If you wander on some twitter related sites, you can find some of them offering a catalog of Twitterers (Twitter users), classified by grading, followers, general authority, and you are easily astonished how certain accounts can get strong fast.
Celebrity certainly builds a following and people are more likely to "Twitter-follow" somebody they know someway.
What I'm trying to say is that a good way to gather more and more followers for your account is to increase your celebrity.
If you are using your Twitter account like I do for an online marketing purpose, maybe you're searching for ways to build your authority on Twitter.
As far as I can tell, one of the best ways to achieve this goal is to connect your account with a blog of your own.
In fact, publishing content is the best way I know to build your presence online and, in the long term, become an authority on a chosen subject.
Ok, but...
we were talking about Twitter, weren't we? Yes, you're not mistaken at all.
I'm getting to it right now, so go on reading.
The maximum length of a tweet is 160 characters.
This will not allow you to publish so much content, and don't think about sending an article out on Twitter by bits and pieces 160 characters long, nobody will never get it and you would be wasting your time.
The good side of it is Twitter allows you to put links in your message.
So, if your tweet contains, for instance, the title of your post and the link to it, anybody interested will be able to jump on your blog to get deeper information.
In order to achieve this, you don't need to manually send a tweet each time you publish a post.
There are tools that can help you automate this processes and put in place more strategies on autopilot.
Here are some of them.
Syndicate your blog on Twitter First of all you need a blog installed on a Wordpress platform.
I think Wordpress is the most powerful CMS: since it's an open source project, it gets lots and lots of additional new features available each day, and most of them are free to download and use.
One of this is a plugin allowing you to automatically send a tweet with your post title and its url on your Twitter account.
It can be set to send a similar message any time an old post gets updated.
Advertise your Twitter account on your blog Other plugins allow you to let your blog visitors know you have a Twitter account and invite them to follow you.
You can show your tweets in the blog's sidebar in a dedicated widget, or show your visitors having a Twitter account as well in another box.
Other way, you can set up a kind of "twopt-in box", asking for Twitter username and password to easily send a tweet about the page they're visiting.
Use Twittersearch for your titles If you want your blog posts to find their way through the twittersphere, you should fill them with the keyword rated as hot by Twittersearch.
com: look at what is being currently searched on Twitter, look at the trends these keywords are following, build your title and schedule you post publishing date accordingly.
As you see, these tools and strategies can really help you to magically build your way through Twitter.
If you want more of them, you can read my book, Twitter with Wordpress, showing how you can combine their features to multiply the traffic of your website and boost your online business.
