Free Updates Be the first to get new Marketing Gum articles. 21 Ways to Get More Followers on Twitter By Anna Gervai The title says it all really, so let's just get straight to the tips! Some of these you can do the moment you finish this article, some will take you a little more time or effort, but all of them are free to implement yourself. 1 -- EMAIL LINK Add a 'Follow me on Twitter' link to your email signature. People who know you personally or already engage with your company are more likely to follow you on Twitter. 2 -- INCREASE FREQUENCY Increase the frequency of your tweets. The best number of tweets per day is apparently over 20, but that is probably overkill for most of us. There is a correlation with the number of tweets and the number of followers. 3 -- 120 NOT 140 Being retweeted can help boost your followers so make sure you leave room in your tweets for the person retweeting you to add their comments. 120 is a good maximum even though Twitter allows for 140 characters. 4 -- BE CHARITABLE Donate an amount of money to a worthy, topical cause for every new Twitter follower you get before a certain date -- then tell everyone on Twitter you're doing it of course. Everyone wins :) 5 -- EMAIL MARKETI NG Make sure you include a clickable link and call to action to follow you on Twitter in your email
