Grow your Twitter Following Fast

By James Steele


More and more people spend much of their online time engaged with social media in one way or another. It's also become accepted that social media is just as good for marketing as it is for chatting in a social manner. Almost every business professional and Internet Marketer has professional accounts in each of the biggest social media portals (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). Out of all the social networks, Twitter is probably the easiest to figure out and use to your advantage. In this article we are going to teach you some of the things you can do to build a good Twitter following. Once you have followers, you also want to develop good rapport with them, so we'll be discussing how to do this as well.

Pick your username carefully, and keep it short. It's good to use your own name here, but if you have several different Twitter accounts (for different things of course) this might not be an option. The shorter the name, the better for your purposes here. Any of your tweets that get resent will be clearer if you have a short username. Your tweets can get cut off with a long username, because every character that makes up your name counts, and takes away from what's available for the message. It's also more likely that people will remember a name that's short. If you have a special attachment to a longer name, that's your choice -but otherwise it's best to keep it short.

Design a better Twitter background. It's quite easy to create your own branded Twitter background, as there are lots of free resources around to help you do this. You'll stand out from other businesses and you won't be mistaken for a spammer. If you stick to the generic background everyone else has on Twitter, this can tell people you're not serious about your business. You risk people jumping to the conclusion that you don't care enough about your business's Twitter profile, or that you haven't taken the time to work it out. Did you leave your WordPress blog with the generic theme it began with? Why would you do so with Twitter?

There are many ways to grow a Twitter following if you do it the right way. There are obvious ways to do this. Some are not so obvious.

You already know how popular Twitter is. No matter what you are promoting online, it can be advantageous to use Twitter to reach out to people. Having a Twitter profile, however, doesn't automatically mean you will start getting lots of followers. If you apply the methods we've discussed in this article, you'll be well on your way to being a power user. Twitter can be an important part of your social media marketing, so you should look for ways to connect it with all of your blogs, websites and other web properties.
