Do you think it’s hard to get Twitterfollowers? Then, you have never known what difficulty means on Twitter. Besides,
you can buy Twitter followers
nowadays. You know what is hard to accomplish? It’s getting mentions. Not the
past tense word “mentioned,” well that of course means the same thing, but it’s
the feature with a prefix symbol @ that is so hard to acquire. Believe me; I’ve
been trying to get my followers to add me to their mentions but for weeks I
have failed…until now.
What happened that turned my fortune around
180 degrees? Let me tell you through these set of tips I learned on how to get
mentions.
. 1. Join follow Friday #FF
No, it’s not what you are thinking. We are
not getting followers here, though that would prove a boon. I am referring to
how users use the @username to refer you to people on Twitter to be followed. Most
of these kind-hearted individuals recommends your account to their followers
and uses the mention feature to create a link back to your Twitter account.
What for? To be followed, of course.
. 2. Bring up a topic to discuss
What is more effective than to bring up a
stimulating topic to rouse your Twitter followers sleeping brains? You can
start by looking into the trending topics and get an idea from there. Select
active followers to mention and present them the dilemma or the scenario.
Sooner or later people, their followers plus your followers will join, especially
if the topic is about celebrities and social media.
. 3. Give your followers praises
It’s great to be generous sometimes.
Although, not to the point of actually sending your followers money through
PayPal. Pick five followers to interact with, check out their tweets, visit
their websites and give them praises for a wonderful post or for a great
insight on a particular topic. With gratitude, they would not hesitate to
return the favor plus the mention and reply you so want.
. 4. Ask followers a question
Who could resist a question? It is the nature
of human beings to be competitive no matter what, thus, it is hard for them to
pass up a chance to prove their intelligence. So, don’t worry about not getting
replied at or being mentioned. Even three to five followers are enough to say
you have been a success. There is another day for more questions and luring
additional mentions and replies from followers.
. 5. Don’t forget to retweet
Have you experienced getting mentions because
you retweeted someone’s post? Remember those times? You just keep doing that to
most of your followers and you won’t run out of mentions. There might even be a
big chance of your account getting mentioned for virtually every post of some
followers. Isn’t that awesome? It’s because you have established yourself as an
active Twitter user who doesn’t hesitate to return favors, give praises and
other actions that please people on Twitter.
Mentions, replies, hashtags and retweets are
few of the popular features of Twitter that enliven the existence of users on
the site. Without these, Twitter will be boring and considered to be just
another trying hard Facebook. Maximize their potential, and then there will be no
reason to stop you from reaching your goals.
