It’s time to give away a few tips and tricks on how to get more Twitter followers. I mean c’mon, who doesn’t like more Twitter followers right?

The more Twitter followers you have, the more leverage you have to promote your brand or website. Before I list these 10 tips, just think about how important Twitter is when it comes to promoting your brand. It’s not hard to imagine that if you offer some type of value to people, naturally your Twitter followers will climb in a short amount of time.

Think about having 500 followers. You simply leave a quick “tweet” about a new post you wrote on your blog. You just advertised to 500 unique visitors for free! There’s also a good chance that a few of your followers will “re-tweet” your message to all of their followers as well!

The moral of my ramblings… Don’t underestimate the power of Twitter!

10 Ways to Get More Twitter Followers

Be Social: Be active with your followers – Reply to them, comment on what they’re doing.
Be Smart about who you Follow: Follow people with a large number of Followers and reply to them. Your replies will be in front of thousands of followers. Don’t follow someone just because they have a lot followers, be sure they are of interest to you as well.
Blog Posts: Have a blog? Guest posting on a blog? At the end of each post, ask people to follow you with a link to your Twitter profile.
Email Signature: Promote your Twitter account in your email signature.
Forums: When posting on forums, leave your Twitter profile with your signature on your threads.
Activity: Twitter more Often. When you use Twitter more people will find you through Twitter search.
Promote: Create a Twitter badge on your site promoting your Twitter profile.
Facebook: Facebook has an application that includes your Twitter updates. Add that application to your profile.
Other Social Networks: Add your Twitter Profile to all of your other social network profiles.
Acknowledgment: When you get a new follower send them a direct message and say “Thanks for Following.” They’ll be more likely to be an active follower and tell their fellow friends to follow you as well.
