The most burning question on the lips of every Twitter user is “How To Get More Twitter Followers?” If you have probably already know, the top users have in excess of 100,000 followers and some have even topped 1 million followers. The one thing to remember is that many of these users are either celebrities in the offline world or have great popularity online. However, that’s not to say that you cannot achieve that level of followers, because you can. You just have to know how to do it right.
If you’re a newbie and want to get a lot of followers, then the one thing that you must know is that there exists something called Twitter etiquette. These are not formal nor official rules but if you follow these, then you can gain a better profile on Twitter. In addition, by understand the etiquette you can know how to get more Twitter followers.
Etiquette Principle
The main principle of this Twitiquette (portmanteau of Twitter and etiquette) is the following: “If I follow you, you follow me back and vice versa.” Sounds simple, right? It is!
All it simply means is that if you want people to follow you and become followers, you have to follow them first and become their followers. On average, 40% of the people you follow on Twitter will be kind enough to follow you back. So let’s say, you want to 40 people to follow you back, you would then have to follow 100 people. You can then simply unfollow the ones who didn’t follow you back.
While this is a very simply concept to understand, many people take advantage of it and take it to extremes. What I mean is that they start following thousands upon thousands of people in such a short space of time with the hope that a lot of them will follow them back. However, Twitter interprets this as suspicious and typically proceeds to suspend your account. You certainly do not want this to happen to you because it’s not a pleasant experience.
So, all in all, if you want to learn how to get more Twitter followers, you simply have to follow people but do it in a safe and orderly manner.
