These
are things that you should
consider for your own account
to ensure you get the people you
want to follow you back.
1. Post a real picture of
yourself – This helps make
the experience much more
personal. I find that I
quickly skim past accounts
that do not appear to have
a real picture. I am looking
for real people to follow on
Twitter. My main reason for
being on social media is to
connect with real people, so
branded accounts get less
attention. I do look at
branded accounts to see if I
have interest in what they
“sell”, but those accounts
get much less attention
than the accounts with a
picture of a person.
2. Your name matters – I look
at the account name
immediately after scanning
the Twitter handle and
picture. I often make a
decision on following based
on the name the person
provides. If they don’t
provide a name I will often
pass them by.
3. Location matters- I love
following people from
around the world. It is one
of the things that make
Twitter so sexy. But let’s be
honest, we all like to
connect with people in our
backyard. I quickly follow
back people who are in
Minnesota. They are my
neighbors and I want the
opportunity to get to know
them better.
4. Your profile is important –
Use the 140 characters to
tell me something valuable
about you. I like to know
who a person is, what they
do for their livelihood and
what they are about. If you
don’t give me something
substantive here I most
likely will pass you by.
5. Your tweets matter- Make
sure you are tweeting and
retweeting. I like to see that
people are active and using
Twitter to connect. If their
page is full of broadcasting
type tweets it is easy for me
to pass them by.
