Here are some tips to get more followers on Twitter and at the same time avoid annoying your Twitter followers: 1. Thank everyone who follows you, but don’t give them a sales pitch in the process. That leaves a very bad taste as the first communication you have with your new follower. Remember what your Mom said: “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.” She was a smart cookie – listen to her advice. Make your thanks unique, honest and non-commercial. 2. Don’t send stupid tweets. No, really. Listen to me on this one. If you send 10 tweets a day about how you are going to the store, walking your dog and washing your hair, you will lose followers, period. Don’t do it. It makes your tweets seem like a really boring reality show. 3. Don’t send excessive tweets, no matter what the topic. If you send endless tweets all day long, people will start avoiding your tweets and not read them. You want your followers to hang on your every word, not treat you like a phone call from your annoying Cousin Julie (You know, the one you roll your eyes at when you see her name pop up on Caller ID. Admit it. I know you do.)! 4. Send interesting tweets. Send tweets that no one else does. Send tweets that your followers love. (Like my Star Trek trivia tweets. Those are a hoot. It’s okay. You can admit you want to follow me now just so you can get those.) 5. Let your list evolve naturally. Don’t just add 1000 people in 2 days just because you can. It is far better and more productive to add smaller numbers and have more quality instead of thinking “bigger is better” – really. Having a large number of people you follow in a short time can be a red flag for people and the sign of a spammer.
