You want more Twitter followers. I get it.

Here's a thread of one-sentence tips to help you get more followers.

Based on what's helped me attract 15,800 of them...

🧵👇

1. Don't use your Twitter bio to describe who you are - use it to describe the value people get from following you.

2. If you can't clearly explain why someone should follow you on Twitter, it's unlikely anyone will.

3. A person you engage with is way more likely to follow you than one you don't.

4. When you follow someone new consider why you did so and you'll learn how to get others to follow you.

5. You can get a lot of Twitter followers from blog posts if you know how.

6. Message your new followers and ask them why they followed you  -  you'll learn a lot.

7. The more you tweet, the more followers you'll get…as long as you don't tweet crap.

8. Twitter follower growth starts with Twitter follower retention.

10. The more varied the topics you tweet about, the more difficult it is to get followers because the less likely each tweet is to be relevant to the same audience.

11. The more you share other people's tweets, the more likely they are to share yours and the more likely you are to reach new people.

12. Follower growth is a result of shares and shares come when you tweet things other people want to say.

13. Use Quote retweet instead of a regular retweet when sharing because that puts your comment and profile into people's feeds instead of just the original tweet from someone else's profile.

14. Your followers should get more value out of following you than you get out of them.

15. If your following isn't growing, there's a reason and that reason is probably your tweets.

16. The more DM conversations you have with people, the more people the Twitter algorithm will show your tweets to, which means the more opportunity you'll have to get new followers.

17. Your number of followers isn't as important as the number of people who actually care what you have to say.

18. You get followers by getting attention and you get attention by not doing what everyone else does.

19. Know who you want to follow you and what those people want.

20. Don't be afraid to ask people to follow you, but don't ask them without giving them a reason to say yes.

21. Every tweet is an audition.
