Best Way To Get Twitter Followers
-
What does the forum think the best way to get Twitter Followers is?
I'm talking from the perspective from a fairly unknown brand where there's no obvious reason for someone to follow.

At the end of each blog post/article remind your readers to follow you on twitter. This work wonders. Another cool way is to pay by tweets. If you provide a downloadable resource on your website, then make it available only after tweeting about it. Make sure that your twitter button recommends to follow you, if a visitors is not already following you. With the passage of time you will get many followers.

The brand/site in question is a very straight forward loan site and at the moment there's not much reason for people to want to go on the site for content purposes. It's more they need a loan and that's all they care about.
The content part is something we're working on for this site, but at the moment, it's hard to get twitter followers via this route.
I was more looking to get twitter followers first who could then be driven to the new content to generate traffic and then re-tweets... reverse logic

Storitz - nice, I've never heard of it, but it looks good.
Thanks for the response

I use Twellow.com - easiest place to find like minded Twitter accounts.

Competitions are always good but really, you want to have a rich social presence that is driven by your content strategy.
So, you post great content on your blog - people read you and follow. They may even then tweet it through your social plugins and you may pick up more readers / followers.
You have a strong presence on twitter, post interesting things, interact with other interesting people to build relationships and ultimately pick up more followers like that as well.
Then, you have strategies for getting followers like competitions where people have to follow you.
Really though, get some good content on the site and tie in twitter very closely with your content strategy and be active on twitter and you will start to build followers.
No silver bullet really, like everything else, the real answer after all the bluster is simply - hard work.

It would be easier if i knew more about your brand, product, service.
Reasons for someone to follow you: - Quality content
- Costumer service
- Competitions
- Competetor
- You follow them
- Like you product, service
If you have traffic to your homapage:
- Promote your twitter account
- Include the twitter follow button
- Give your visitors good reason to follow you
And I guess, just take it from there

Tommy,
I saw that and it's good, but it doesn't really tell you how to go from 0 followers to a sizeable number. It's more based on the fact you've already got a base of followers.
Say we had a toilet cleaning firm. Where would you find suitable followers for that without harassing people
Maybe I'm looking for something (Although preferably not) with a bit of a darker hat on...

What is the best SEO friendly way to combine two websites.
I have two websites, eg: widgets.com - sells expensive widgets as gifts everydaywidgets.com - sells cheap widgets for everyday use. I would like to combine them both under the widgets.com domain name, because its easier to run the SEO campaign for one rather than two. But i still want two different product collections, and two different sites. widgets.com is by far the larger of the two sites so my current thought is to have that the main landing site, and have a button at the top to take the user to widgets.com/everydaywidgets where they have a similar but different site, and different products. I can set this all up no problem with the correct 301 redirects from everydaywidgets.com, but is it SEO friendly? Does anyone know of a real world example of a business doing this? Cheers

Getting citations from different cities for a travelling band
Hi mozzers! i play in a band that is based in Austin, TX but travels to all cities across texas. I've been told i need to have citations in place to help my organic rankings in the cities across Texas that i perform in. 1. What are the best ways to get citations to rank locally in each city for my band? i have a page set up on my website for each city that we perform in. Do i set up accounts on local business directories in each city that i perform in with a link to that city page on my site? I have performers that i hire in each city and can use their address for the local address on each business listing but my business phone number would be the same for all cities. I don't want this to look black hat to google by filling out business listings for many different cities with the same phone humber but my customers are in fact in all these major cities almost more than in my home town. 2. Since i can only fill out a google places page for my home city, what other ways can i get citations to help my organic rankings in all the cities that i perform in? Thanks in advance for everyone's input! Ron

For those of us that operate business in other areas that we technically dont have an "address" in... are there any creative ideas/ways anyone has run across in securing a physical address that you can use for local listing? I have already tried the virtual office type of companies, and their inventory is limited to major metropolitan areas.

What is best way of using facebook share
I recently launched a scrollable web comic at www.shoutout.co.in. In space of 2 days after launch, i got more than 100 likes. While this is great number, i am not sure if this is best usage of options provided by facebook. Which option is best share/like/share-with-comment option? Currently i only have "like" implementation. Is this giving less probability of visibility to friends than "share-with-comment" option? stats and numbers from your experience/campaigns will help.

Twitter Account names for Fictional Characters
I'm consulting for a web series that features ~6 well established characters, and I would like to establish a twitter stream for each character before the start of the new season in a few months. The characters all have first names but no last name, and the web series's name (Naked In A Fishbowl) is too long, and the acronym NIAF is not well-branded yet. What would be the best way to pick Twitter handles for cast members (BonnieNIAF, Jean NIAF? BonnieFishbowl? Bonnie_NIAF?)
