Twitter has evolved from a way to tell people what you had for breakfast into a powerful marketing tool. If that is something that interests you, the first thing you'll want to do is amass a huge list of followers. These steps will show you how. 1. Create a great Twitter bio. One of the key factors in whether or not people decide to follow you is the quality of the information in your bio. If you have a relevant website, be sure to include the URL. You only have 160 characters, as opposed to the 140 allowed in tweets, so use them well. 2. If you're new to Twitter, create about 10 or so interesting tweets before looking for followers. You have to give people a reason to want to follow you. 3. Links to interesting websites, articles and videos make great tweets. Because the URLs will be too long for Twitter, you'll need to create a short version. You can do this at tinyurl.com. Copy the long link and paste it into the appropriate window there and it will generate a short link that is suitable for Twitter. 4. You can also tweet quotations that are inspiring or funny. Search the Web using the word "quotes" to find sites that offer them. 5. Search YouTube for videos that relate to your topic or area of expertise, then tweet about them. 6. When you read interesting tweets, re-tweet them to your followers. When you do this, the person you re-tweeted may repay the favor by re-tweeting your tweets to their followers. Some of them may then decide to follow you. 7. Join the conversation. Reply to other people's tweets, give them a compliment or thank them for sharing. These people may also decide to send you @ messages, which will also make their followers aware of you. 8. Thank people who re-tweet you. Just hit the reply button and send a thank-you note. If you don't thank them, at least some of the time, they will probably stop re-tweeting you and stop following you. 9. Become active on Follow Friday. Each Friday, recommend some of your favorite tweeters to your followers by typing in #FollowFriday or #FF and then their Twitter handle, such as @JaneSmith. Others will do the same for you. This is a great way to get more Twitter Followers. 10. Read the rules of service and obey them. Don't become "aggressive" about following and un-following people. Doing so could get your account suspended. 11. Try to limit the number of marketing tweets you post. You should do about 10 regular tweets for every marketing one. About the Author:
