How to get more followers on Twitter: 16 fundamental tips<\/h2>\n

Check out our list of tips to help you get new followers on your Twitter account<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>
\n1. Optimize your profile<\/h2>\n

Your profile, comprised of your name<\/strong>, your picture<\/strong>, your cover<\/strong>, 160 descriptive characters<\/strong> and a link<\/strong>, is ALL that you have to introduce<\/strong>\u00a0yourself to your audience<\/strong><\/em>. So, make sure and use them well! When potential followers see this info they should know who you are, what you do, and why they should follow you<\/em> . That\u2019s why you\u2019ve got to think hard about what you\u2019re going to include!<\/p>\n

Also, if you’re using your account to promote your brand<\/em>, we suggest you put your logo as the profile picture. That way you’ll provide a more professional image to your audience. If you’re using your account for personal purposes<\/em>, we suggest using your own picture to “humanize” your identity. Remember that people look at your bio to decide whether or not they\u2019ll start following you<\/strong>. So, be clear and concise (and watch your spelling!).<\/p>\n

2. Define your audience<\/h2>\n

A key step in knowing what type of messages to generate<\/em> and later promote, is to clearly define your audience<\/strong>. In other words, you have to know who you’re directing your messages to<\/em>. You should definitely address this point before you start tweeting. It will help you come up with ideas for relevant content<\/em> for your followers and determine the tone<\/strong> you\u2019ll set in your tweets.<\/p>\n

3. Tweet relevant content (for your audience)<\/h2>\n

Once you’re clear who your Twitter audience is, you should be sure to share relevant tweets<\/strong>, ie, messages that have to do with your identity<\/em>, and with the profile and interests of your followers<\/em>. The idea is that your posts comply with the proposal made in your profile information<\/strong>. For example, if your account is a clothing brand, it will be more relevant to tweet about fashion, rather than on, let\u2019s say, architectural news.<\/p>\n

Tweeting relevant content<\/strong> will help your fans better understand who you are and be able to identify with you. For ideas on what to share<\/em>, you should look up references in your field, follow them, and order them in lists for easy access. That way you’ll be up to date with their content and can easily share it with your followers.<\/p>\n

(BONUS TIP)<\/strong> How to create lists on Twitter:<\/strong> It\u2019s actually super simple! From your account, just go to “Profile and Settings<\/strong><\/em>“, which pops up after clicking on the thumbnail of your profile picture (on the top right of the site). Then, click on the option Lists. You’ll see the button “Create New List<\/strong><\/em>“. Once you click there, you can enter the name and description of your list. Finally, just add the users who will make up the list, by using the box “Find people to add to your list<\/strong><\/em>“. Voil\u00e0!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Be Active<\/h2>\n

If anything characterizes Twitter, it\u2019s the fact that it’s so dynamic<\/em>. Its active users are constantly tweeting. They\u2019re also connecting from their mobile devices at very specific times of the day, depending on the public. For that reason, it’s important to stay active and take advantage of those certain times when your users are connected to the network. An outdated profile reduces the interest of viewers and lowers the odds of gaining followers. What matters on Twitter is being fresh and new<\/strong>. That\u2019s means your profile must always be up to date<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

To help you tweet every day and multiple times a day, we recommend using Postcron<\/a><\/strong>. Our app allows you to schedule posts on Twitter<\/strong> that will be posted for weeks or even months ahead of time. Thus, in one day of work you can make sure that you have tweets for each and every day and even at different times throughout the day.<\/p>\n

5. Set a successful tweet at the top of your profile<\/h2>\n

When a person sees a profile on Twitter, the first thing they see are the last two tweets that were published on it. Fortunately, Twitter provides a feature that allows users to set a representative or successful tweet at the top of their profile<\/strong>. This prevents people from seeing recent tweets that didn’t represent the spirit of the brand or the owner of the account. That\u2019s why, we recommend setting a successful tweet on top of your profile<\/strong>. It will definitely benefit your image and help the audience know what your Twitter proposal is all about.<\/p>\n

6. Use hashtags properly<\/h2>\n

As you know, hashtags<\/em> are the labels of Twitter to index content and help users find the conversations they\u2019re looking for. It’s important that you use them in your tweets, but you have to do it carefully, taking into consideration each of your objectives:<\/p>\n
