So how do they do it? \u00a0<strong>Their tweets are valuable!<\/strong> \u00a0Every person with a ton of Twitter followers got that way because their followers gained something from following them. \u00a0Perhaps they get a laugh, unique tips and tricks, or even an interesting story. \u00a0You will never see someone with that many followers just tweet about what they&#8217;re eating for lunch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_102\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/twitter-republic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-102\" alt=\"Twitter republic picture\" src=\"http:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/twitter-republic-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/twitter-republic-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/twitter-republic.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Twitter has more people than some countries &#8211; CC License Scott Beale of Flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So what do you have to do to get followers on Twitter? Show that you have information that is\u00a0valuable\u00a0to whoever your target audience happens to be. \u00a0If you are a writer, Tweet to other similar writers about something that his and your audience are both interested in. \u00a0If his followers see your related tweet, they may follow you if it is interesting enough.<\/p>\n<p>Another example is if you sell a certain type of product. Search for people on twitter who want to buy your type of product and send them a personalized tweet suggesting your product, while possibly even offering a discount. \u00a0People really like it when a company takes the time to cater to them individually, and it shows great customer service. \u00a0However, the sole purpose of your Twitter account should not be to try and push your product, because people will ignore it. \u00a0You should tweet out cool tips and tricks, for example, that are related to the industry you are in.<\/p>\n<p>When starting a Twitter account, it&#8217;s important to be patient, because no one gained a million followers over night. \u00a0If you are active and valuable on Twitter, you will get a good following eventually, and the more followers you get, the easier it is to get more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every once in a while, you will see someone on Twitter who has an obscene amount of followers. \u00a0Most people imagine having hundreds of thousands of followers, and being able<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[13,8,12,45],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":105,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions\/105"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magicsocialfans.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
