lot of power behind microBlogging on the mB of choice, right? but not everyone is going to get something valuable from the experience ... it took me about 2 years in the 3 years i've been on Twitter to finally 'get it' ... to understand that its not about who's brushing who's teeth with the elmo toothbrush or what kind of coffeeHot drink Dave it gettin' right now at the 'Bucks, ya know? but that its about the microConiverse ... the microRelationships being microManaged ... all those shortenedURLs and the amazing pre-broadcast info you can get well before Connie Chung and the gang even get wind of it, whatever it may be ... the potentially powerful flashMobbish ability of the medium to unite people to a cause, political or no, to plan + empower + help each other ...

so tweet, tweet well my friends, tweet well + often ... but not TOO often ... don't snck, aight?

piece!

Chris,

"There's a post in Warrior forum where someone said you stole all of their strategies for getting more Twitter followers from their WSO and they want you to pay for resell rights" ;-)

Doug

Wow, you're in a quite a mood today!

All great thoughts!

Getting More Twitter Followers is great Idea and what steps u provided to increase it is Awesome.

I am cracking up on your blog post. I had to read it a few because I thought it was so damn funny!!! You've got edge and I like that. Too hilarious chris!!!!!! lol

I think most people have done that already,seems not work so well.
Plus I think tweet smart words would be a good way to attract followers,add value to your followers would be much appreciated.

I have some serious issues with 8 & 10. I mean, whats the point of me even having followers if they don't want to know all about MEEE!!! :D

Nice list! Have a great time @ PCB!!

Chris,

I'm really, really into food and cooking but you make a fair point. I guess food is like religion and politics. What you find delicious, someone else may find disgusting.

Great post, Great spoof title! the only suggestion I have (if anyone gets to this comment) is that for those giving Twitter advice to newbies, please log into the web application once in a while to see the changes Twitter makes. 5# suggested change - use the integrated twitter search tab on the right side of the page "to find people talking about the things YOU talk about, and follow them!"

I was all set to take advantage of this amazing offer, but http://tweetstats.com says I tweet 21 times a day, which makes me spooky. Now socnet greatness is out of reach… I'm stuck with only 671 followers who never chat with me. I really thought more people would be interested in my daily beard growth photos! ☁ http://3.ly/IvO

Fantastic post Chris!!! LMAO!!! I loved the "!!!"'s
-Zach

Wonderful, Chris!

Ah superb Chris!! Even the MLM'ers might clue in to what it mean to be yourself and engage in conversation!

Aren't we all just so exhausted with these same old "pitches" that fail to deliver? Seth Godin is right, marketers (I'm one, I admit) have failed too often by lying.

Interesting that you use the same tactic, yet it draws such notice; which makes me think it's "you" that we've come to trust, because you've delivered on what you promise - that's good marketing communications!

Don't over tweet, 20 times or more a day? That's just crazy! ;)

Total lie. That's to throw off the newbs. : )

good short article, I'm looking for stuff like this and hate to read pages of fluff

I received three calls from "technology challenged" friends who were panicked because they couldn't make their Twitter Tweet. I told them that is what happens when you lose all of your followers, you get booted from Twitter.

Just received an email from one of them who said that Chris Brogan's site said something about an attack. Dude, you're famous among former Luddites. Pretty cool.

Sage advice!

No Parody here Chris. But you left out the two most valuable ways to Get more Twitter Followers.

1. The real reason for writing this post is to rank on Google for the search phrase "Get more Twitter Followers". How could you leave this out of your list of things to do in order to Get More Twitter Followers? I'm sure this will make you a Trust Agent with those looking to Get more Twitter Followers on Google.

and of course follow that up with
2. Commenting on a post that is search optimized for "Get More Twitter Followers"

Now I feel this post is complete! Come on Twitter users. Follow me to learn more how to get more Twitter Followers.

You know, it hadn't dawned on me.

What?

Ranking in Google?

Dude. No you didn't with this title. That cracks me up =) Nice work stirring it up a bit. I got a good chuckle out of Comments.

How long until your number 1 in the search engines for "Get more Twitter followers"

Good to know. Although it's limited to just 140 characters, the social mores of Twitter are more complex than meets the eye.

Love this, and will share it far and wide. Happily, few of my clients want gazillions of followers, but will be interested in the how-to. Wrapping it in sarcasm makes it an especially lovely gift to share!

I'm here to help. Your clients will do better by finding people who care about them.

