This doesn’t necessarily mean you should post constantly

and clog up your followers’ feeds. Rather, think of your Twitter like your metabolism. If you eat the same foods every day your metabolism will slow down, but if you vary your caloric intake you’ll keep it active.

For example, if you’re a comic book fanatic and Comic Con is coming to town, tweeting more often during the event will help you build your following.

2. Stay Positive
Nobody america phone number list likes to hear bad news — that’s why the University of Michigan study also found Twitter users were much more likely to share and re-tweet positive rather than negative content.

While it’s true that we don’t all live in a world of sunshine and butterflies, giving most of your tweets a positive spin will likely pay off. One of my favorite people to follow on Twitter is @AnnTran_ because all of her tweets are positive in some form of inspiration or recognition.

Using social media is a choice
Most people log on to Twitter for their own personal amusement. Unless you’re a glutton for punishment, you probably don’t like to be sad or angry during your down time.

3. Interact with the Community
Twitter isn’t just about sharing information — it’s also about interacting with others. If you want to attract followers, it’s important for you to engage in a dialogue while you’re using the platform.

Those who frequently re-tweet others’ tweets, tweet at other users and give their opinions are more likely to have a high number of followers.

Also, I wrote an article a few
months ago where I mentioned one of Ann Tran’s quotes and sent her a direct message through Twitter to let her know about it. She responded quickly and was thrilled about the mention! As a bonus, she’s tweeted about the article at least 4-5 times by now and each tweet received around 20-30 re-tweets and favorites.

Keep in mind that people
don’t just use Twitter to get straight facts — they also want to know people’s opinions about events and news. We are social creatures and like to communicate with others — that’s why social media was created in the first place. Give your own take on what’s happening and people will be more likely to read your tweets.
