1. Follow Twitter Influencers First
The #1 reason to put this no.1 in the list is that it works like a charm. Make a list of all the Twitter influencers in your industry and follow every one of them.
You may ask, they are not going to follow me even if I follow, so what’s the use?
Yes, we know that most of the influencers don’t follow you back, especially when you have zero online reputation. If they already know you, they might follow you back but the chances are low.
So what’s the purpose of following influencers in your industry?
Here are a few of the amazing benefits of following Twitter influencers.
There are thousands of people who actively look for influencers to follow. They also follow their followers simply to increase their own following count. So if you are following an influential blogger in your niche, you will have a high chance of getting more followers.
People use Twitter automation tools like ManageFlitter, Tweepy, etc to find and follow influencers’ followers. This is another great way you can automatically get followers by following top bloggers in your niche.
The people who are already following the influencers might follow you if you engage with the influencers frequently by retweeting their stuff or commenting on their links.
Takeaway: Make sure to create a list of 50 to 100 Twitter influencers in your niche. Follow them all within a day. Within a week, you will start noticing the growth in your Twitter followers.
The best times to post on Twitter are Wednesday at 9 AM and Friday at 9 AM (according to Sprout Social).
2. Use Twitter Bio Hack
Use hashtags related to your industry within your Twitter bio.
For instance, if you are a fitness freak, use hashtags like #fitness, #yoga, #fitnessfreak, etc in your Twitter bio. And also make sure to use the words like “Follow me and I’ll follow you back”.
Here’s an example for the hashtag “followback” on Twitter.
See that? You’ll find plenty of profiles that follow back.
If you are a beginner to Twitter, just by using this Twitter bio hack, you can quickly increase your followers.
Takeaway: There are thousands of people who actively search for those “follow me and follow you back” users. So by using those phrases in your Twitter bio, you will attract a ton of people. By using the relevant hashtags in your bio, you can attract “relevant Twitter followers”.
Most people on Twitter read others’ bio. If your Twitter bio is generic, no one is going to click on the links you share.
Make sure your Twitter bio is really catchy and link back to your website home page and let others know how you can help. For instance, if you’re a marketer, you could write interesting Twitter bio something like;
Who else wants to turn traffic into sales? My name is XYZ and I’m here to help you do the same. Interested in knowing more? [Insert your website URL or URL to a specific post].
See, how does the above Twitter bio sound?
It’s not only catchy, but it’s telling others that you’re an expert in solving a problem in your niche. Try to replicate the same on your Twitter bio to get more clicks to your websites from Twitter.
3. Use Tools like Tweepi and Buffer
Did you know that you can rapidly increase your followers by following more people?
Instead of sitting down in front of your computer and expecting someone to follow you on Twitter, why not start following others?
If you are eager to increase your Twitter following, here’s my tip. Follow more people. And here’s how to do that without violating Twitter rules.
What do you need?
Tweepi (a free tool to manage your Twitter account to follow and unfollow)
Buffer (free tool to schedule your tweets in advance)
Go and sign up for the above tools by logging into your Twitter account. Once you’re done with it, here’s what you need to do.
Step 1: Log into the Tweepi account
Step 2: Find @username followers (enter a Twitter name of an influencer in your niche) and start following their followers.
Step 3: Rinse and repeat
Make sure to follow 100 to 200 people every day. At least 15 to 20 people follow you back. Over the course of 15 days, you will get at least 300 to 400 new followers on Twitter.
Once you follow 2,000 people on Twitter, it won’t allow you to follow anymore. According to Twitter rules, you can only follow 10% more followers after reaching the 2000 limit. It means you can follow 3300 people if you have 3000 followers.
Note 2: Make sure to unfollow people who don’t follow you back after a week or so. Once you have enough followers, you can follow more people to increase your followers. You can use the same tool Tweepi to unfollow people who don’t follow you back.
Tweepi: We have used Tweepi, it is one of the amazing Twitter tools used by over 1 million users to increase their Twitter followers. They also have a free version so you can simply create a free account with Tweepi using your Twitter id.

Takeaway: The above Twitter tool is free and really effective. Even if you are a beginner, you can use this tool to follow more people to increase your own followers quickly.
4. Use Buffer to Post Amazing Tweets
Increasing your followers is NOT easy especially when you don’t have much online reputation. The simplest way to increase your Twitter following is to post amazing tweets.
If people notice that you are posting great tweets, they will start following you. Don’t be self-promotional. Try to spend time finding the epic content in your industry and tweet about it often.
Another great thing about Buffer is that it lets you schedule your tweets in advance.
Buffer is a freemium platform to find and tweet quality stuff. Just create a free account, add your Twitter profile and you can schedule tweets in advance so the tool automatically sends tweets at the optimized times so you can get a wider reach.
Using Buffer to get more followers on Twitter
Posting great content on Twitter is the KEY to increasing quality followers on Twitter.
Without sharing quality tweets, you simply don’t get natural Twitter followers for free. You always need to find a way to organically increase your followers and that can only be done by sharing great content.
One of the best ways to share great tweets is to use Buffer.
Buffer is a fantastic tool to schedule your tweets in advance. Moreover, this is a free tool that allows you to schedule 10 tweets in advance. You can also use different times to post on Twitter to increase your tweets and interactions.

5. Follow Others Until You Reach 5000 Twitter Followers Limit
Not so long ago, Twitter used to block those users who have hit the limit of following 2000 users. Unless they have a good follow-to-follow ratio, they used to block the people to follow more people.
But recently, Twitter had increased the follow limit from 2000 to 5000 accounts. That means, now you can follow up to 5000 users on Twitter without any follow limits.
But once you reach 5000 accounts, you can follow more people on Twitter unless and until your ratio of followers is good enough (typically if you can get at least 2000 people to follow you before you reach the limit of 5000 accounts, you can follow any number of people).
This is quite basic but really works. You need to follow some targeted Twitter users in BULK, If you follow people, there is every chance they will follow you back. As far as my experience with the method is concerned, we received 25 to 30%, new followers, compared to the number of people we actually start following.
Suppose if you start following 100 targeted users, you may end up getting 25-30 new followers. We need to unfollow those Twitter users who are not following us back. We need to run this process on several occasions to take overall followers based on four figures.
How to unfollow people if they don’t follow you back?
Wait for 5 to 7 days after following people. If they don’t follow you back, you can unfollow them by using Tweepi. It’s a free tool that helps you unfollow people on Twitter without any hassle.
Takeaway: You can only follow 1,000 users per day so don’t rush. As a rule of thumb, follow 100 to 200 people a day, and make sure to clean up those followers who don’t follow you back once or twice a month.
6. Use Tweetable Quotes Within Your Blog Posts
One of the simplest tips most bloggers use to grow their followers rapidly is they embedded Twitter quotes within their posts.
You can use free WordPress plugins like Social Warfare, Better Click To Tweet, etc to add tweetable quotes to your blog posts. Just install any one of the plugins mentioned above and you can make any part of your blog post content tweetable.
So your blog readers can easily tweet your tweetable quotes giving you more retweets, engagement, and followers on Twitter.
Takeaway: Almost every top blogger and top Twitter influencer are using embedded tweetable quotes within their content to get more engagement and wider reach on Twitter. If you want the same, use tweetable quotes within your posts.
