My Tips: Include links to your profile in email/forum signatures. Evangelize Twitter on your blog/other blogs and include a link to your profile. Connect your blog and other social media profiles to your Twitter page. Learn to pitch Twitter influencers with articles relevant to their interest Explicitly ask another user to recommend your profile or exchange recommendations.
RT - Interesting tweets, tweet during business hours, publicize your twitter profile. What is it anyway?
The best way is to follow people from your niche and to what i have found they usually follows you. You can use some software to do it..
Search related companies in your niche, then add each person following them. This works for me great,as a lot of people are very passionate about that niche. Hope this helps!
The key is to build a strong and effective following. What benefit does it provide you if you have 5,000 followers but only 50 actually care about what you're saying. You can build a massive following quickly but it won't be effective. As others have already mentioned, find those that are in your niche and find people that are talking about the same things you're talking about. Start there and grow from there. I would recommend that you don't just start following random people. That's not effective.
I personally tested recently for my new site! that if you post more among your few followers you get new followers at your every new post made @ twitter
there are now softwares, apps that can me you filter tweeter users depending on what niche your targeting. the best way is follow them then unfollow all tweeter users that doesn't follow you. you can also post interesting tweets about your product and target your niche.
1) Put links to your Twitter profile everywhere 2) Follow the top twitter users 3) Include links to your profile in email/forum signatures. 4) use #hashtags- search.twitter.com you get the list the hot trending topics. Just look for the #hash topics and get on with the conversation. 5) Follow everyone who follows you. Make it a habit that when someone follows you – follow them in return. 6) Regularly unfollow people who haven’t followed you back. 7) Retweet like mad 8) Use all 140 characters not less 9) Don’t talk about yourself only, tweet about others as well.
This is a great idea, many people visits their profile daily plus some automatic bots as well. So as u will be listed there. You will have better chance to be noticed. I would also add use twitter search Benefit is u can easily find active people with ur niche.
