Here are a couple of open secrets to getting more Twitter users to follow you. Follow these simple tips if you want a large list of followers in no time.

• Spread Word about Twitter                    

You should talk about Twitter outside Twitter, if you want more people to find you on Twitter,. The only way to get more people to follow you on Twitter is to tell more and more people, that you are on Twitter. How do you do this?

You can spread the news that you are on Twitter by word of mouth. Alternatively, you can spread the news by attaching your Twitter address to your email signature, your business cards, your online profiles, and so on. Adding a Twitter RSS feed to your blog or web page also helps.

• Tweet a Lot                       

Tweet as much as possible! Make your presence felt! Ask questions and answer them. Participate in conversations about topics that you find interesting. Thank other Twitter users when they share something that is useful to you. Respond to witty tweets made by other Twitter users. Say hello to new Twitter users.

• Be Friendly                     

Initially, you might feel that you are a stranger on Twitter, but you are not one. Stop feeling and acting like a stranger, and greet other Twitter users as if you knew them all your life. Greet them in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on the weekends.

• Setting Email Notifications        

Set up email notifications so you get an email anytime someone sends you a "direct message" (aka DM). This way you can respond and begin to build a real relationship, which is the key to eventually making a sale. I recommend turning off all other communication from twitter, like twitter updates, otherwise you'll get bombarded with distracting emails. All you really need is the communication from your new followers.

Following these tips can get instant twitter followers for your account, so what you are waiting for?

Even if you have joined Twitter to improve your business, stay away from being too businesslike. You can give a bit of yourself in your tweets; show interest in the lives and interests of other Twitter users.

Twitter is a place for fun; so you can have plenty of fun. This online service is synonymous with dialogue, information, social currency, and chat. It has a strong role to play in the significant business conversation that affects everybody's life. No wonder Twitter is swiftly becoming more and more popular.
