How to get 1000 more Twitter followers: BNI Tip of the week

 

We got asked by HARO to send in advice to this journalist John Brandon

  • Post a ratio of 8 retweets to 2 original tweets [Guy Kawasaki’s tip].
  • Post your original tweets 3 times per day at different times to take advantage of timezones when different people are online.
  • Most people in business look to Twitter to get tips, hints and links to interesting articles.
  • Stay in your niche and share relevant links that are meaninful for your audience.
  • Follow and RT people in the tweet chats – it’s an easy way to get new followers who understand Twitter and will RT your observations.  #B2BChat is a good one I go to #BlogChat is another one that has a huge membership.
  • Go through your Linked In connections and follow the ones who have Twitter listed [sadly I think this is a manual job].
  • Note which ones get the most RTs or replies.
  • Analyse the type of message in these tweets and create more of the same to encourage greater engagement.
  • If you write an article for them they usually tweet it.  Their audience is larger than yours.  I write for AgencyPost.com and Business2Community for these reasons.

Good news is John is now at 4439 followers today – so only 560 to go to his target.  

Any other suggestions?
