You are utilizing Twitter, you have a few followers and you want to increase your audience. Your strategy is to provide solid content: messaging that is value 70% of the time and about “you” the rest. You refuse to consider acquiring followers via “gain twitter follower” schemes that litter the Twitter landscape like so many wrecked cars in a junk yard.
The next step? Twitter “link baiting.” Simply use keywords in your tweets to attract the followers you want to attract.
Keyword Your Tweets: Keyword “Link Bait”
- Keyword List: create a keyword list that will attract the types of followers you want following you
- Keyword Tweets: tweet messages with one or multiple keywords buried within the message
- Location Tweets: if you are looking for geographic location followers try tweeting with a city, town, neighborhood, or regional name
- Describe: be creative when compiling your keyword list- include words that your prospective followers use to describe their business, needs, products, or services
- Search: once you have a follower who you identified came from a “keyword link bait” tweet, perform a Twitter search looking for other prospective followers
