Get a Huge Twitter Following
1. Create a great Twitter bio. One of the key factors in whether or not people decide to follow you is the quality of the information in your bio. If you have a relevant website, be sure to include the URL. You only have 160 characters, as opposed to the 140 allowed in tweets, so use them well.
2. If you're new to Twitter, create about 10 or so interesting tweets before looking for followers. You have to give people a reason to want to follow you.
3. Links to interesting websites, articles and videos make great tweets. Because the URLs will be too long for Twitter, you'll need to create a short version. You can do this at tinyurl.com. Copy the long link and paste it into the appropriate window there and it will generate a short link that is suitable for Twitter.
4. Tweet inspiring or humorous quotes. You can find a lot of great quotes that your Twitter followers will enjoy at BrainyQuotes.com
5. Search YouTube for videos that relate to your topic or area of expertise, then tweet about them.
6. When you read interesting tweets, re-tweet them to your followers. When you do this, the person you re-tweeted may repay the favor by re-tweeting your tweets to their followers. Some of them may then decide to follow you.
7. Twitter is a social media site, so be sociable. Join in the conversation. Reply to people's tweets and give them compliments on their tweets from time to time.
8. Be sure to thank people who re-tweet you. All you have to do is hit the reply button and send a short note.
9. Participate in Follow Fridays by recommending others on Twitter to your followers. In turn, many of the people your recommend will then recommend you, which can grow your list of followers.
10. Read Twitters' rules of service so you understand the rules about following and un-following people. Break these rules and you could get suspended.
11. Limit your marketing tweets. Try to keep a ratio of about one marketing tweet for every 10 regular ones.
