How to Increase Your Twitter Followers

How to Increase Your Twitter Followers

Twitter is the new rage. You are probably hearing it mentioned everywhere you turn; on the news, talk shows, websites and in magazine articles. At first glance, it appears to be a ridiculous service, as did MySpace and Facebook when they were first introduced. There is even a "Twitch-hiker" who is hitch-hiking across the world using Twitter to find transportation and a place to stay.

A good way to increase your Twitter followers is to join Tweeter Getter. This works in a similar way to how network marketing works. When you join, you automatically follow the six people ahead of you. When people join after you, they follow you and the five people ahead of you. They are not charging a fee at this time. It is definitely worth checking out. This link will bring you to a page where you will follow me and can start getting lots of followers http://tweetergetter.com/lydiablogg

Another way to increase your followers is to choose a random person (maybe someone who follows you or that you follow) and follow their followers. To do this, choose the random person and click on their "picture". This will bring you to their page. On the right side, click on "followers" and it will show you everyone who is following them. Click on "follow" beside those names. Proper "twittiquette" is when someone follows you, you should follow them back. It seems you will get about 25 - 50% of the number you follow to follow you back.

A third way to increase your Twitter followers is to join TweepMe. TweepMe is a brand new service that launched St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2009. If you want to gather followers quickly this is a great way to do so, although they are now charging a fee. When you join, you are automatically followed by all the other members and you follow the other members back. Check them out at www.tweepme.com

I will add other ways to quickly obtain Twitter followers as I find them.


*As of right now (April 7, 2009 at 9:45AM), I can see these services have caused my followers to grow exponentially. 24 hours ago I had 398 followers. Right now I have 482. This of course, is a gain of 84 followers in a 24 hour period.

UPDATE Today, May 5, 2009 2,740 followers.

*If you do not want lots of followers or to follow lots of others for some reason, do not use these services.

*You might want to go into your Twitter "settings" and "notices" and shut off "Email when someone starts following me" and "Email when I receive a direct message". Your mailbox might fill up quickly if you do not uncheck these.
