Twitter is a household name today and in the following article, you'll find 5 important tips to help you get followers
We can find thousands of idle Twitter accounts, the owners of which may have even forgotten their user ID's
There is no wonder these accounts tend to lose followers in the long run
The whole point of this social media tool is to inject useful tips and insights into the web community
This can be done only through tweeting regularly on a weekly or even daily basis
You need to tweet useful things that your followers will find valuable
Some Twitter users tweet about their personal, day-to-day activities, which warrant little or no attention at all
People generally are not interested what you had for breakfast, or whether you are taking a limo to work
Twitter has a feature called 'Suggested Users', which displays a number of profiles a new Twitter account holder may be interested in following
If your account makes it into the list, the number of followers you can get overnight, can be quite extraordinary
However, for getting onto the list, you really need to be a valuable Twitter user
Verified celebrity accounts are automatically added to the suggested users list
Normal users can get onto the list if their tweets are interesting and relevant to a particular topic
Look at your Twitter profile and see if you feel like following it yourself
Many Twitter profiles are so poorly maintained that people tend to get out of them fairly quickly
Make sure your front page has only valuable posts and not just retweeted things or random links
You can enhance the look of your profile with a custom background image to spruce your page up
Place all the necessary information about yourself into the bio column, with a link to your main website, if you have one
Moreover, make sure you promote your Twitter profile by linking to it from as many places as possible
Other ways you can promote your account include running and participating in Twitter contests
Add a 'tweet this' button in your blog posts and printing your Twitter ID on your business cards
Occasionally, you can get to be a guest blogger in one of the blogs out there and remember to add a link to your twitter profile
Another effective way is blogging about 'Twitter' itself
Thousands of people are interested to know more about Twitter and follow anyone who blogs about it
Retweeting is the process of tweeting what someone else has tweeted on their account
You may notice that retweeted statuses have the ID of the original tweeter
Encourage your followers to retweet your status to display your ID on other people's accounts, to give yourself a viral promotion
Use Hashtags when you tweet about anything contemporary or interesting
For this, just put a hash character in front of the keyword, eg '#windows7'
Hashtags make up internal groups in Twitter that discuss a particular topic
When you get into any hot topic, you have an amazing chance to increase your follower count
Today, the web is not the realm of a select few, but is used by millions of users from all walks of life
If you follow these tips, then you are sure to build a successful Twitter account
