How can you build popularity through Twitter social media marketing? By gaining followers. And how to gain followers? By becoming the follower of someone so that they also follow you, and by using the “@” attribute to address someone directly and make them follow you in return.
Once you’ve build your followers list, you can broaden your Twitter usage horizon by enhancing your popularity on social news sites. Here are some ways to get started:
1. Maintain Unity between Your Username and Avatar
Many social news sites offer their members an opportunity to use avatars and usernames to distinguish them from the others. Similarly, when you sign up with Twitter, try using the same usernames and avatars as you are for your social news profile. This is a good way to capture people who already know you on other platforms.
2. Use Twitter to Find Users Interested In the Same Social Site as You
Use Twitter search option to find users who are talking about the social site you’re interested in joining. All you have to do is type the social site name in the Twitter search box and find a list of active users liking the same social sites as you do.
3. Search Users on Other News Sites Also Linking With Twitter
This technique is similar to the previous one but instead of Twitter it involves searching Google for users on other social sites who also have a twitter profile. For instance if you want to find DIGG users also linking to Twitter, enter: site: digg.com/users twitter into the search engine bar and you’ll find a number of Twitter plus Digg users who you can follow.
4. Linking To Twitter From Everywhere
If you have profiles on other social networks like Facebook, or have a website or a blog, make sure to link them with Twitter profile. This action will help people become your followers by tracking those links.
5. Make Your Blog Readers Your Followers
If you have a blog with a decent amount of readership, ask readers to follow you on Twitter if they like your articles and blog posts. This aspect will enhance your Twitter presence, which in turn will increase your profile popularity. If you don’t have a blog yet, consult your internet marketing company to create one for you.
6. Follow Your Followers
If any of your Twitter users are popular and active, go to their fan following lists and follow the same people as they are trailing. This will enhance your list of Twitter friends and ultimately gain popularity for yourself.
7. Ask Provoking Questions
One silent-killing technique to raise your popularity is by starting an interesting question which your twitter friends will respond to, making their list of friends take interest as well and become your followers.
8. Don’t Spam, Be Valuable!
Don’t spam Twitter by posting your links and advertising your messages all day long. Bring value to your profile by involving in discussions, responding back to people and welcoming your new followers personally. This is the right way to earn long-lasting popularity.
9. Introduce URL Along With Title
If you’re sharing a link on twitter that is longer than the desired characters, it’ll be condensed using tinyurl option. This way no one will be able to guess what your link is about, making it less likely for them to click. To avoid this, write your link title first and then give the link.
10. Use URL Shorteners to Reduce Annoyance
For gaining more fame on multiple social news sites, you’ll simultaneously post the same link on every social site, making your friends irritated. Instead, use URL shorteners to create a short URL for tweeting long links and making your landing page excitiong with different buttons and badges for easy submission and voting.
