    First create a good and reliable profile then follow many people as you can since they might follow you back and then post relevant and excellent post to attract people to follow you.

    Ten Ways To Increase Your Twitter Followers:

    1. Explain to your followers what retweeting is and encourage them to retweet your links. Retweeting pushes your @username into foreign social graphs, resulting in clicks back to your profile. Track your retweets using retweetist.
    2. Fill out your bio. Your latest tweets and @replies don’t mean much to someone that doesn’t know you. Your bio is the only place you have to tell people who you are. Also, your bio is displayed on Twitter’s Suggested Users page. Leaving it blank or non-descriptive doesn’t encourage people to add you.
    3. As @garyvee says, “link it up.” Put links to your Twitter profile everywhere. Link it on your Digg, LinkedIn, Facebook, blog, email signature, and everywhere else you live online. Also, check out the great feedburner-like badges from TwitterCounter for your blog.
    4. Tweet about your passions in life and #hash tag them. Quality content coupled with an easy way to find it never fails. If others enjoy your content, they’ll add you. Learn more about #hash tagging here.
    5. Bring your twitter account into the physical world. Every time I give a talk, speak on a panel, shoot a podcast, present slides, or hand out business cards, I figure out a way to broadcast or display my twitter account.
    6. Take pictures. Pictures are heavily retweeted/spread around. This one from US Airways Flight 1549 has been viewed 350,000+ times. For mobile pics use iPhone apps such as Tweetie or Twitterific, both which support on the go uploading.
    7. Start a contest. @jasoncalacanis offered a free macbook air if he reached the #1 most followed spot. That never happened, but Jason added thousands of followers…brilliant.
    8. Follow the top twitter users and watch what they tweet. Pay attention to the type of content they sent out and how they address their audiences.
    9. Reply to/get involved in #hash tag memes. search.twitter.com lists the hot ‘trending topics. Look for the #hash topics and jump in on the conversation (see #4 for links to #hash instructions).
    10. Track your results. TwitterCounter will show you how many new users you’re adding per day and Qwitter will email you when someone unfollows you after a tweet.

    I cannot see any useful suggestions here :) Looks like people don't use twitter.
    I agree with posting more in a small period of time but the posts matter themselves. You must include # and @ all the time, othervise your posts will sink in billions of posts that run through twitter daily.

    Nice trick, the thing with Twitter is not only the content, but the timing, if your followers are 8 hours behind GMT, posting at 8 a.m. they will be unlikely to see it

    The only thing that I actually do to get followers is tweeting. Everyone I follow, followed me first and than I followed back. Most of my tweets include #hashtags. This way people that aren't following you but follow a certain keyword will see your tweet. On a new twitter account (my 2nd one) I gained about 800 followers this way in about 2 month. I tweet about every 30 to 40 minutes around the clock. Now when you look at other twitter accounts with thousands of followers the 800 followers doesn't seem much, but most of my followers decided to follow me because of what I tweeted.

    I personally do not recommend twiends.com. Yes you can build a large amount of followers quickly, but lots of them will follow you for the credits/seeds they are getting for following you. Many of those followers will quickly disappear and unfollow you. Of course not all will, but my point is that people following you via twiends aren't that much interested in what you tweet about.

    If you want to grow your followers base, tweet on a regular basis, use #hashtags and follow back.
