What do I do after I buy Twitter followers?

So you have decided to buy twitter followers and they have been delivered to you. Now what do you do?

The most obvious thing is to engage the followers with your tweets. When using Twitter it is very important to try and make your content original, non-repetitive and to not seem too automated and robotic (I will cover a list of automation tools in a later post). If Twitter is used correctly it can be another way to engage with your followers and can provide much more that just the same content you display on your website.

Offering Twitter only specials to customers could be an effective way to promote products or services that you offer. Are you in a band? Using Twitter to tell your fans about new music releases or gig locations could be effective. Are you a pub or food venue? Send some tweets about the new menu or daily specials and advertise your Twitter account somewhere in your venue or on your menus or other literature.

Learn how to use #hashtags to categorise your tweets and make them easier to be found. Keep an eye out for trending topics which you could easily target for your tweets and get them viewed by a large user base.

There are so may possible uses for Twitter that I could literally spend all day listing them. But the point of this post is to make sure you are aware that in the Twitter-verse, content is king. It is a simple as that. If you make your posts interesting people will read them. They could even re-tweet them for you giving you extra publicity and reach for your messages.

If people are interested in your content you will see natural growth and you will gain Twitter followers. Keep track of your followers list and follow people who follow you back. By locking in followers via reciprocal and mutual follows you increase the chances of maintaining those followers long term. If you find that you are following too many people yourself, create lists through the twitter.com interface and add your favourite accounts to those list. This way the tweets you really want to read are readily available and easily accessible.

So there are a few simple tips. Even if you haven’t gone down the road of choosing to buy Twitter followers, following these simple tips will help you grow and maintain your Twitter follower list.
