Have You Wondered How To Get Followers?

By Rahul Navlakha


You have accomplished your first major dream of your life. You now hold your first book contract in your hands. The one little problem is that the publishers have asked that you join Twitter as part of your marketing plan. The thing that makes you nervous is that you have no idea how to get followers. And what is the point of being on Twitter if you have no followers?

Twitter is a social network. So the first things you will want to do is to find your friends on the website. Most friends care about what you do, so that is going to give you a natural edge. Send them a nice e-mail if they don't follow you after a couple of days.

Announce on your other social networks that you would like to be followed on Twitter. You can do this several times. Twitter also allows you to send your updates to other social networks. This too will help friends remember that you want to be followed. Adding your Twitter link to your e-mail signature is another thing you can do to help. As time goes by, you will want to post on Twitter itself that you are always looking for more followers.

You will want to add a Twitter widget to any blog or website you might have. People who keep up with your blog will likely also want to follow you on Twitter to hear all the latest news.

Most people use Twitter for business ventures, however that does not mean asking your friends to follow is wrong. This website is a social network. Who knows who your friends may know who may be able to help you on your writing journey?

Twitter is something a lot of people like to play to around on when they know they should be working, but do not have the strength to do the tasks in front of them. Links to blog entries or other web articles are quite popular. Of course, this also increases your readership which always helps an author.

Twitter always has suggested people to follow. It is a good idea to follow anyone that you can. A lot of Twitter users follow everyone that follows them. Some even announce the people that they are newly following, which can generate even more followers.

Twitter has directories you can join. The site even has online discussion groups focusing on the site and how to get the most out of it. Joining those will only help you expand your followers and will likely give you other ideas as.

But the number one thing you can do to get more Twitter followers is to be active on the site. Regularly update throughout the day as you work. Make your tweets interesting. Respond to the people following you. This is how to get followers.
