Twitter Tip: 7 Steps to Get People to Follow You on Twitter

1) Add a Profile picture.

It should be a close up of your face if it is your personal account or a company log if it is a business account.

2) Set up a custom background

. This can be done with the twitter profile settings or at a site like Twitbacks to create a custom looking background. You can also upload a picture, yet be sure to not click repeate and have it be a big size like 2048px wide by 1707 px tall so it fills even new wide screens.

3) Set up your Bio with your keywords seperated by commas.

If it is a personal account just list your hobbies and favorite activities in word format instead of sentences. If you are in busines, use keywords that people will use to find you and follow you. I use SEO, Internet Marketing, Blogging, and Social Media Marketing. It could also include a bit of personal infomrmation like , hiking, biking, running, cooking, guitar, piano, Mom, Dad, knitting, shoes or whatever you are into and want people to find you for.

4) Tweet on a regular basis.

Tweeting your favorite quotes with a hash tag of #quotes and be sure to include the author of the quote. Mix it up and tweet about what you are doing, ask questions that you need answers for, retweet others tweets that you think your followers will enjoy reading. one way to retweet is to copy the tweet and then past it in your tweet window and add a RT in front of the tweet and add a @ in front of the name of the person you are retweeting. You can see an example in my twitter stream over on the right.

5) Do not post a lot of links to stuff for sale.

If you want to sell stuff be sure to only have about 2 of ten tweets be links to stuff for sell. TO improve the chance someone will buy what you tweeted about send the tweet to your blog or website so they can read a review about the product or learn more about it rather than just sending them to a sales page. It will improve you conversions.

6) Do not keep tweeting the same thing over and over.

Some of my followers tweet about how to get your teeth whitnened for free every few hours. How boring, I do choose not to follow these people back.

7) Have fun and be your self.

You will enjoy tweeting more and your followers will get to know you and your personality.
