If you want to improve the results with Twitter, and attract new clients, I have 5 quick tips that will help you out.
1) Provide valuable content
Whatever niche you are in, you want to be seen as the expert because people buy from those they trust. By providing helpful tips and suggestions you will be offering real help, real value and your market will come back again and again.
2) Use Automation Tools
My favorite tool to automate my Tweets is Social Oomph. You can set it up so every time a person follows you, you can automatically follow them back which is good for growing your followers list. You can also send a DM (direct message) automatically. It’s a friendly way to say hello and engage your followers. A paid membership is what I use because of the “Bulk Upload” feature. With this feature, I can write all my tweets ahead of time and schedule them to go out over time. I personally like to upload my content every two weeks and have them delivered every 4-6 hours.

3) Follow & Unfollow Strategy
What I did to grow my Twitter list of “targeted followers” is to apply my “Follow & Unfollow” Strategy. Remember, this is about quality, not quantity. Use the keywords from your market to find people on Twitter who would be your customer and add them. By adding as many people as you can, you will quickly grow your list. The unfollow part of this strategy is key. You can set up Social Oomph to also automatically unfollow people once they unfollow you. Listen, if they tell you they aren’t interested, let them go and give the spot to someone who will be interested. I also like to use Twitter Karma to bulk unfollow about once a month.

4) Retweet!
Try to retweet a few times per day. People love it and will respond in kind. It’s also a fast and easy way to keep you content fresh. You can check to see who is retweeting you and return the favor. People see that others are retweeting you and it’s like a personal testimonial from them. It’s a vote that says you are an expert and you show up other people’s pages, attracting more attention.
5) Change Your Profile Picture
This is a hot little tip nobody is talking about. If you change your picture periodically, it moves you up the list on the list of other people’s followers. Your picture will get more exposure and again, you will get more followers!
I sure hope you test out these tips! Make sure you take a count of how many followers you have when you start. Keep track and chart your growth.
