Since starting to use Twitter more regularly I’ve been asked by quite a few readers for tips on how to grow the numbers of Twitter Followers. Today I’m going to give a few tips on how I’ve grown my own Twitter Follower numbers up over 5500 in the last few months:

Do you have an existing online profile somewhere outside of Twitter (big or small)? Use it to springboard into Twitter. If it’s a blog, mention that you’re using Twitter in a post and link to it from your profile and contact pages. If you’re on Facebook use one of the numerous tools available to drag in your Tweets to facebook. Add it to your email signature, business card, mention it in interviews or guest posts that you might do…. etc. The same applies with any online (or even offline) presence that you have - link to your Twitter page and link to it often (if you’d like to connect with me on Twitter my feed is here).
