How to get people to follow you on twitter, and make money from it

Today, everyone knows about Twitter, all the celebrities are using it, your friends are using it, even your grandparents may enjoy the odd tweet now and again. But how do you use Twitter to your advantage when it comes to business? Here are a few tips and tricks to get you noticed and taken seriously on the mega micro blogging machine.

Your Bio Line

Besides your Tweets, this is what people will read and judge what type of person you are before they decide whether or not they want to follow you. You will only have 160 characters to describe who you are and what you do, so you have to make it good! Don't make it spammy or a sales pitch. Be yourself and describe your services or business. You can even add a link to your website or blog.

Photos are very important

It's essential that you use a real photo of you over an image your company logo. I recommend you use a real photo because people connect with real people and trust a user with a face. A user profile that has a business logo just screams sales and is a turn off for most people.

How to get people to follow you on twitter

If you have business contacts or an email list that are already using Twitter, invite them to follow you. Put your twitter url in your email signature, on your websites and blogs asking people to follow you. You could even put your Twitter url on your business card, flyers and other offline material. Register for free at www.twellow.com , the Yellow pages of Twitter users, and get listed in a Twitter directory in your niche. Use every opportunity to tell everyone about your Twitter account. Add a link to your Twitter profile on your Facebook page and share the link on your profile for all your friends to see.

It's very important to follow the 'gurus' and regular users of Twitter in your particular niche. This will benefit you in more than one way. It will give you a bird's eye view of what they're doing on Twitter, so you can learn how to improve your own results and it will also put you in front of all the people they are in contact with. When you follow people with the same interests as you, especially if they are in the same line of business, they tend to follow you back.

People are also curious by nature! They like to see who is following who, so often they will click on the links and check out the followers of people in their niche. So start making friends and adding people who have the same interests as you, participate in conversations and offer advice. Try and position yourself as a leader in your field and you will soon have an army of followers who take notice when you tweet.

Remember don't spam people with affiliate links, build trust and offer content of value!
