How to Get Twitter Followers Fast

How to Get Twitter Followers Fast

Getting followers on Twitter is the obsession for many people who start on this social network. Spain is the ninth country in the use of Twitter, and every day more people are joining the 140-character social network, already with 570 million users worldwide.

If we have a Twitter account, getting quality followers is the same as saying community that participates in conversations, makes tweets, shares content, highlights a tweet as a favorite, … in short, it interacts with our brand. What good is it for us to have a lot of followers for our business if they are not interested in what we say on Twitter!

Twitter limits the number of followers you can gain per day to 1000, it also monitors the aggressiveness with which users follow other users, and can suspend the account if spam tactics are used.

What should you do to attract quality followers on Twitter?

Getting followers on Twitter is not too complicated if we publish periodically, and we start following people with similar tastes to our content or who we think may be our target audience (customers). Of course, we must be careful not to carry out too aggressive practices or tracking tactics that can block our profiles, which I will describe later.

Don’t just create an account and start looking for followers with the Follow Back technique, because you will fill your Twitter with millions of followers who will not contribute anything to you, and you will only have your Timeline full of content that you are not even interested in reading and full of garbage or Spam.

If you want to get quality followers on Twitter, who interact and are interested in the content you publish, I recommend that before you start looking for followers, you take into account a series of aspects that I consider important so that people on this demanding network can and want to follow you.

#1 Create an attractive profile

Prepare your Twitter page taking care of the design of your cover, since it is the first thing they will see when they enter your profile, it is your showcase for presentation to your future customers. You must attract the attention of those people who enter your account for the first time, as well as be clear and concise in the profile, so that in a few seconds they can know what you do and what is the sector where you move.

Customize your Twitter profile, just click on the “Edit Profile” button. Take care of the appearance and quality of the images you are going to use, try to make them as professional as possible, with appropriate dimensions. If you don’t know how to use design programs such as Photoshop, I recommend that you visit free or paid image banks that for what a coffee is worth you can have a very good quality image, don’t mind “wasting” a little of your time choosing it, your followers will appreciate it.

Fill in your bio with the main services or products you offer, you can add if you want the slogan of the company,

You should also not forget to place links that redirect your readers to the website where you have all your information expanded, this will also help you for the web positioning of your company page.

Twitter profile customization:

1.      Header Image

Advertising poster of your personal brand or company. Dimensions: 1500×500 pixels JPG, GIF or PNG. On mobile devices it will be cropped in a 2:1 ratio.

2.     Profile picture

400×400 pixels in size with the same formats as the header. This image is the one that will appear every time we publish a tweet as an icon.

3.     Name.

It doesn’t have to be the same as the username (it appears below the name); It has a maximum of 15 characters.

4.     Biography

It can hold up to 160 characters maximum. Write down your main services or campaigns. If you have a commercial premises, it is useful to write down our location and business hours.

5.     Location of your company

6.      Link to your website

7.      Motif color for the links. Use the most characteristic color of your corporate brand.

8.      Image or background color. Just click on settings and open the Design tab. If you choose an image for your background, it will line up with the top and left of the screen. The maximum size it supports is 2 megabytes.

Customize your Twitter profile to attract more followers and stand out from the competition

#2 Define the typology of your customers or target audience

It is clear that not all your followers will be your customers, not even the vast majority, but you must focus the content of your tweets on the tastes, concerns and needs of your main customers so that they increase in number and thus be able to make your investment in Social Networks profitable.

You can read the post Define your target audience on Social Networks, it can help you a little by knowing the global vision of the typology of people who move in one or another social network.

Although Twitter is not a sales channel, you will use it to promote and publicize your products. Remember that the sale in most cases will be made on your website.

 

#3 Structure your Tweets well and post interesting content: start tweeting

You already have a profile to show your followers and a target audience to address, now it’s your turn to publish. You cannot look for followers with an empty account, depending on the sector in which you move, you will be able to determine what is the best way to capture the attention of followers: images, videos, infographics, phrases, posts, …

You should know that a good tweet has a certain structure to be more effective and to fulfill its true function of informing and achieving a share, an RT or Favorite. By knowing how this social network works, you will be able to reach more users and get quality followers on Twitter.

