Get More Followers The Easy Way

By McLovin Loenschturm


The rush to get more followers is relevant to new users of social networking websites. Increasing your network allows you to project your ideas and business services to a more diverse audience. Here are some ideas that may help you increase your impact.

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.

It is good to make sure that your network has elements of diversity and specialization. If you are situated in a specific industry area, make sure that you follow some of the leaders in your industry to help gain followers from that group. However, it is also important to have followers who represent your "weak ties" throughout your life online and offline. Following these people can help increase your exposure beyond a particular niche. As well, making sure that your network contains people from around the world rather than a specific geographic location helps with this goal.

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.

Also, make sure that people know about your social media accounts. List your usernames on your business card or resume, for a start. Consider integrating your recent status updates into your blog or website to attract those readers. As well, even though social media is an internet phenomenon, it doesn't mean you can't talk about it. Make sure that people you interact with off the the web know that you are a social media user, because they might be users too.

When you've used social networking to develop your online presence, you may have used some of these ideas to boost your presence. These approaches, however, can always be refined when trying to build you network. When you want to get more followers, think about revisiting these ideas.
