There are many companies out there who provide a quickfix service in getting you an increase in followers using 'bots'; robots that will flood your system with spam.
If you want to engage with real people and a real audience you should:
1
Promote your twitter page outside of twitter. If you have a blog, provide a link to your twitter accounts and other social media such as Linkedin, Facebook, YouTube etc. If you leave a comment on forums or wiki's make sure their is a link to your twitter account.
2
If you have a webpage make sure you add the 'Follow Button' to your pages so that readers can easily be added to your followers list.
3
Add your Twitter address to your business cards. Beware - remember that people from the business community may be reading so keep your tweets sensible.
4
Engage in conversation with people who have a lot of followers in the hope that they will re-tweet your message, this may have the impact of boosting your followers as you will be seen as a 'reputable person to follow'.
5
Discuss whatever is in the trending topics; if you say something witty and insightful that tweet will get re-tweeted and could increase your follower count.
6
FollowFriday – send out FollowFriday tweets of some people you are fans of and maybe one day they will do the same back for you!
7
Write good content
Follow @twitter
