2. 3 Ways to Get
More Twitter
Followers

3. Twitter is BOOMING. According to
Fortune, Twitter now has more than
100 million active users. That’s users
that log in at least once a month.
And get this, half of those people are
signing in everyday.

4. That’s prime real estate for branding
your business. But the biggest
question always boils down to “how
do I get more followers” or better
yet,” how do I get more targeted
followers?” Using these three ways
to get more Twitter followers should
allow you to pick up a nice size of
followers in now time!

5. Get More Twitter Followers | 1-
Follow Related Twitter Accounts
This strategy takes a little strategic
thinking. You must think, “What type
of people do I want following me?”
This may be your target market and
people directly related to your target
market. Once you have this question
answered, think of who those people
may be following already.

6. Once you’ve decided that, find the
person or business you think your
suspects are following and look
through their followers list. Voila!
Their list will provide you with a
robust list of potential followers that
are right at your fingertips.

7. Follow the people you believe will
benefit your mission and give them
some time to follow you back, it
would be great if you also socialized
with them a bit too. For the people
that don’t follow you back after a
few days, rinse and repeat

8. A great tool for unfollowing people
that aren’t following you back, check
out Who unfollowed me. As a bonus
tip, if you want to keep track of the
accounts your suspects are
following, add them to a “list”, that
way you can keep track of your
resources.

9. Get More Twitter Followers | 2- Post
Relevant Content With Links 60-80% of The
Time
People love interesting and breaking
news. Posting juicy content that your
followers love on your timeline will make
you a sweet spot for engaging
information. Studies done by Dan
Zarrella shows that the ideal percentage
of tweets containing links should be about
60-80% of your total post.

10. Don’t be greedy and only post about
your content, give your followers a
unique experience. That way they
will look forward to seeing what’s
interesting going on inside your
tweets. A rule of thumb to ensure
you aren’t self promoting too much
is to use the 1/9 rule.

11. This means that you post at least 9
post not about you or your business
for every one post that include you
or your business.

12. Get More Twitter Followers | 3-
Tweet Later in the Day
Studies have shown that tweeting
after noon has shown higher click
through rates (CTR’s).

13. This means that spending your effort
and time in the afternoon and
evening when more people are
online, will allow you to get more
replies, retweets and followers.

14. It may also help if you automate
some of your tweets so it won’t be
so much of a burden to continuously
monitor your updates and
interactions. One of the best social
media management tools is the 7
Minute Dashboard.

15. There you have it! The recipe for
success. Keep up the
engagement, post useful
content, follow the right people, and
you’ll be on the path to have a
Twitter powerhouse in no time!
