Follow These Tips To Get More Followers

By McLovin Loenschturm


When you use internet social networking, the pursuit to get more followers can be a struggle. High numbers of people following your feed means that your business offerings and ideas can reach a greater audience. Here are some ideas to keep in mind when trying to make your audience grow.

One important tip is to gear your social network towards attracting followers. Take a close look at who you follow on social media networks -- are their feeds popular? While it is important to follow people whose interests are in line with yours, make sure that you stack your social network with highly-followed feeds and blogs. This may give you more exposure.

Reposting social media updates from people with many followers is another trick to gain more followers yourself. This gives the appearance of being connected to these users. Other users recognizing these names may convince them to follow you.

Building a diverse online social media network is important, as is building one that is specialized. Try to follow leaders in your industry or interest area to increase your professional exposure and reputation. However, your network also needs to contain people who represent your "weak ties" in other areas, both interest and geographically-based. Following and linking to these people increases your social media exposure beyond a limited group.

Posting status updates and blog posts with links to other people's blog posts or newspaper articles helps you gain more followers by adding trackback links. When other internet users see these trackback links in the comments section of another website, they will be directed to your feed and may become your followers. This also allows you to take part in the wider conversation of the internet.

Never forget to make sure that the people you interact with know about your social media presence. Listing usernames on resumes and business cards can be helpful in a networking context. As well, integrating status updates into your website or blog can help attract new followers by making them aware of your online activities. Also, keep in mind that the people you encounter off the internet probably use the internet too. So, it is never a bad idea to keep them informed of your social networking whereabouts so that they can follow you.

If you've used social media for some time, you may have incorporated some of these ideas into your self-promotion strategy. However, it never hurts to take a second look at how you promote your online life. If you want to get more followers, think about some of these ideas.