It's like getting Rickroll'd without the Rick. Hilarious, Chris. I have this vision of you sitting at you computer cracking yourself up as you type each word. If this whole social media thing doesn't work out for you I think SNL would be very interested.

For the next one can you talk about how we can see naked pictures of hot chicks if we provide our email addresses? That's one of my favorites.

I'm doing "how to be a social media expert in 10...no 4!!! days."

This is great advice! I'm listening to Chris Brogan now on MarketingProf's #summersocial

Ha! To cranking funny. (I hope this doesn't send all the spammers to FF or Tumblr)

Chris,

Thats a cool list of tips :)

Well I can't get more followers I already reach sometimes 600-1000 followers a day :( for past few weeks now...

http://twittercounter.com/joehobot/week

What's my strategy? Well be successful like @aplusk hahah be nice to Top Twitter Dogs...

Chris -

I love what you do. You took some great advice that could be looked over and turned it into a very interesting, fun to read post.

These are great tips! I never thought about tweeting other stories with frequency. That's probably why I don't have too many followers, because I don't tweet but once a day. I'll try it as soon as Twitter is up and running again from thier "denial of service attack."

Great advice Chris! At the end of the day it all comes down to great content and participation. If you're not prepared to work at it then why bother!

I love this article.

You slapped a growing (and useless IMO) industry in the face without actually calling its participants dirty names. ;)

Grabbing followers for the sake of getting a lot of followers just makes no sense to me. There was a time when I thought maybe that made sense, but now more after a long time and hard work on Twitter.

Don't be that guy! ;)

Darn... I really thought THE Chris Brogan was finally going to tell us all his fool proof, no work needed method for getting Twitter followers... Guess I will just have to keep working at it :)

and i'll add i think it's awesome too that somethin' nudged me to go to the trust agents site on facebook to connect w/ folks and when that down too (b/c of facebook freeze) i thought to come here....gives new meaning to the value of finding our social media home ;)

how fabulous and fascinating that you'd post this the day twitter fails....how completely awesome in a way.....might we think the world took your advice and it had a huge impact? kidding....great ideas...and so very very true. here's to being authentic..

Well, maybe not so many followers "Today" given the recent and supposed DOS attack on Twitter!

Great post though, very insightful. NEVER use TwitterFollower though!

Yep, I think you're right, Chris. Your post worked SO well, it broke Twitter. ;)

Thank you so much - I am so sick of all those ads for free followers. Go back to basics and WIN - who would have thought it - Oh yeah, Chris!

Great post, Chris. What is the irony that Twitter goes down after you post it? ;)

Great post Chris. However, it might not be today. Looks like tomorrow since Twitter went AWOL :)

Hi Chris,

Brilliant post. I especially like item number seven. Some people spend their whole day tweeting. Like with most things, quality trumps quantity!

Best.
William

Using search.twitter to find people talking about stuff you like and then engaging them is the best way to do things. @reply them about their articles or comments and the conversations will lead to followers.

Well, not today anyway...at least until twitter is back up. Good timing though.

Pretty funny stuff. Always good to start the day with a laugh (and good advice to boot). You just missed the P.S. (it always get read, you know?)!!

Hello Chris,
Thanks for providing such great information, I really have benefitted from and appreciate your input.
Please clarify for me the difference between #9 and # 4 above.
#4 has the appearance of using twitter like IM please explain the difference.
Thanks again

Hi Friends! Chris knows how to make a product fly off the e-shelves of the Web Shopping Network, sure....

But wait - did YOU go to Twitter and find it was DOWN? That's right, friends, the social networking phenomenon that has swept the nation is offline.

Don't worry - we've got TWO great products for the price of ONE. You've all heard about getting more followers from Chris. Now, try

Get More Friends On Facebook!!!!

How much would YOU pay? $49.99? $39.99? $19.99?

Nope...IT'S COMPLETELY FREE. If you stay tuned, he'll be on shortly.

In the meantime, just write down your viewing habits and every interest or hobby you have (along with 20 friends that share them) and send it all to Facebook@Microsoft.com.

Ever time one of them joins, you'll start getting a fraction of the IMMENSE ad revenue that sponsors are earning.

Chris,
Great tips. I wonder how many tips for Twitter usage are wandering around on the internet? It would be interesting to aggregate them all and see how many 'do's' and 'don'ts' we could find.

PS - You didn't fool me. Even on few hours of sleep I knew you weren't really posting a spammy 'HOW TO GET MORE FOLLOWERS' (in all caps of course) list:)

Maria
