How to Boost Your Twitter Following

It’s been a while since I wrote anything about Twitter so I’m about to put that right.

Are you part of the Twitterati?

Do you regularly update your followers with what you’re up to?

Whether you are a private Tweeter or a business user, it has revolutionised how you communicate with people. But for Twitter to work effectively you need followers.

I’m sure you’ve seen the many websites out there that promise to show you (for a small fee) how to generate tens of thousands of followers quickly. Well if your ego is the size of a small country and that’s how you want to use Twitter, good luck to you.

Personally I have built my following organically. I follow all sorts of different people from fellow copywriters to clients, celebrities and anyone else I think looks interesting. It’s been a great source of fun and also a great resource when I’ve been need of help (certainly with various IT issues). Numbers are not the be all and end all and quality is certainly  more important to me than quantity.

So how can you grow your Twitter following?

Well one of my favourite blogs, socialexaminer.com, recently published a post showing 7 ways to grow your following. And none of them involve those websites I mentioned earlier.

By concentrating on areas such as:

• Existing contacts
• Utilising your blog
• Giving away freebies
• Engaging in conversation
• Integrating your social networks
• Adding your Twitter name to your email signature

You can grow your following simply and easily.