Some recommendations for tweeting:

• Retweet (RT) interesting content for your audience. If you are starting out in Tweeting, it is easier to be known when RT and you mention the user or users where the information has reached you
• Tweet posts from your website that contain a link to increase visits to your website and get to know what products or services you offer.
• Use hashtags to reach more people. We, for example, use #posicionamientoweb to promote one of our services, among other things. When you promote a service, you can also place it at the end with the name of your brand #Orientadorweb, in this way you will gradually get identified on Twitter.
• Mention (@) influencers or influencers @influyente when you find content related to yours, that can help you to one day also RT your publications and make your content viral.
• Thank those followers who retweet, mention, or any action you liked. You can also use the favorite option to thank or indicate that the information in a tweet is interesting.
• Use the Favorite option to save the opinions that your followers make of your company or brand.
• Respect all 140 characters. Try to make most tweets a maximum of 110-120 characters so that when a person makes an RT your account is mentioned.

• Promote or advertise your products but without being “annoying”, because otherwise you will get them to stop following you. Don’t be self-promotional.
• Use Twitter’s new feature to pin tweets to your timeline for the promotion of a service or product or the updating of content.

#4 Start following leaders in your industry and interesting accounts that interest your customers.

If you are new to this social network, you can start growing followers on twitter with those contacts and friends who are using Twitter by exporting it from your email list; This technique is good especially at the beginning, because sometimes some people offer some reluctance to follow accounts with no followers. To find friends you just have to click on the pound icon (Discover) at the top of Twitter, and then on the Find Friends tab.

In Discover you have other options to expand followers in the Who to follow tab, Twitter recommends accounts based on others that you already follow among other aspects.

You can also use Twitter’s manual search engine: Search Twitter located at the top of your profile next to an image with a magnifying glass, just type an account if you know the username, type a word or words related to the topic you are interested in or a hashtag # followed by the topic to be searched.

Analyze and learn from your competition, look at the way they relate to each other so that you learn how they capture the attention of their followers. Follow those users of your competition who you think may be interested in your business. There are many tools that will make your job easier, some of which you can find in the tools section to follow Twitter.

We must use Twitter to communicate with our potential customers, and let them know through our publications our values, products and the services we can offer them.

#5 Interact and create conversations with your followers

Once you have created the account, and you have followed all the steps above, you must stay active with the accounts that start following you. Always responding, greeting and answering their concerns.

We should not only worry about sharing interesting content but also try to be influential to get followers on Twitter. There are several ways to achieve them, using tools, taking care of the content we publish, but above all interacting in a personal and unique way with our followers.

You already have an account that users can potentially like, now is the time to use the tools to get quality followers on Twitter, who help us and make our work easier.

Repeatedly following and un following large numbers of users is aggressive behavior that Twitter penalizes.

Some Twitter Follow Rules You Should Know

• The buying or selling of followers is not allowed.
• You can’t follow and unfollow if you don’t follow hundreds of accounts intermittently and/or repetitively.
• When your account reaches the 5000 followed limit, Twitter further limits daily follower following, depending on the account’s follow-to-follow ratio and profile type. For example, you can’t follow 2000 people and only 10 people follow you, you have to increase the number of followers first to be able to continue following
• There is a limit to the number of follow-ups per hour and number of posts per day. You can’t follow more than 1000 users per day, or post more than 2400 tweets per day (RTs count as Tweets)
• Tracking followers from apps is limited to 350 or 150 per hour depending on whether they’re acting with your Twitter account permission, respectively.
• You can block a user if their content is harmful to you or spam.
• Using the direct message: You need to be followed by a person before you can send them a direct message.
• The maximum number of direct messages is limited to 1000 per day.
• Twitter doesn’t send notifications when you unfollow someone, but it does send notifications when you start following them.
• Use mentions to communicate with a user you don’t want or are interested in following, just by naming them @usuario, your message will appear in that person’s @menciones tab.

Tools to increase Twitter followers

Although the Rules do not allow automatic follow-up to increase followers on Twitter, there are increasingly used tools that allow it, and by the way, it is rare that people do not go to them to gain followers.

The vast majority of applications limit the number of followers you can make per day so that Twitter does not block your account for being a spammer. If you use the tools with a little common sense, knowing what Twitter doesn’t allow, you can use these tools as part of the strategy to increase the reach of your posts through increased followers.

