In this article, I am going to show you some strategies to guide you on how to grow your Twitter account within a very short time. One might obliviously be wondering on how on earth would the number of Twitter followers be of any service to him. Well, this write-up is going to unravel to you the benefits of having a large audience on Twitter.

Social media in this era is enormously important in our day-to-day activities. Practically, all the businesses in the globe have at this moment resorted to using social media for the advertisement of their goods and or services. It is therefore significant for a business to have a considerably huge number of social media followers if it has to succeed.

Despite Facebook’s having the largest user database of over 2.85 billion users across the globe, which makes it the largest social media platform. Twitter s not left behind too, with about 320 million users as of January 2021. the reach and quality of Twitter followers is quite promising and more convincing to most of the businesses looking for the best atmosphere to promote their products.

We, therefore, find it worthwhile to share with you, 10 proven procedures to help you grow your Twitter account within a short time.

How to Grow Your Twitter Account Quickly

1. Tweet Regularly and Consistently

Unlike some other social networking sites where 2 to 3 posts per day would be sufficient for someone to remain in the race, Twitter requires that you post much more than that. Given the nature of the platform such that it moves quite quickly in a way that tweets only last for a few minutes on one’s timeline, it is, therefore, crucial for someone to post more frequently in a day at least 8 to 15 times a day.

Note that you’ll have to be posting meaningful and relevant content on your timeline. Filling up your Twitter timeline with fresh and meaningful content lets your followers know that you’re active, engaging, and well, worth following.

2. Optimize Your Profile

Another strategy on how to grow your Twitter account in a short time is by optimizing your profile. This is by filling in all the necessary information to convince potential followers to follow you. The best way of doing that is by concisely optimising your bio.

Make sure that you fill your bio with the right and a convincing message about yourself or your brand. This will attract relevant followers to your account; people with shared interests with you and those looking to connect with someone with your type of idea or services you provide.

3. Have Professional Profile Picture

Some people ignore the importance of profile pictures and end up putting something irrelevant. You must set up a credible profile such that whoever visits your page will know that you are legit and trustworthy.
Upload a personal profile picture if it happens to be your personal Twitter account. Ensure that the picture is clearly recognizable with your face visibly identifiable.

Also do not forget to change your Twitter profile header’s background from the default blue background to something meaningful. Like something about you, a picture of you, or even a quote about you or your brand.

4. Frequently Relevant and/or Trending Hashtags

Utilization of relevant hashtags in your tweets is a great way to get more views from new and potential followers. But it is imperative to note that not all the hashtags that you see or come to your mind are worth using.

Therefore you need to find the one that is relevant and has the potential of making your tweets reach a larger audience of people with presumably an interest in your content.

5. Attend to Mentions, Replies, and Retweets Almost Instantly

If you really want to grow your Twitter account quickly, you should be actively engaging back with your followers by responding to their comments and mentions on tweets on your feed or theirs.

This will help you build an active and engaging Twitter handle, which means more retweets and therefore more followers.

6. Find the Right Time for Your Tweets

In trying to find out some good ways on how to grow your Twitter account quickly, you don’t have to spend all day searching or tweeting randomly. All you have to do is to find out the right time your followers are likely to be more active on the platform. This will help you have engaging tweets which will, in turn, lead to more retweets and likely more followers as a result.

Let say, for example, most of your audience or your followers are busy during the day. It is therefore not good advice to tweet during working hours. Tweeting during non-working hours such as in the evening or during the weekend is highly likely to help you keep an engaging Twitter account.

7. Retweeting Some of Your Old Tweets

The habit of retweeting some of your tweets, most especially your best tweets is a sure way to expand your reach and as such the opportunity to gain more followers. Asking your followers to retweet (call to action) do at times tend to be a good way to increase your retweets.
Retweeting other people’s content, especially those relevant to your niche is also a good way to build an engaging account which will ultimately result in gaining more active followers.

8. Follow The Relevant People

Following people with interests similar to yours is a popular strategy so many people have been using in getting more Twitter followers. Though this might not be a very effective way, such that you may end up following someone without him following you back, it is still a proven strategy that has worked for some people.

9. Include Images and Videos in Your Tweets

Tweets containing visual contents such as videos and or photos were found to perform better in reaching the target and desired audience than those with only plain text. Using stunning images in some of your tweets is a great way to grab the attention of your target audience.

A tweeted thread with a captivating and relevant photo is highly likely to get more engagement than the one with only plain text. Tweets containing visual content receive more likes, shares, and retweets than those without them. This is because our brains respond so quickly to images as it tends to be an irresistible attention drawer on Twitter and other social media platforms.

So proper usage of attractive photos or videos in your tweets is yet another powerful method for you looking for how to grow your Twitter account quickly.

10. Share your Twitter Account to Other Social Media Platforms

Another tested and effective method of growing a Twitter account is by simply sharing your Twitter account or profile link on other social media platforms. Sites like Facebook and Instagram are good outlets to amass huge valuable followers, most especially if you have a large following or friends on any or both of them.

Conclusion

Growing a Twitter account is not a day job, it is a gradual process that requires patience and dedication. Do not think of taking shortcuts such as relying on some shady tools to amplify your network with bogus followers, it’s meaningless.

So take up these 10 easy tips delineated above to successfully grow your Twitter account.
