New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Have you ever thought about how much time you spend on social media? You might be surprised to find out that the average person spends around two hours per day. This is because we live in a world where information and people's attention are constantly accessible regardless of what device we have with us. Without social media, it would be hard to stay connected and up-to-date with friends, family, celebrities or brands.
Some people think that having many followers on Twitter is just luck. However, there are ways to increase your following by using some simple tricks like tweeting interesting content (which can include things like funny videos from YouTube) as well as interacting with other users who follow you back. If you need help increasing your followers, here are a few tips you could use.
Influencers and services
The next thing that you could be doing would be to use influencers, and on Twitter, there are around 20,000 based in the US alone. If you need a reason to use an influencer, a little less than half of Twitter users bought something simply because an influencer tweeted about it. This is probably because a lot of people have money to buy things, but don't know what to buy as a result of there being so much to choose from.
Another option that is at your disposal is to use a growth service, such as Twesocial to buy Twitter followers. More than that, Twesocial will actually take control of your account to engage with Twitter users to increase your followers, meaning that all you have to do is focus on creating content.
Be visual
One simple method to get more Twitter followers, that many users forget to do, is to post visual content. Although Twitter was created to post word-based tweets, many users now find this to be very boring. A lot of people using Twitter are using it to be entertained when they are bored, when they have a few minutes to spare, or right before going to bed.
This means that you should focus on creating and posting content that is designed to be entertaining. One such form of content that is very popular are memes and videos. Videos receive a lot of engagement in terms of comments, whereas memes receive a lot of retweets.
Post at the best times
Twitter is home to around 186 million users, which come from all around the world. This means that a large portion of your follower base are probably in a different time zone than you, which means that when you tweet, many posts are probably being missed.
In addition to posting often, at least twice a day, you should also make it an objective to find out where your followers come from. One way you could do this is to keep an eye on your posts and when they get the most engagement. This will give you an idea as to when to post. The reason you should post at least twice a day is so that you can make your posts visible to as many of your followers as you can.
Engage
If you are doing all of the abovementioned tips and are still not gaining more followers, then it might be time for you to engage. Engaging is great because it gets your username out there, and the best way to engage would be to either comment on tweets, or engage in Twitter chats.
Commenting on posts works really well because if your comment is constructive or entertaining, users will check your profile out. If you have a lot of content and tweets on your profile, then the chances of that user following you are much higher.
Use hashtags
The first thing you should do to increase your Twitter followers would be to use hashtags with each of your posts. Hashtags are great to use, firstly because they are free, and secondly because they help you to expand your reach and have your content be seen by more people. Hashtags make it easy for followers to find your content, whether they are looking for it or not, since when a user searches for a hashtag, they have a chance to find your content if you use that hashtag.
You should do some research to find out which hashtags receive the most searches, and which ones generate the most engagement.
