By this I mean that you may be feeling quite good about yourself for having lodes and lodes of followers but if they are not actually interested in what you are writing and posting in your tweets is there any point? The goal is to obtain a list of followers that are actually interested in what you Tweet and will not only share (RT = Re Tweet) it but comment (@youre-username) and start conversations with you. This is the whole point of twitter. It’s to share things with people who are interested in what you are saying and sharing, and will then share it with the people who follow them and are interested in similar subjects or genre’s or Tweets.
So now that you start out and want to find people who are interested in the same things as you, this is how...
KEY:
1. Do a Twitter Search (view Key) for keywords that you are interested in. So if you are a mum who wants to meet and tweet with other mums you would search for subject keywords of things you are interested in e.g. babies, baby, mother, motherhood, parent, children, etc
2. When you have found a list of tweets around the subjects (keywords) which you have searched for, have a look through them, is there any that stand out and interest you? Click them and have a look at the persons Twitter page, (its not like Facebook where you have to be the persons friend before you can view their content – and if their content is locked there usually isn’t a point in looking at it! You’re not missing much! Lol) if you like what you read and think you have the same interests and would like to read more from this person, follow them!
3. Once you have found some of these people, followed them and found a common ground on a subject matter that you are interested in (it doesn’t have to be just one, variety is the spice of life!!) you can look through these people’s followers and people that they follow and you can find similar people who they chat too. Same principal as before, if you like what they say, follow them!
4. Now you should have a good list of people who you follow who will be interested in the same things as you, as I mentioned before it is good Twitter Etiquette to follow people back, so most of them will follow you back, if they don’t, don’t be too disheartened, try starting conversations with them by adding their username with an @ before it in your tweets and they will get this message in their replies list (see Key) and most people will follow you back if you interest them, reply things to them that will interest them, or if you have a friendly comment about a twitter tweet that they post @ them to start conversing!
5. #Followfriday – (See Key) Now this is a very useful tool for finding people of interest to follow and referring people who interest you to your followers. How it works is that every Friday you can post a tweet which has #Followfriday and the names of the people you want to tell your followers about, (remembering that whenever you put anyone’s names in a tweet, you should always put an @ before their name) and then your followers will see this and they can look at these people and see if they want to follow them too. On a Friday you may see a big increase in your followers, this could be because of someone #Followfriday you to their followers, so to look to see if this is the case click on the @youre-username icon (see key – Reply’s list) in your home section on twitter to see.
There are a couple of things to spot about people on twitter to see if they are worth following , find out about these in the ‘How to know who to follow on twitter’ post.
