    Hi

    I have 10,000 customers from my website but only a handful of twitter followers. How do I increase my Twitter followers?

    Just promote your twitter feed on your mainpage. So more people will start following, maybe explain a little about the feed and the use for your customers.

    Keep on following people in your targeted area that may be of interest to your website and provide them with useful updates.

    Loco.M - no it is my experience that you get about 15% that follow you back. 30% at most.

    Try to have more followers than you are following - it gives off the impression that you are of importance amongst the communities.

    Add a widget to your website/blog - and update it regularly. A simple tweet just lets people know you are there, it doesnt have to be high valuable content each and every time.

    Spend the time to add relevant people though, you do not need numbers just for the sake of numbers on twitter these days, its not like how it was when it first started and there was a mad rush to have as many random followers as possible.

    You have 10, 000 customers give them an incentive to follow you ... Give Promotion codes for discounts to your followers etc. that would be best way to gain followers. Communicate with your potential customers and present customers through search.twitter.com just enter your companies name see if anyone is talking about you guys or simply enter name of products you promote or competitors name and see the search results you get and HELP people out.

    Good suggestion! Also the old Twitter adage: Engage high-profile profiles in engaging conversation :) Although following masses might kickstart your new Twitter profile a good ratio can be a big selling point when people are deciding whether or not to follow you.

    You definitely should be sure that your tweets are of value to your followers, not just an automated link to your recent posts or articles. They'll just tune you out if you don't add anything personal or unique.

    You have to start searching the peoples relete to your best niche after creating your profile properrly. Just interect more and more and also follow more proples and repeat this process again and again balancing your ratio of followers and followings.

    One way to get more followers is to push out great content. Be sure to send out tweets that are news-worthy. You need to have a steady stream of interaction on twitter if you want your followers to head to your website. Interacting with fans and the community is a key strategy. You can use some tools also like WeFollow to find your niche and follow them and just post continue interesting and informative for your followers.
