This is very easy and handy for the potential follower. You can visit twitter’s official widget page where you can create your widgets including the follow button.

  • Promote yourself

Consider mentioning your Twitter page in all of your actions on the internet. Do not just restrict your activities to social media. Use every opportunity to promote yourself.

You can definitely mention about following you once or twice a day and you can cross promote handles in different social media sites. The secret to twitter followers lies in sharing great content and solving problems.

  • Put Twitter on your email signature

What is better is to embed a twitter follow widget/button on the email, so that people need to only click on it to get the ball rolling. You may want to consider hyper-linking to your profile so that people may have a little look at your content first. You may also want to add some sort of graphic at the bottom (for Twitter) since the signatures are often very easy to ignore. Hongkiat has a great collection of twitter graphics.

  •  Use scheduling tools

You are able to schedule your twitter posts so that they appear at times when people are more likely to be reading content on twitter. Your followers might not be in the same time zone which means scheduling tweets can be really useful. Tools like hootsuite do a great job at scheduling tweets. Make sure you also check out the twitter application toolbox which has a list of more than 100 twitter widgets and plugins.

  •  Use other social media platforms

You do not need to restrict your efforts to one social media, and there is no harm in using one to advertise the other. You may not be able to put a “Follow me on Twitter” button on to all of your other social media profiles, but there is nothing stopping you from typing out your follow-address. There is nothing stopping you linking to your twitter profile.

Synchronizing your social media profiles is a very smart idea. So whenever you update your facebook status, it will automatically post it on your twitter timeline. This can be vice-versa. This not only saves you time but also makes content sharing more effective. Rob did a great job in writing about syncing your social media profiles so check it out.

  •  Be positive

Last but not the least, the social media platforms are already negative enough. People are always harassing each other and being rude. Do not be one of them. It will scare off anybody with an ounce of sense. Even if you have an objection with someone, do not be rude about it. Don’t mistake humor for violence or disrespect. There are people who tweets out humorous stuff which might not be liked by all but they are acceptable because it is probably their personality.
