3 Steps to Quickly (and Easily) Increase Your Twitter Followers

If you could make a simple change on your website to get more Twitter followers, would you do it?

If you could think of something to say to what people say in the comments section on websites, and get free twitter followers, would you do it?

And if you could use a proven method of how to increase Twitter followers, would you do it?

These Strategies Work — No Matter What You’re Promoting!

Many know me for my expertise in Affiliate Marketing. Maybe you’ve listened to my podcast, the “Affiliate Buzz”, or have been introduced to me about marketing through Twitter, Facebook, or some of the many articles I’ve written on the subject.

I am the type of marketer who tries hard to avoid questionable techniques or strategies that could compromise my brand or my credibility.

Once you see these strategies laid out for you, it’s up to you to start putting them to use. Remember that it does not matter what you’re selling, whether it’s travel insurance, dental services, or Hillsdale stools, these strategies will work for you. The sooner you get started, the sooner you will see an increase in Twitter followers.

Proof That These Methods Really Worked

These three methods are the exact methods I’ve used to build my list of followers up to 5403. It happened naturally, easily, automatically and was without any grief.

And I want to share them with you today.

Did I mention that they were free methods? Yes. Totally free.

Of course, you will have to invest a little bit of time just to get them started, but after that, they run wild by themselves.

Ready for the techniques? Here we go.

3 Techniques You Really Should Consider to Increase Your Twitter Followers

Method 1. Reformat your thank you pages.

This one is a cinch.

If you’re like me you probably automatically redirected each new newsletter subscriber to your thank you page.

The idea here is to add an invitation to the thank you page to follow you on Twitter. It’s the perfect time to do so. You just gained enough of their confidence to subscribe so asking them to follow you on Twitter is a natural next step.

How easy was that?

I meant quick and easy when I told you that’s what I’d give you. This tip comes from Joshua Sloan, former Director of Online Marketing for the largest hosting company in the world, 1&1 Hosting.

Method 2. Treasure the Spot of Guest Writer

You know the funny thing about experts? They are never – or rarely – treasured by members of their community closest to them.

What I mean by this is that just because of familiarity, people around an expert start to discount his expertise. It’s crazy but true.

You can combat this by becoming a guest writer for other blogs and websites that are in your niche. All it takes is asking them if they accept guest writers and if they have any guidelines for what is written.

Here’s why it’s easy to write for these blogs and sites as a guest writer:

  1. You can easily set your mind to come up with ideas on what to write just by visiting the comments section on these blogs.
  2. At the end of what you write, ask them to follow you on Twitter. Give them a good reason to do so.
  3. When you tap into your knowledge to respond to the comments, the article flows easily and you realize you do have something to say.

Try it and see what happens. I’ll bet you will be pleasantly surprised.

Method 3. Start your own syndicated newspaper.

The third strategy is to syndicate your own online newspaper. It’s easy to do because it is based on a Twitter list, a user, or a keyword. You then select how often you would like it to be created and sent to your Twitters. I use the www.paper.li service to publish mine my editions, including my most recent entitled; The Guest Blogging Daily.

I love www.paper.li for a few reasons.

It offers a clean and modern layout, everything is automated, meaning your newspaper is generated and sent to your followers …all automatically.

You don’t have to anything else, and main contributing authors are mentioned and alerted in the tweet. In turn, you will find many contributors will start following you back and retweeting the newspaper to their own lists, so you can get even more followers.

This can happen to you. All you need to do is set-up your own newspaper. Paper.li makes it quick and easy to do …and did I mention the service is 100% FREE?

Isn’t this one the best tip ever? Do you know the importance of this in creating your brand and creating your business leads? It’s huge.

As someone who has been marketing online for over a decade, I wanted to share these three tips to bring you an ongoing stream Twitter followers. Twitter’s recently acquired TweetDeck software will make it EASY for you handle your followers.

I think you will agree. It doesn’t really matter what you’re selling; golf clubs, long distance services, or kitchen stools, these strategies can and will work for you. And the best thing is — these methods are free to implement and only take minimal time to perform.

I challenge you to go for them. See what you can accomplish! You will love the natural results!
