Twitter is quite a common word these days and it had been like that for the past 1.5 years. The speed at which it the Social Networking phenomenon has crept into the normal human life is unbelievable and unstoppable. You might be aware of several businesses which run just because of Twitter and several people who are paid a hefty packet to tweet a single post to their thousands of followers.
So, how do you get a zillion Twitter followers to follow your each and every tweet like God who exist in Zion? You must be a celebrity or you should have done something which has celibacy. You should have been in an Earth shaking controversy or simply put, you should NOT BE NORMAL.
Forget all these, there are several other ways by which you can have quite a good number of followers on your twitter profile. Let’s look at those several easy and simple methods, which you are aware of, but never paid any attention as of now.
Lets make out a simple list first:
- Let your friends and relatives know that you are on Twitter. Don’t forget to tell your grandma about Twitter and it’s uses.
- Place a link on your blog to let your readers and visitors be aware of your Twitter profile.
- Place a link on your visiting card so that you can share your Twitter ID to the people you have just met.
- Make a post on your blog and let your ardent readers know more about Twitter tricks and also about your profile and suggest them to follow you.
- If you are looking out for people and you are targetting them from any particular niche you are working on, search for that particular niche using #(hashtag) followed by keyword. Eg: #wordpress
- If you want to meet some new people who have the same hobby as yours, do the same as suggested above. Eg: #ploughing
- Same profession from some other companies. Check above for example.
- Do not forget to fill in the Twitter profile in a neat and appropriate manner so that the new followers can learn more about you and find your enthu.
- Do not share long and broken URLs while sharing any interesting article you found online. Use several URL Shortening services.
These are a few of the tricks to get more followers on Twitter. Do not forget to tweet interesting links now and then and maintain the active participation so that your followers do not assume you to be a zombie, who wakes only when your stomach rumbles.

This will increase your number of followers…but do you really want bots following you?
This is definitely a great approach though. Follow people in the industry and you will build a following yourself. I think a lot of the people who end up following you are looking for a followers themselves (or just interested in what you have to say since you are tweeting about a similar topic).
I know I’ve gotten followers from following others and have actually gotten a few hits to my site from those followers.

Registering yourself in Twitter directories is another good way to find related followers and to showcase your twitter profile. As with searching tagging is important here.
Another way is to use some free viral scripts where you give away something for a tweet. You can add an optional check box to follow you as well. Most people usually do, this is highly effective if you have something valuable to giveaway. This squidoo lens have more information on how to increase your twitter following.
Another more easy way is to use automated software, but you need to invest some money to get a one that is useful and powerful.

I have enjoyed browsing your blog and I appreciate your list of Link shortening services, I did not know there were so many!
I am still learning about Twitter so your tip for searching on Twitter (# prefix) is a plus for me. Nice one!
I smiled when I read “More tips down your sleeve” Where I come from it’s “More tips up your sleeve”
My tip which you probably know already is to use http://su.pr to post tweets to Twitter with your link encrypted automatically with the option of sending messages to Stumbleupon and Facebook at the same time. You can also view the number of clicks to date and your ongoing stats too! It’s a great way of getting more traffic without cost-only your time!

I found a great tool once to help people get started on twitter – it’s called twiends, and basically it’s a system that lets you earn points for following people, and then you can use those points to get followers.
It worked really well for a blog I set up. Nice post!
