Technically, Twitter is a type of tool to discover things, but we know that Twitter is a social networking site. If compare this platform with other social networking sites like Facebook, I found twitter is made for only getting users attention over external contents not the content of a tweet, similar to internet makreting. Followers for a business twitter profile is really everyone needs and that’s why businesses didn’t waste time in a free strategy to get followers, they just paid promote a tweet, profile and get more followers in a day/hour. Free strategy to grow followers is slightly different from paid strategy, but getting followers like a flood is not so tough for free strategy, you only need to repeat below tips and techniques till 1 week.

1. Follow Twitter Profiles

The most popular and free strategy to increase or get more twitter followers is just continue follow other profiles. For a new user, twitter always suggest some profiles related to the data found in their profile and all that suggested profiles you need to follow to increase your own profile visibility. In a page/email, twitter sends multiple profiles to you, don’t ignore suggestions, follow all profiles like in a bulk.

After, according to your interest, business, start search and follow profiles to twitter that you like in your real life, for example: If I interested in Technology, I sure first follow Tech companies like @google, @facebook, @microsoft and more, so twitter automatically serves to you some more tech related profiles to follow and this will never drop your strategy.Continue your follow strategy and see the results in less than a hour.

Also use a Twitter app in your smartphone to better follow profiles you’re interested.


2. Tweet, Retweet (RT), Mention and more

Twitter actually want to you to active always, but it’s not possible for working folks. When you keep use twitter features like: Retweet, Favorite, Mention and more, it means you are a regular user and your engagement and profile visibility will more grow in twitter. Many people use tools like Hootsuite to schedule tweets, this way you didn’t need to active regularly and you still active for twitter. Retweet is an easy way to get more engagement at once, for example: If you retweet a latest news with #hash tags then definitely you got many favorites on your tweet and these regular activities will make your engagement and followers up  and up!!

Posting a video, makes twitter to attention over your content and this way you can win the competition of engagement and profile visibility. Videos on social networking platforms are now considered as an informative content. Last week I saw on Facebook, a trailer of a movie got more views than same video on YouTube page. Here, the word ‘Interesting’ means your content should be informative, attractive, entertaining or related. Don’t bore your fans otherwise unfollow is not so far. Tweet types are like: Text, Image, Video, Link etc, always post in multiple types.

You know what!! popular and common hashtags pages are always active with so many users, and every time you tweet with common hashtags will make your tweet reach more users than your expectations. Some of the common tags you can think yourself like: #love, #tech, #science, #android and more.

Daily, you can find new trending discussions and becoming a part of that discussion is very easy, just click one of the discussion of the Trending section and see how users tweet with hashtags or without, then post about that topic with #hashtag or without and your tweet will reach more peoples.
