How I Gained 102 New Twitter Followers In a Month

So, at the beginning of February, I set myself a goal, not a written out goal, but more of an I have this idea – let’s track it. I wanted to see how many Twitter followers I could gain in one month while knowingly trying to gain quality followers. Yes, quality, organic followers, not paid followers or, however, that works. Here are the ways I gained 102 new Twitter followers in a month.

How I Gained 102 New Twitter Followers In a Month

Twitter Analytics

I use Twitter Analytics to track my profile. It’s broken down by month and shows you almost any information you would want to know. Seriously, it’s awesome.

Twitter Chats

I did another post about this last week, but I usually participate in 2-4 Twitter Chats a week. Within the Twitter Chats, you connect with like-minded people and get to share information with one another. Every single Twitter Chat I’ve ever participated in, I’ve gained at least one follower, if not more.

Pro Tip: Single another person out and send them a quality Tweet then retweet one of their posts from their profile.

Follow Blogging Retweet Profiles

I follow numerous profiles that 95% of their feed is them retweeting bloggers content that tagged them. This tip is beneficial in two ways – I find other bloggers to connect with when I see their post get retweeted, but I also tag them in my posts to get retweeted. The best ones I follow are The Blogger Bees , Female Blogger RT , and Blogging Gals .

Pro Tip: I schedule my posts through Buffer, so I tag them on my Buffered posts too.

Give Quality Comments/Compliments

If I see something I like on Twitter I tell the person. I don’t just say “cute picture,” no one responds to that because it sounds spammy. Yesterday, I saw a super cute picture of a beauty blogger, so I commented “I am loving your haircut and color. Gorgeous. Really makes your eye color pop.” You know what she did next? Commented back and then followed me!

Blogging Facebook Groups

Most of all the Facebook groups I am apart of have weekly social media promo threads of some sort. Usually, people post a social media platform and ask for either likes, comments, shares, follows. For the month of February, I asked people to follow me on Twitter. Most of those people in the groups are like-minded and since I post about blogging, business, and how to grow social media outlets they’ll enjoy my feed.
