I know twiends grow your followers but are the followers really helpful to you? No they are just exchanging the following method. As you know twitter is the best platform for webmasters and bloggers to increase their popularity on web. So why not to increase your followers and getting most of twitter.
1. Short bio describes a lot
Many people completely left this box blank. They just type their name upload their photo and wait for people to follow them. Are they doing right? Absolutely no, Will you follow an unidentified people? I know that you are not going to follow such people, So always fill up your short bio box.
2. Follow only who lies in your category
If you follow those people who come in your category then the chances are more to get followers, did you know how?
Many people balance your personality with the people whom you follow. If you are a blogger then you should join these account @Mashable, @TechCrunch, HellBlog, etc. I am not giving all the accounts but at least you should join these faces.
3. Profile pic forces to follow
I know you can’t believe this, but this is true. Some people are attract on faces. I got a message from a lady who just send me a message after following me.
“Hey @Ifhamkhan I really don’t know who you are, but when I see your pic on twitter I really wanna follow you”
So why not to create your avatar attractive. Mostly High definition pic with clear faces attracts a lot. Don’t use your side photo in which your face not looking perfectly.
4. Tweet about your passions
Tweet only feeds which you really love. for example you got an awesome news from somewhere and you are happy with the news then just simple click on “tweet”. Your chances are higher to get more followers. If you love the article then it is sure that other also love that.
5. Your account on web
If you have website and blog then it is very necessary to put your twitter follow button on the top. You can also check the direct follow button released by Twitter, it will help people to follow you easily. Add your twitter handler on Email signature. Facebook profile and as many social network as you have.
These are the basic and attractive tips to get more follower on twitter. Let us know if you know one?

great tips man and you can even make use of list feature of twitter to find people to follow on your niche as well.
Glad you like this Acmeous
Great tips!
I believe, in the beginning talking about things which are interesting for other users as well, is necessary. I found several time when I tweet about technical matters, several people try to ignore, gradually those people start ignoring whatever you say. So its important to talk about things which are in general public interest helps your followers keep in touch.
I agree with #1 short bio. People want to read about you and get to know what kind of person you are. They would be more likely to follow you if they were able to know you better.
Twitter followers are a great source of getting unique visitors, so its always a problem to make more and more our twitter followers. Here seems to be useful and effective strategies for making much more twitter followers. Thanks for your experienced post.
will ifham will ry it for sure
Its really good to read this post man. i wonder now that where i was doing mistake. i added all people and friends who were not related to my category at all. damn man…
Well satish you are going right now!!!
Nice tips Ifham.. will try out some on my twitter account not having much followers as on it now..
I think Twiends and TwittFame are the two services that make getting new followers pretty easy. I usually login once a week and follow some of the interesting accounts that provide big seeds and then receive 3x the number of followers back. Pretty nice.
Hey Ifham,
Nice tips to get people follow on twitter.I think you are right that we should only follow those who fall in our category.I always follow people who like football that results in common interests.
Really, choosing the right person on twitter is the best way to get more followers
and thanks for the comment
Solid Twitter tips as always. If I can add something, I would suggest that you educate your readers about Twitter as well, because based on my experience you would be amazed how many people really have no clue. So, seeing the button doesn't guarantee an connection.
thanks for the tips, follow button is a must
Being active in twitter results in more followers. A genuine way to increase followers.
You can also follow industry leaders and opinion makers in your niche. A lot of people follow these people and some of them even end up following you.

Getting followers from Twiends makes no sense to me
Have you ever used a twiend to increase follower count? Do you think it's worth?
I have used twiends but it is worhtless
Natural way of getting follower is more targeted than getting follower by exhchange method
I too don't follow people who don't have their pic on twitter.
Yes that fair!!!
It's always great to follow person of your niche.
Hey Pradeep,
