How to increase followers on Twitter? It’s a question that many have asked themselves, despite the fact that first of all you should take care of the quality of your news flow and tweets , without looking at the numbers. But it is human nature to “measure” and always want more, so today I try to identify some ways to increase the number of your followers and interactions with other users on Twitter through “good practices” and a few tricks.
The basics First of all it is important
To set up your account with a bio that describes you, in an original way perhaps, going into the niche of things/topics that concern you and inserting a link to your site. Don’t have a site? You can build your presentation/CV online for free in 5 minutes or link your LinkedIn page. Done? Let’s continue then… Hashtags, links and images: how and when to use them? Too often we see tweets composed only of a link, without a caption, or some disconnected and decontextualized phrase, without a hashtag. Well, the most complete formula for a tweet that does not insert itself into a dialogue already started could be text + link + hashtag (not necessarily in this order).
Of course, that part of the text is fundamental :
8 out of 10 people stop at the title you give to your tweet, without clicking . However, if you create intriguing texts, the click rate increases by 73% … It is also essential to insert some sensible and user-searched hashtags, to show up in searches of people who are interested in the same topics as you. But how many hashtags should you iran email list use for each tweet? Links and images within a tweet: are they really necessary? Let’s look at some numbers…
1 According to “Who Is Hosting This,” if you use one or two hashtags per tweet , you’ll get 21% more engagement than if you use three or more tweets. 2 Tweets with a link in them are 86% more likely to be retweeted than tweets without a link. Source: Buffer App. 3Tweets with an image in them get twice as much interaction on average as tweets without images. According to Jeff Bullas, the numbers are even higher when it comes to images.
Tweets with images received 89% more favorites
Tweets with images received 18% more clicks than those without Tweets with images received 150% more retweets Tweet A LOT It’s no mystery, I’m discovering hot water: the more you tweet, the more followers you get . For 2 months I did a little experiment: I tweeted about double my (poor) daily average. I monitored the progress with the free tool Twtrland and the results proved me right: +40% weekly follower growth (average trend) Each tweet was not random (I didn’t spam, I swear!): it was accompanied by the most appropriate hashtags and chosen on the basis of interesting links and considerations that I found here and there, on web marketing. >
Help yourselves: automate
I automated my tweets a little, to help me manage my time : every morning, thanks to preset RSS feeds on different topics of interest to me, I monitored new interesting articles and scheduled them via Buffer App , a really useful tool for scheduling your Social updates with one click. In 5 minutes I scheduled entire days of tweets… > Tweet – Follower Ratio It’s difficult to make a precise estimate, but a Be evolve survey confirms building relationships with audiences the correlation between tweets and followers tweet follower ratio Interact It’s not enough to tweet like crazy : try to interact and talk to other users, to avoid building an impersonal stream of tweets and to really “network”.
There is no shortage of basic tools to do this: replies
Retweets, favorites and FF (#FF indicates Follow Friday, or the users you suggest everyone follow, as they are worthy of attention). Followback? Surely following other users in the hope that they will follow you back can also work, even if it is not a cmo email list practice that brings long-term results nor is it advisable. A much more suitable alternative could be to follow users with whom you already have a relationship , perhaps on other Social Media.
How? For example on Linke din … > Click on Network in your Linke din menu –> Click on Contacts –> Click on Export Connections (at the bottom of the page, on the right) Once this is done, transfer the list in .CSV that you have obtained to your email manager (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc..) and within Twitter click on Find Friends , thus connecting your email account in which you have reported the Linkedin connections. By doing this you will be able to choose who to follow on Twitter too.
