Best Way To Get Twitter Followers
-
What does the forum think the best way to get Twitter Followers is?
I'm talking from the perspective from a fairly unknown brand where there's no obvious reason for someone to follow.

At the end of each blog post/article remind your readers to follow you on twitter. This work wonders. Another cool way is to pay by tweets. If you provide a downloadable resource on your website, then make it available only after tweeting about it. Make sure that your twitter button recommends to follow you, if a visitors is not already following you. With the passage of time you will get many followers.

The brand/site in question is a very straight forward loan site and at the moment there's not much reason for people to want to go on the site for content purposes. It's more they need a loan and that's all they care about.
The content part is something we're working on for this site, but at the moment, it's hard to get twitter followers via this route.
I was more looking to get twitter followers first who could then be driven to the new content to generate traffic and then re-tweets... reverse logic

Storitz - nice, I've never heard of it, but it looks good.
Thanks for the response

I use Twellow.com - easiest place to find like minded Twitter accounts.

Competitions are always good but really, you want to have a rich social presence that is driven by your content strategy.
So, you post great content on your blog - people read you and follow. They may even then tweet it through your social plugins and you may pick up more readers / followers.
You have a strong presence on twitter, post interesting things, interact with other interesting people to build relationships and ultimately pick up more followers like that as well.
Then, you have strategies for getting followers like competitions where people have to follow you.
Really though, get some good content on the site and tie in twitter very closely with your content strategy and be active on twitter and you will start to build followers.
No silver bullet really, like everything else, the real answer after all the bluster is simply - hard work.

It would be easier if i knew more about your brand, product, service.
Reasons for someone to follow you: - Quality content
- Costumer service
- Competitions
- Competetor
- You follow them
- Like you product, service
If you have traffic to your homapage:
- Promote your twitter account
- Include the twitter follow button
- Give your visitors good reason to follow you
And I guess, just take it from there

Tommy,
I saw that and it's good, but it doesn't really tell you how to go from 0 followers to a sizeable number. It's more based on the fact you've already got a base of followers.
Say we had a toilet cleaning firm. Where would you find suitable followers for that without harassing people
Maybe I'm looking for something (Although preferably not) with a bit of a darker hat on...

What is the best SEO friendly way to combine two websites.
I have two websites, eg: widgets.com - sells expensive widgets as gifts everydaywidgets.com - sells cheap widgets for everyday use. I would like to combine them both under the widgets.com domain name, because its easier to run the SEO campaign for one rather than two. But i still want two different product collections, and two different sites. widgets.com is by far the larger of the two sites so my current thought is to have that the main landing site, and have a button at the top to take the user to widgets.com/everydaywidgets where they have a similar but different site, and different products. I can set this all up no problem with the correct 301 redirects from everydaywidgets.com, but is it SEO friendly? Does anyone know of a real world example of a business doing this? Cheers

Should I create separate pages for each location or should I create one account and add all my locations to that account?

Best strategies for alcoholic beverages online store
Hi, we are now creating an strategy for an online store that sells alcoholic beverages and also drinks to mix with them (for example for creating cocktails). The company is located in Spain and wants to begin selling in France. We are thinking of optimizing SEO of the online store, but it is a little difficult cause the description of drinks are really similar, and the inner text too. (Gin is Gin, and you can't describe many things about it. The brand changes, and also the bottle, but it is very difficult to describe a product like that) So we are thinking of creating a content marketing strategy and alsoa social community using facebook and twitter, and so on. As allways we are thinking of a blog and placing the contents there and then distribute then in social networks.... As the the products are alcoholic drinks, we thought that we could give people ideas and recipes of cocktails, and also to create videos about how to prepare those cocktails.But I am not sure about this strategy, specially about the video generation, cause as the products are alcoholic beverages, I am not sure about the policies of Youtube about that kind of issues. I tried to search on the Web and find nothing. This kind of content is for adults only? If so, should we create it anyway? Is it worth it? What kind of strategies will you apply to gain visibility for an store like this? I will apreciatte your comments and advices. Thank you!

Google+ Pages and an unknown owner...how do I claim it or get it removed?
Hello, I am working on a clients social networking campaign and have found a Google+ page for their company. It looks like it was created approx a year ago. The client doesn't know who created it or what account has control of it in their network. I need to make a Google+ page for them so I can use it in their marketing that I can actually access. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on how I can either: Find the owner/email that is associated with the Google+ Page? or Have it removed so I can create a fresh one? which I know I can report the page as compromised but will that work in a timely manner? Please any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!! 🙂 Jeff
