7 Ways To Get More Twitter Followers Like A Celebrity
Twitter has seen a huge surge in popularity, and the more followers you have, the more you are looked up to and seen as an authority. However there are other factors that are at play when attempting to get more twitter followers.
Don’t just assume that because you have 2,000 followers on Twitter that your business will boom. You need to get the right followers and do the right things to get more Twitter followers that will actually be a benefit to you. Don’t get fooled into just adding bunches of random people and hoping for the best.
1. Don’t Be A Selfish Tweeter.
Even though you most likely signed up to Twitter to help grow your business or network of colleagues, don’t just toot your own horn in every post. None of the biggest stars on Twitter do this. Sure you can plug your own services and products from time to time- but don’t talk about yourself in every tweet. Unless you are Brad Pitt, people don’t really want to hear constant stories about your biz and it won’t get more Twitter followers.
2. Mention Other Users Directly.
When you send out a random Tweet, nobody takes as much notice as if the Tweet was directed at them personally. When you fire out your next Tweet, don’t think about how you can get more twitter followers, mention somebody else in your message with the “@” function and thank them or recommend their product, or just say sumpthin nice. This is a great way to get more peeps to start following you.
This also has two benefits – first is that it shows your followers you communicate with others and are friends with people more “Twitter fabulous” than you, second, it gets you some good connections which is what Twitter is really good for.
3. Don’t be a Cry Baby.
Unless you are in the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, nobody really wants to read emotional or dramatic posts. The business world is one where only people who are positive and optimistic can survive, and if people see that you are a negative influence even in the slightest, they will cut you off.
On the other hand, don’t be one of those people always proclaiming love and happiness from their deity of choice and over the top with spirituality (unless this is your brand)– give people something useful or thought provoking to read. Focus on contributing to the world and you will naturally get more Twitter followers.
4. Be A Walking Billboard For Others.
When you find something that really interests you, share it on Twitter and name the author or source. Share cool things that other people have made, not just things you have made. Just learned a new fact? Great – some other people might love to know it. This is what stars and big companies always do for each other, however in the beginning, you gotta do it for free to get more Twitter followers. Sure when you have got 500k followers you might be asked to endorse products and get paid, but at the start just do it out of the goodness of your heart.
5. Don’t Be A Faker.
There are so many of the same people on Twitter, doing and selling the same thing. Change it up a bit – if you are secretly and incredibly lazy and happen to love pizza, don’t pretend to be some super productive health junkie. This will not get you more Twitter followers because people can spot a fake a mile off! Just be who you are! Be the bad- for -you food junkie who stands out from the rest!
6. Don’t Pump and Dump.
Some marketing strategies for getting a whole lot of followers revolve around a method of following a lot of people in the hope that they will follow you, then un-following (dump) them all. (I actually just read about this and thought it was crazy!), supposedly, this gives the appearance that you hold guru like status and are highly revered. This is short term however, and a cheeky way to get an apparently God like status. It can give you the appearance that you get more Twitter followers than people who follow you, but do this at your own risk, there may be some repercussions. It’s tacky and rude to say the least!
7. Be The Expert.
Sure Kim Kardashian isn’t an expert at anything that we can see, (oops, did I say that?!) however, she is hot & famous, which is more than enough to get more Twitter followers than your average Twit, Lol. If you are just on Twitter to showcase your day with your friends and you want to get more followers, unless you are ridiculously good looking or super funny, you need to have something to offer.
Whether you are just really good at programming or know how to build 8 pack abs – you need to have something awesome to offer your followers. Drop random knowledge bombs and hacks for people to help them in their business and you will get people thanking you and mentioning you all the time- all of this helps to get you more of those bomb Twitter followers.

Great post on how to get more Twitter followers…. When I first got started on Twitter I used to be selfish, thinking why should I share another person’s content. … Since I started RT daily and also doing @mentions .. I am getting more followers!
Great tips April!! I love that you mentioned the “dumping” because I see many doing this and not just on Twitter. It’s actually quite annoying and you’re right, it’s rude. Love how your posts are so helpful. Thanks for sharing!
