How to collect real followers on Twitter

This article is something that everyone should read, whether you are just starting out or already have numerous followers who enjoy what is known as tweeting.

Twitter can be used as an extremely good marketing tool or just as a social networking tool that you can use to let friends and family know what you are doing.

There are no real secrets on collecting real followers and you will only gain as many followers as you truly deserve. It can and will take some hard work and marketeers should be warned that you will not get followers by simply adding new quotes every 2 minutes, there are enough of those on twitter and we really do not need anymore.

To start with you should always look to your friends and family. These are the easiest followers to get on board as you do not need to sell them anything. You know them, they know you and should be happy joining in to help you out. This first step would hopefully bring you at least ten to twenty followers. This is an important first step as others will tend to follow if they feel there are enough others to warrant the following on process.

Tweets are little messages that can be upto 149 characters long, seems a lot but they go very quickly. Each tweet you send should be of interest to a specific and unique group of individuals. Sending a message to the masses about a little rock will not get you anywhere fast.

The best way would be to use twitter as a form of private online diary, somewhere that you can type your little bits of news each day if you have something interesting to say. A good example may be:

“Just woke up to radio 1. Football boots still not clean from Saturday. They can wait. Eggy bread for brekky I think :) ”.

You will notice a few key words in the message whilst it also mentions what is going to happen and the overall feeling. See happy :)

This in itself will not guarantee you millions of followers but it is a start and it might just start a big bandwagon of other followers who want to know more about you and your eggy bread. You may even want to tweet again later to say you burnt you breakfast because you are not a great cook. These types of tweets on a constant but not immediate basis will quickly gain you interest from others who will want to know what happens to your boots or which football team you may play for.

A major key factor is not to bore your potential followers to death by creating the same message over and over again. Boring those sat next to you in a restaurant only results in those sat next to moving elsewhere which is not what twitter was designed for.

Do not feel disheartened if, after a week or two your popularity does not increase, like a big puzzle it will take time, if you continue to provide your life story live and as it happens then you will receive a mass following that will grow steadily on a monthly basis. Patience is an important tool in doing so and you may well give up after a few weeks if your heart is not really in it.

When it comes to marketing on twitter you again do not want to be tweeting the same message over and over again but provide your readers and potential new readers with something useful that may need. This way they will keep an eye on you to see what else may be offered in the future. Advertising has been proved fruitless if it is just pushed onto possible leads, like brainwashing it only works on a very minority few and is not worth the time in the long run.

As an example you may be wanting to advertise the best online bookmakers as a project or subject. When tweeting on specifics be exactly that. Be specific and offer something different each time. A tip, better odds, a mistake at the bookmakers that could be taken advantage of even. Do not repeat yourself a hundred times in one day, not only is it spam but it will not do you any favours.

The following pointers below are a brief insight into what you should be doing, if you follow it you will be a winner.

1) Be patient.

2) Tweet only unique information.

3) Do not bore your followers.

4) Provide something useful with each tweet.

5) Tell everyone what you are doing.

6) Do not spam.

This will not guarantee you thousands of followers but it will certainly help you on your way. If stuck to closely it will help you in a bigger way than you can imagine.
