TWITTER BASICS | How Do I Get Followers?

I hope you had a chance to try out some of the Twitter Lingo. Probably one question I receive about Twitter is how do you get followers? Twitter will allow you to import people from your email contact list. This is a great place to start because it moves your conversation out of the inbox, which sometimes you need to do.

You can also search for accounts to follow.

You might have noticed some people are following 1,000+ people or vice versa. People can choose to follow you. It is a courtesy to follow people back. but don’t think that it’s a golden rule to follow everybody. The “following/followers” aspect depends on who you are trying to reach and how effectively you want to connect. There are also bogus/spam accounts out there that do more harm than good.

Hopefully by now you have chosen a username for your Twitter account. Feel free to add your username to the comment section below. As I stated last week, this series will (1) show you how to use the platform and (2) introduce tools you can use.

Twitter Lingo

Twitter has its own language, but it’s real easy to pick-up on. You are allowed to send (or tweet) 140 characters. This is the perfect platform to put writing skills to work because you want to say something meaningful to encourage people to follow you in as few words as possible.

Following/Followers – In the upper right hand corner of your profile, you will see the number of people you follow and those who follow you. I will talk more about this “relationship” process in next week’s post.

I’m back for FAQ Friday’s. I’ve been looking through my emails and have had several questions pop-up with the new crop of clients and people I have met online this year. Everyone wants to know how to automate. I highly recommend relationship building with social media in order to make the platform effectively work for you. There are times of the day, when you simply can’t be on the computer. Automation can save you time and still keep you visible.
