3 Tips To Get Followers On Twitter For MLM

Twitter is massively popular and a great place to market you or your business. There are a lot of other people trying to do the same so you need to be doing it properly to stand out and be effective. Your first step is to get people to follow you. Here are 3 tips to getting followers for MLM properly.

1. Follow At The Right Times

For the newbies to Twitter, you first need to get followers for anyone to see what you’re tweeting. Basically the only way to get followers is to follow someone and hope they follow you back. You can increase the likely hood by following at the right times though. On weekdays, night time is the best time to follow, from about 6pm – 10pm. For Saturdays, afternoons are best. Sunday is the best day of the week to follow, with the best results coming at night, but Sunday afternoons will still get good results.

2. Following The Right Amount Of People

When you first start Twitter you don’t want to start off too aggressively, following hundreds of people a day. If you do, Twitter will ban your account. You need to start small (50 a day is fine) and build from there, up to 200 a day until you get to the 2000 followings threshold. Twitter have a limit to the amount of people you can follow (2000) to deter spammers and it can be tricky to get over it. Every time I tried to get over the 2000 followings threshold, Twitter would stop me from following new people and getting new followers. What I had to do was reduce the gap between my following amount and my follower amount. Once I had these amounts neutral, I was able to get over the 2000 threshold and never looked back. After you have passed 2000 followers, the rule of thumb is to follow 10% of your follower list each day. I.e. if you have 3000 followers, you would follow 300 new people per day.

If you are wondering how I balanced my following and followers list, I basically reduced the amount of people I was following. If the people I follow don’t follow back within about 72 hours, I unfollow them. There’s no point following people if they don’t follow you back unless you are genuinely interested in what they are Tweeting.

3. Following The Right People

Obviously if you’re a Network Marketer, you don’t want a whole bunch of gardeners following you. You want other Network Marketers or people who are interested in Network Marketing to follow you. The good news is there are ways to get the right followers.

The first way to get the right people following you is to follow people on the follower list of the leaders or “big players” in your industry. For example, if you were in the food or cooking industry, you could follow Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay.The people following these well known chefs are almost guaranteed to be interested in cooking in some form which is your target market. You could even do this for major companies.

To do this simply click on the “Find People” link at the top right of Twitter and search for the leaders in your industry. You then click on them to go to their profiles where you will see their list of followers who you can then follow. The great thing about these very well known people or companies is that they have hundreds or sometimes thousands of new people following them everyday, so you can come back each day to find fresh people to follow.

The second way to find the right people to follow is to use search.twitter.com. Here you can type in a keyword that relates to your market or industry and search for all the people who have mentioned that particular keyword in their tweets. So if you searched for “Best MLM” it would come up with all the people who have mentioned those words in one of their tweets. If you have an MLM product on offer, there is a good chance these people would be interested.
