How to Boost Your Twitter Following
How many of you marketers out there are actively using Twitter? What would Twitter even add to your business? Is it a sure way of bringing in new leads or is it just the newest online fad that will eventually die down? From a marketing perspective it almost doesn’t matter what the intended function of Twitter may be, just as long as it gets your brand name out, right? In the article I read this morning titled “How to Boost Your Twitter Following” Katherine Tarbox gives some great pointers on how to utilize Twitter fully.
So how is it that people get so many followers?! I understand for famous big hitters getting followers takes no effort on their part, but what about for a single individual or a company? Starting at ground zero on any marketing trend is difficult so where do we begin with Twitter? Tarbox suggests “following 100 people a day for a month. Nine times out of ten the person will reciprocate and follow you back” out of politeness and/or actual interest. So who should you follow?
If you’re in a business begin by following other in the local community that are in the same business. Follow your clients, referrals, colleagues, past clients and other associates on Twitter. Your Twitter base needs to show that you’re a local expert and have lots of connections with others in the community.
After you’ve sufficiently built up a good Twitter database you can slow down your follows to about ten to twelve per day. Make sure you keep up some level of maintenance in following new people and by the end of the year you’ll most likely be followed by thousands.
