Best Way To Get Twitter Followers
-
What does the forum think the best way to get Twitter Followers is?
I'm talking from the perspective from a fairly unknown brand where there's no obvious reason for someone to follow.

At the end of each blog post/article remind your readers to follow you on twitter. This work wonders. Another cool way is to pay by tweets. If you provide a downloadable resource on your website, then make it available only after tweeting about it. Make sure that your twitter button recommends to follow you, if a visitors is not already following you. With the passage of time you will get many followers.

The brand/site in question is a very straight forward loan site and at the moment there's not much reason for people to want to go on the site for content purposes. It's more they need a loan and that's all they care about.
The content part is something we're working on for this site, but at the moment, it's hard to get twitter followers via this route.
I was more looking to get twitter followers first who could then be driven to the new content to generate traffic and then re-tweets... reverse logic

Storitz - nice, I've never heard of it, but it looks good.
Thanks for the response

I use Twellow.com - easiest place to find like minded Twitter accounts.

Competitions are always good but really, you want to have a rich social presence that is driven by your content strategy.
So, you post great content on your blog - people read you and follow. They may even then tweet it through your social plugins and you may pick up more readers / followers.
You have a strong presence on twitter, post interesting things, interact with other interesting people to build relationships and ultimately pick up more followers like that as well.
Then, you have strategies for getting followers like competitions where people have to follow you.
Really though, get some good content on the site and tie in twitter very closely with your content strategy and be active on twitter and you will start to build followers.
No silver bullet really, like everything else, the real answer after all the bluster is simply - hard work.

It would be easier if i knew more about your brand, product, service.
Reasons for someone to follow you: - Quality content
- Costumer service
- Competitions
- Competetor
- You follow them
- Like you product, service
If you have traffic to your homapage:
- Promote your twitter account
- Include the twitter follow button
- Give your visitors good reason to follow you
And I guess, just take it from there

Tommy,
I saw that and it's good, but it doesn't really tell you how to go from 0 followers to a sizeable number. It's more based on the fact you've already got a base of followers.
Say we had a toilet cleaning firm. Where would you find suitable followers for that without harassing people
Maybe I'm looking for something (Although preferably not) with a bit of a darker hat on...

Should I add follow my followers in a company page on G+ ?
Hi All, On one hand, if I follow them they are happy and receive a notice that they are being followed and will probably be more agile to plus my writings. On the other, it is unreasonable for me to follow everyone... and I think that as a brand I should watch very carefully who I follow. Thanks
