Quick Tips To Get More Twitter Followers
1. Design a kick-ass profile
You’ve heard it a million times already, but it’s true that you only get one chance to make a solid first impression. People will judge you within the first few seconds of meeting you.
So in order to capture their attention, you need to have a profile that looks trustworthy, unique and of course, memorable. Here’s how:
- Keep your bio short, sweet and to the point. Don’t ramble. You only have 160 characters to tell who you are so be as specific as possible. Use keywords as well so the people in your industry can easily search for you. Don’t forget to sprinkle some personality! Take a look at these great examples:
- Use a recognizable headshot or a logo. Though I prefer using a headshot (since it’s more personal), you can also use a logo. It’s not really a big deal as long as your avatar looks relevant to your business.
- Add your site. You want more traffic, so don’t forget to add your blog URL.

2. Tweet Strategically
Ramp up engagement on your tweets by learning how to post effectively. Here’s a visual example of a perfect Twitter post (especially for your blog post):
Elements of a perfect Twitter post:
- Use high-quality image. Pair your post with attention-grabbing photo to boost retweets by 35%.
- Use relevant or trending #hashtags. Tweets with hashtags gets 2x more engagement than those without. Use no more than 2 hashtags per tweet.
- Keep your tweets short. Writing tweets in less than 100 characters receives a 17% boost in engagement.
- Use URL shorteners. Leave some room for retweeters. My favorite is Bit.Ly.
- Include a call-to-action like “check it out”, or “RT” for maximized interaction.
Tips on posting effectively:
- Be active. Post engaging tweets that you think your target audience will love – throughout the day.
- Repeat your tweets. It’s okay to post the same tweet every few days. People tweet a lot, so they probably will not see your post the first time around.
- But avoid over-tweeting. Don’t post in batch as you may annoy your followers. I post about one tweet every 15-30 minutes.
- Pin your best tweet. Pin your best tweet to the top of your profile. Highlight a tweet that contains a link to a blog post you’re proud of.
- Personalize some of your posts. Add your opinion or comment.
- Use automated tools to schedule tweets. I highly recommend using Buffer or Hootsuite.
- Tweet at the right times (especially your blog posts). Use Tweriod to find out the best times to tweet.
- Vary your tweets. Don’t be boring. Vary the type of content you’re posting while making sure they’re still relevant. Remember, one of your goals is to be interesting. Other type of content you can tweet about: News or trends in your industry / Questions / Humor / Gifs / Videos / Quotes that your users will love.
3. Set Up Twitter Cards
For maximum tweet engagement, set up Twitter cards. Boost your chances of getting more followers and driving more traffic to your post through content attribution.
If you’re on WordPress, you can use JM Twitter Cards or WordPress SEO by Yoast.
Look at how Mari Smith posted and pinned a tweet of Stuart Davidson’s post with Twitter cards:
See how the tweet above linking to the Author’s website, name and Twitter handle? That’s another great way to increase your chances of getting more clicks!
4. Don’t be a total robot
Duh. Don’t just tweet and run. Be Human. Show that you care about your audience too.
- Respond and engage with those people who interact with you or share your tweets regularly. Start a conversation or do something that will make them feel appreciated. Tip: create a list called “engagers” so you won’t forget about them.
- Find people you admire. Tweet out their content or simply craft a thoughtful message for them. Tell what you like about them, how you admire them, etc.
- Participate in Twitter chats. Take advantage of chat groups to make friends. Check out Brian Fanzo’s list and find chat groups that are relevant to you.
- Retweet. Found something useful? Valuable? Remarkable? RETWEET and add your opinion!
- Don’t auto-send direct messages. I’m getting dozen of auto DMs every single day. About 90% of them are spam or advertisements and it couldn’t be more annoying. So please don’t join the bandwagon. People simply dislike it (and Twitter too).
5. Connect with the influencers
Take the time to find and build relationships with the most influential people in your niche who can share your content with their followers. Remember, getting your content spread out by the leaders in your industry can easily boost your credibility since it was curated by the people they trust. Their fans can become your fans as well. Here are some simple methods to get on the radar of the influencers:
- Feature or mention them in a post (that they or their audience will love) and notify them about it.
- Interview them.
- Say hi, introduce and start a conversation.
- Regularly tweet their content until they notice you.
- Follow them.
