Twitter - Getting more followers

Twitter


I have found out that the more you tell about yourself the easier it is for you to get followers.

According to two articles from Hubspot, Can Having a Twitter Bio Get You 8 Times as Many Followers? and Bio Characteristics of Twitter Power Users, you can get more followers when you include a bio and a homepage link in your Twitter profile. Further to that, it is revealed in the second article that your title such as official, founder, speaker, expert, guru, and author in that order is able to get more followers. The kind of work that you do will also work in your favor when you are a marketer, entrepreneur, blogger, CEO, or a consultant in that order of popularity. The things that you blog about are another deciding factor to get more followers especially when you blog about marketing, news, health, and tech in that order of importance. If you are a husband, a father, a wife, or a mom in the same order of choice you are also in a favorable position to get followers.

After reading the two articles I have changed my bio to read as follow:

A husband and a father of two. An article writer and a blogger with a niche blog (Self -improvement).

By the way, there is also another article saying that a username with underscores and numbers will get fewer followers. I have also changed my username from Charles66 to CharlesChuaCK. You can read this interesting article at Picking a Twitter Username? Don't Use Numbers or Underscores.

I will keep you posted if I do get more followers then.

Happy following and being followed