Using these tools as a strategy to get your followers on Twitter will save you time, but we recommend you to be patient since in the short term you will be able to see how interactions with the content you publish increase.

I advise you to try tools and check the one that gives you the best results. All the tools for follower management will ask you for permission to work, if a tool does not interest you, does not give you the expected results or acts as a real spammer, I recommend that you delete the permissions through the Applications tab of your Twitter account, which is located in Settings.

MANAGER FLITTER

It is one of the most used tools for managing followers on Twitter, it is easy to use and offers you a lot of information about followers and who to follow without having to leave the application. It is a very complete tool that has a free version, I assure you that when you start using it, managing followers on Twitter with Manager Flitter will be easier and faster.

To start using it, we just have to register by giving it permission to enter our Twitter account. The application will automatically appear in the list of your Twitter account if you access the Apps tab from Settings.

The free version is limited to unfollow management, as well as the number of followers per day that I can delete, although this limit can be extended “for free” by doing some beneficial actions for the tool such as following Manage Flitter on twitter or tweeting promoting it.

If you want to find new followers on Twitter with this tool you will have to pay a monthly fee of $12 for a single account (Pro Plan), a fee that will be increased depending on the number of accounts to be managed.

The tool has quite a few filters and allows you to unfollow many users at once, so you can segment your follower management and clean up your profile much faster. You will be able to delete inactive users, search for verified accounts, as well as unfollow whoever you see fit. Identify which are those users who do not have their profile correctly filled out, those who do not even have a profile photo. You will locate users who have previously used a hashtag that interests you, thus expanding your followers interested in exactly your good or service. You will find users according to a specific location, words used in their bio, minimum and/or maximum number of followers, number of tweets…

It also has a search engine with interesting filters such as searching for users by words contained in the biography and ordering them according to our interest.

TOOLOWS

This is an easy-to-use Twitter tool, and you won’t need to spend more than fifteen minutes a day on it. Well, a little more at the beginning to get the tool and the number of followers you want to follow or unfollow, as well as the type of segmentation you want to do. With toolows you will be able to sanitize (clean) your Twitter account of users who are of interest to your brand because they are inactive users for example, you will also be able to automatically follow those users who are interested in your content and make automatic publications through a feed, such as your company blog. I recommend that you follow Twitter’s recommendations to limit the number of daily followers.

To start using it, you have to give permission to the application by “signing” your consent through your Twitter account and then configure the type of followers. The free plan is limited to 50 referrals/day.

This tool works through segmented procedures called campaigns, once you have authorized the application to use your Twitter account, click on the Edit button to designate the name of your campaign, you can put for example Campaign followers December 2014. Then you choose the quality level for follower tracking (very high, high, medium, low and very low), it works automatically so it will save you a lot of time.

Follower segmentation can be done through four parameters: language, keywords, elimination of negative keywords, geographical location.

TWITTER FEED

Although it is not an exclusive tweeter tool, it is very interesting to have it to keep your Twitter active with content that is published on other blogs. Sign up and add the Feeds of the blogs that interest you according to their topic and to have all the information well organized.

When blogs you’ve subscribed to through this tool post new content, a tweet will immediately be posted on your Twitter account with updated information. You will be able to select the number of tweets that will be published, and you will also have the opportunity to add your hashtags so that the structure of the message reaches more users, thus obtaining better results.

TWITTER ADS: TWITTER FOLLOWER INCREASE CAMPAIGN

Twitter has the possibility to search for followers segmenting according to your interests, it works through campaigns where promoted tweets are launched, and you pay according to the number of followers obtained. To learn a little more about this internal Twitter tool, I refer you to one of our posts as a tutorial:

TWITTERSTATS

Simple Twitter tool to graphically view your statistics or that of any Twitter user: tweets per hour, per month, you don’t need to register, you just have to write the name, and you will automatically see a series of graphs of the tweets made, density by hour. You can use this tool to analyze the number of competitors’ posts and thus get followers on twitter.

In general terms, we must try to get quality followers on Twitter, who connect with our brand. Not only should we cast our luck looking for tools such as following to be followed, but we should also meet certain quality parameters in order to achieve our goals on Twitter.
