I've seen people be able to gain thousands of followers just following a bunch of random people. However this can get you reported and banned if you do it too often or too much at one time. It is interesting to watch twitter turn into the next social media advertisement venture.
I think it is just ridiculous that people would put so much time into getting random people to follow them on twitter. I use twitter to follow my favorite celebrities and to stay in touch with my friends and follow the idiotic ramblings of their brains. My followers are all friends of mine who are following me for the same reasons I follow them. I just don't see the attraction of being retweeted by people that either don't actually exist or that I will never meet in person. Why people think it's so important to have lots of followers is still a mystery to me, and I think it is even sillier that there are blogs that are supposed to teach you how to gain more followers. Maybe it's just me but I find having actual friends and person to person interactions more important than crafting my twitter catalog to attract more followers. From a business standpoint, it makes sense to increase your online presence to reach more potential customers and spread word of your company and this article is a great place to start to learn just how to become more popular online. However, the article looks to be more aimed towards individuals looking to increase their followers, which I just find silly.
These tips to gain Twitter followers sound like an updated version of current networking tips. For example, the concept of making sure your twitter handle is known is similar to simply getting your brand out there with tactics like business cards. Then there is finding, following, and connecting with similar businesses on Twitter. Even the idea of promoting your business on Twitter takes the simple idea of promoting your business in the first place and adds another step. Twitter can be a very helpful marketing tool for businesses online, but it clearly requires extra work to gain popularity in the first place.
When it comes to twitter I have about 30 followers and I myself follow maybe 25 people. It makes sense to post "how to gain followers" it allows twitter to expand its social media and allows other to expand their twitter account. My friend on the other hand has about 500 people that follow her, and its actually funny how these tips is actually what she does. So I guess the tips actually do work.
I am not yet on twitter but planning to make one soon for my business and myself! I hope that my twitter will be worth joining, not just promoting my restaurant business by posting out our specials and discounts, but actually giving them some practical benefits that they would not mind checking and looking forward to my twitter post everytime.
Informing people how to advertise there companies on twitter is a great way for twitter to gain users. This is also benificial for marketing a company and keeping your audience up to date with what your company is doing. The more followers a business gets the more potential customers will see. If the businesses tweets keeping coming up on a friends feed the more likely one of their friends will also follow the company.
These tips make a lot of sense and I feel like they are almost common sense. Maybe that's because I am familiar with social media, but those who are older and that are newer to social media may find these tips very helpful. Once you start gaining a good base of followers, the sky is the limit with your marketing campaigns.
Context is important with Twitter followers. If it's just a random individual trying to up their online credibility, it may not be worth the time. But from a business marketing standpoint, more followers means more exposure. And potential additional exposure through retweets and comments. Also, I believe that people view your company as more credible when it has more followers, so that may be a reason for gaining them as well.
I created a Twitter account few weeks ago . I did not like it at first as much as Facebook then i start gaining followers. I have about 53 followers and I am following 80, mostly athletes ( soccer players). I always make sure to tweet two or three times a day. Among my followers, some of them I do not know. Twitter allows me to have my "moment of fame"
The steps provided seem simple enough, yet I still only have about 40 followers. Sad. Twitter can be very important in promoting yourself and networking, especially for entrepreneurs, so it is wise to follow these steps and boost the number of followers. The more followers you have, the more successful you can appear.
It's very interesting that twitter started out as a simple social media website and now it's used by thousands of companies for advertising. Twitter has grown so much over the past few years, and that's why so many people are concerned with gaining more followers. It's been one of the cheapest and most effective ways of advertising and marketing in the last few years, and it's only going to continue to grow. I understand why people want to gain more followers from a business perspective, but there are so many teenagers and young adults out there that simply think it's a popularity contest and want more followers, just to say they have more followers.
More individuals and businesses are utilizing Twitter, along with other popular social media sites/apps, to gain a following and therefore increase awareness and gain more customers, a larger network, etc. Through social media, people can discover new communities with like-minded individuals and I think this is the appeal of Twitter, Instagram, and other sites. Also, for a company, gaining followers increases the credibility of their business. This article means nothing to those that do not use Twitter or care about the benefits it could bring if used properly, however for modern-day networking and marketing, these five tips can make a big difference in the followers you have.
This article includes some great tips on how to increase your Twitter followers. I really like the idea of "sharing the love" and using hashtags and twitter handles to get others noticed too. Others are more likely to return the favor.
It's interesting to see how Twitter has become the new "hot" social media device. Businesses and individuals used to focus on the number of likes they got on their facebook page, but now the focus is on increasing presence on Twitter. I think consumers prefer Twitter because it is a consistently updated feed with short snipets of information, instead of overexausted, long facebook posts and links.
I thought it was interesting that the article suggested adding your Twitter handle to your email. Normally, I would view this as unprofessional for a business. This article made me think differently, rather than being unprofessional it provides businesses with a means to get in front of consumers, communicate, and relate to them. I saved a quote on my phone months ago I read in an online article that said "Branding in today's world is knowing people and relating to them." The two articles reinforce each other.
I'm one of a few who does not use Twitter, so none of this really applies to me. I do understand the need for businesses/companies gaining followers on social media sites, but this article seems to be for everyone, which is a little silly that a random person would want more followers for no practical reason.
The tips that were given can be helpful to those who have not started a twitter yet. For those that already had a twitter its common sense. I personally don't see the need to have a bunch of followers. If your a business than thats a different outlook. By having a lot of followers helps generate more publicity for your company.
This blog is a good, concise list of suggestions for gaining Twitter followers. Businesses should certainly be aware that in order for social media marketing to be effective, people must see it. That being said, I think it is also very important to note that the number of followers a business has is irrelevant if it is not making a genuine connection with any of them. Social media marketing is intended to be a sort of conversation between customers and businesses, and too many followers could make that goal impossible.
As someone who has deleted and recreated a Twitter account 4 times, I have definitely struggled with whether or not it is something I want to have. I currently have on, so obviously I eventually decided that it is. Twitter is one if not the most important social network right now, and it is definitely something that you can utilize to your advantage if you work it the right way. Right now I only have a personal Twitter, but recently a group I am affiliated with took our campaign to Twitter. I see it as a good way to reaching those people who use a personal Twitter, and these tips are semi-useful for this.
I do not have a twitter, but I have thought about possibly getting one. So this article would help if I were to do that. The only problem I have is, I don't really feel the need to tell people what I'm doing at every minute or what I am thinking. I know that twitter and social media have business affilitations as well now, but I just see myself using it for casual use. But I feel that for the people who do engage in that type of publicity, it works for them.
I have a twitter, but mostly just use it to see stay up to date with old friend. In terms of gaining more followers, I've found that the best way to do that is to post something clever and funny. I do always see links to business' twitter pages on their web sites, which I find to be an easy way to find how well-known the business is.
The fact that people are concerned with how many followers they have on twitter is rather silly. Having 1000+ followers is great and all but how often are those people concerned whether or not your follow them. Part of not having many followers for some twitter users may be due to the fact that they don't tweet much, don't tweet interesting things, etc. Twitter can be a great place for marketing and to get your name out there for whatever purpose so if people want more followers they must be willing to be patient with gaining followers.
I do not have a twitter account but after reading this article I feel like I understand a little more about the whole tweeting thing. I never under stood following some ones day to day activities but if u are a business owner than there are some definite advantages to it. Also many disadvantages! I think for advertising it would be a easy cheap way to reach the consumer.
I think these are all good tips on how to get more twitter followers. As all the articles we have read have pointed out, social media is a must for companies, so more and more companies are going to need these tips.
