Twittering to Tempt Twollowers - 3 Simple Rules

Twollowers. Those elusive creatures that spell success for any Twitter marketing campaign aren't as mysterious as you might think. People are naturally curious, and you can play this to your advantage.

Here are three simple rules to remember when trying to attract followers for your Twitter account.

Bio:
Your bio should tell people who you are, what you do and why they should be interested. Limited to only 160 characters, you have to be creative in what you say. Remember, though, you have a completely customizable background at your disposal.

Communicate:
Remember that nothing is so boring as someone who only talks about themselves. In the world of Twitter it is a quick way to get yourself unfollowed, or worse, labeled as a spammer. The best way to get people talking about you is to have people talking to you. Find people you'd like to attract as followers, follow them and respond to their Tweets. Also, be creative and work current events into your conversations to attract more attention

Hashtags:
Those little # that people use in their Tweets are called hashtags and they are used to label and track trending topics. Twemes.com has a list of trending hashtags that will help you find relevant Tweets and conversations you can respond to. Don't forget to Tweet hashtags, too.

Keep in mind, Twitter followings grown over time -organically- will create the sort of communication that Twitter excels at.
