In this video I show you how to increase your number of followers on Twitter.

Twitter can be a great source of traffic to your sites and your offers - just share links to your blog posts etc.

The website I mention for unfollowing is unfollowspy.com

A very useful tool as what it matters the most is not so much who we follow but who follows us, right?

Hi Paula. Yes you can follow as many people as you want but it’s only the people who follow back that see your message (tweets) so that’s why it’s important to clear out non followers too

Dave,
I have already tried it out and i am waiting a day or to see if people I followed reciprocate. Otherwise, they get unfollowed.

Yes thats it. Give them a few days to follow back and then unfollow anyone who doesnt.
Rinse and repeat!

I have been stuck at between 2300 and 2400 followers for at least a year and a half and I truly don't know how this Twitter followers works. I tried following just the people that have a common interest but It just doesn't work for me. Does unfollowing people that don't follow me back increase followers? I have been racking my brain about this for a long time and there doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere...What am I missing here?

i have spent $5000.00 in a case study on Twitter to market, when it first had adverts. I didn't make anything in the make money online niche. My friend spent the same ad with the same results. I am used to paid traffic i know how it works. I am in a mastermind with 6 and 7 figure year earners and none of them have made money from Twitter. Getting followers is not problem getting buyers is another matter

I hear you! And I haven't had any results from Twitter either...

The thing I don't understand is why am I stuck at 2350-2400 followers??? It goes up one day and the next day it's back where it was previously. And the same thing happens with the people I follow, It decreases without me unfollowing anyone???

Hi Denis. Unfollowing just keeps your account tidy and not clogged up with people who dont follow you back - you cant share your message with people who don't follow you back after all. They wont see it.
Following people in your nich grows your followers because people have a natural tendency to follow back. You just unfollow those who dont and then repeat the process.
You also have to keep actively tweeting to keep them engaged!

I'm not suggesting selling anything to people on Twitter - either via ads or just with Tweets.
The purpose of this is to get traffic to your site. When you get visitors you can attract them onto your list via squeeze page and then start marketing.

I understand what you are doing but there are so much easier ways

Always good to be using more than one tactic for traffic. I use this among several ways.

Hi Denis, how many people do you follow? If it's a similar amount (or more), that's your problem. Clear out all of the people who don't follow you back and try to keep that a lot lower than your follower total.

Twitter have a limit, I think it's up to the 5,000 follower mark where they'll grant you more follower space, but only if you maintain a healthy ratio between following and followers totals.

Try to follow influencers, then look at their follower list and follow them too. Only add 100 people at a session and then give it a couple of days to see who follows back. Also, target active Twitter accounts, not those who haven't tweeted since July 2018 for example!

Engage with them too, and keep your business tweets low in proportion to all your tweets (say 1 in every 5). Retweet your influencer content and create lists. Add your influencers and others to the lists. They'll be notified you've done it and might be flattered enough to follow you back.

You'll also need to Tweet several times a day if possible. Always try to include a graphic and limit your hashtags to two per tweet. The more tweets, the more followers and exposure. The more followers, the more chance that someone will retweet you. Until you've made 10,000 tweets don't expect to have a vast following. It's a slow-burner thing.

Totally agree eggs and baskets an all . Everyone should have at least three sources of traffic

Wow, Dave! That was the answer I was looking for! You have made my day!

Twitter can be tricky and from your explanation, my problem is all of the people that don't follow me back (and have nothing in common with me) that is holding me up! I follow way too many: Close to 5000 people and I understand my problem now!

Thanks again for your detailed explanation, I truly appreciate!
