Seven Steps to Success on Twitter

Note: It you are starting new Twitter accounts; you must grow the updates to at least 50 tweets before you can add more than 500 followers a day.

Note: DO NOT use Twitter to just spam your link. Use it to hit a target audience that you can truly bring value to with your product/service

Note: Before Starting Account; know who you want to reach as your target audience and find the top people in that field and follow them. Learn from them. Then you can use their followers and start following them.

STEP 1 - Setting up your profile
- A good picture of you; make it fun; smile
- An interesting bio; can be funny or curiosity driven; ask yourself why would people
follow you and use the answer in your bio
- Put your website address
- Make sure “Protect My Updates” is NOT checked
- Change the background
- Set up custom background

STEP 2 – Have a website that has a way to funnel your leads to a product / service
- I’m not going into this but its VERY vital; it’s more important to getting traffic

STEP 3 – Follow the top people in your field of expertise. Learn from their twitter pages.
- Add around 10 people that have a large following and you want to target
- Install and use twiping
- Type in the expert and you can view their followers
- Don’t mass follow more than 500 / day

STEP 4 – After 5 days or so; you should have 2,000 people you are following and maybe a few hundred followers
- At this point you can’t get past 2,000 unless you have a 1:1 ratio
- use twiping to unfollow
- Here you can unfollow everyone that isn’t following you

STEP 5 – Repeat Steps 3 and 4

Ok, now it’s time to get serious about being a pro on twitter

STEP 6 Use twitterfeed and put real automatic content into your tweets
- Make sure you have a google account
- Go to google news and search for news that will go with what you are doing and what will interest others but not defer the attention away from yourself
- Copy the rss feed line in the code you get from google into twitterfeed

STEP 7 Use Twollo
- This allows you to automatically add people each day that post any of the keywords you are looking for in their tweets

 

Having 2,000 people in 5 days would mean you need to follow 400 people a day which is considered mass following. Twitter will suspend your account for that. Also, using tools that allow you to automatically follow hundreds of people can also get you banned. Read Twitter's terms of service.

 

I did that, and found that Twitter was pointless because I couldnt build relationship with anyone because I had 5,000 people I was following and you cant keep up with their tweets.

 

Well, if you are a company or website, why would you want to be able to follow 5,000? You need people to follow you and not you to follow them. Just ignore those people or unfollow them but then you may also lose some of your followers.

 

great tips....

 

Hmmm, another twitter thread.

I think this method is mediocre at best.

Cheers.

 

I agree with this. In twitter you have to take advantage of having relevant tweets in order to gain more followers. One thing that is very important is a quality link in order to achieve success.

 

Good tips bro

 

Thank you for those tips

 

thank you!

 

Thank you for these tips.

 

Thanks for this tips. it ll be helpful for working on twitter.

 

Definately, I'd like to look into Twitter and Facebook for more traffic. I have already set up a stumble upon account and will try some forum posting.

 

Hi,

Some things may work and some may not, however if I get someone following me who is following 52654557496 people and only has posted 3 tweets.....

Best regards,

José

 

Thanks for the tips. Twitter is a great effective tool for marketing. I usually make a point to follow the people who are following the people that I want to follow. This gives me even greater exposure.

 

Twitter has been the "wave" for the past few months and I still haven't really got up on it.

Maybe it's time to start..

 

Twitter is the shitter. Focus your efforts on SEO and building organic traffic, you will thank me later.

 

This tip is great. In my eyes, the appearance is important. The unique or nice appearance can gain people's attention. Also, if you write something interesting in your twitter, for example, the interesting bio, can make people interested in you and urge them to want to make friends with you.

 

Thanks for the post. I have not really gotten into twitter yet, but if I do, this will surely be helpful!

 

I have around 800 followers but i am not getting any traffic from twitter.
