Strategies for Getting More Twitter Followers

Lately, I’ve been trying to get more followers on Twitter. A strategy that I have been using is searching for people will common interests and then following them. If they don’t follow me back within a week or so I will unfollow them.

Since Twitter has a 2000 person following limit, you don’t have much room to follow random people who will not follow you back.

Websites like Huitter will bulk unfollow everybody that is not following you in return. This service is very helpful for cleaning up your following list.

I have considered running a contest to get more followers but it seems that the only contests which really attract followers are contests for plamsa TV’s and computer.

As of right now, I don’t think an increase in followers is worth the price of giving away a plasma TV.

There are many websites out there which state they can help you get more followers but from what I’ve seen, it appears that these sites only help the top users on that site and won’t help you out very much.

I’e considered listing my username in some Twitter directories but that doesn’t seem like it would help.

I will continue to try and get more followers by finding people with common interests…but also, I will continue to search for new ways to get followers.

Follow me @paulmclalin and I will follow you back within 24 hours.

Is 2000 really the absolute limit? I heard it is something like 3000?

You should target two types of individuals for your account. Individuals who are following cleaning-based Twitter accounts (offering cleaning advice) and Twitter accounts focused on your particular region. I would focus more on the region as your service can be utilized by pretty much anyone.
