Its a general rule that 30% of the people you follow will follow you back. However when you are following people who are in your niche this rate will be even higher because more of them will see what you are about and be generally interested in hearing more. So how do you find these people? Following at random surely doesn’t work.. Here are 3 of the best free ways to get targeted
Follow People Who Are Following People Like You.
If they are following them then they are probably interested in what they are saying. Find the top 3 big twits related to your niche and follow their followers. If you don’t know how to find your top three here are some techniques: 1) Insert your information at
Twitter Karma and then organise your followers by folower count. Check out the top profiles and see who have the most followers. Quite often you will already be following the big players in your niche. 2) The second way and the quickest way is to go to
WeFollow.com and search for your niche. If you can’t find anyone try broader search terms. For example if you blog about “German Shepherds” but you cant find any results then expand your search and try “Dogs” instead. Now you have the big twits you are looking for.
Put Your Twitter Details On Everything You Do.
If people like what you say and want to hear more they will follow you on twitter. These are the best followers because they already dig you. Here are just some of the places you can add your twitter profile: – Your Blog (duh). – Forum Signatures. – Articles. – Guest posts on other blogs. – Your websites. – Email signature. – Other social networking sites. – Anywhere else people can interact with what you are already doing..
Search Twitter
At
search.twitter.com you can search the public timeline for the last 30 days and follow people based on what they are talking about. For example if your blog is about German Shepherd dogs then you can search for the term “German Shepherd” (make sure you put “” around the phrase to get an exact match) and follow each of these people. As I check it now there are about 50 people who have tweeted about German Shepherds” in the last 24 hours. Thats 350 highly targeted followers every week, who would all surely enjoy your blog! A more common term like “money online” has 60 in the last hour, that’s 1440 target followers a day.
Don’t Get Suspended
With these tips you may be tempted to follow thousands of new tweeple. Try not to follow more than 20% more than people who follow you (eg 1,000 followers mean you can follow 1,200) otherwise you run the risk of getting your account suspended and then all your work is ruined.
