Use Engaging Tweets to Increase Retweets
One of our readers recently asked us how they could get their tweets retweeted. There’s a lot of advice out there, but one that we found most helpful was to create content that others will want to share with their followers. The more people who read your content, like your tweets, or generally interact with you on Twitter, means more opportunities for your tweets to be retweeted by others. Engaging tweets are those that keep people reading, clicking through to other sites, or simply interacting with you on Twitter. This is also where having an engaging profile picture comes in handy! A good profile picture can make all the difference in getting someone to click over from your tweet into your profile. Even if they don’t follow you right away, at least they know what your account looks like. For example, here are two tweets from @Active Campaign Build a Following Before Buying
If you already have a following before you buy some followers, then it is likely that they are worth more. If you do not already have followers, then it will be hard to say whether or not they are worth anything. Buying followers is a cheap way to quickly build your audience but it could backfire if you don’t go about it right. The best way to start growing your Twitter following organically is by engaging with people on social media. This can include retweeting their tweets, liking their posts, sharing content from other users as well as creating your own content. You should also interact with people who are interested in similar topics as you. When others see that you are interacting with them and taking an interest in what they have to say, they will be more inclined to follow you themselves because of how interesting you seem. To get started, try using free tools like Tweriod and Follower wonk to find out when your followers are online so you can tweet at them during peak hours. Also, use tools like Tweepi to unfollow inactive accounts and engage with new ones instead. By doing these things consistently over time, you will begin to gain new followers naturally without having to pay for any extra help.
