Do you want to increase your twitter followers by more than 100% within a month or less? Make it your main concern for a month or two, double down and create lots of content.

Studies have shown that the more you tweet, the more followers you’re likely to have. For example, most users who have written under 1000 tweets typically have fewer than 100 followers, while those who have tweeted more than 10,000 times usually have followings of between 1000-5000 people.

To help grow your opening base of followers rapidly and effortlessly, here are some extra devices you can employ.

1. Employ your LinkedIn and email connections.

You’re more likely to be followed by someone you already have a relationship with; first, follow them and they will naturally follow back. Sadly, Twitter doesn’t have a way to do this but there is a workaround.

Start by visiting your LinkedIn Contacts page and select “settings.” From there you’ll have the option to export your contacts into a .CSV file. The file can then be seamlessly uploaded to your email account contacts. Then from Twitter, you’ll be able to import your email contacts, which will include your LinkedIn connections, choosing which of them you want to follow.

2. Be part of a Twitter chat.

On a weekly basis, groups within several industries get together on Twitter to talk about a topic. By becoming part of these chats and engaging with others, you’ll get the chance to meet new people in your area.

3. Be Responsive

Respond to people who are interested in related content. When you comment on, retweet, or favorite a Twitter post, consider following users who also engaged with the post. The users will notice that you share similar interests in content and therefore be more motivated to follow you.

4. Follow users who follow your followers.

Twitter users who follow your followers are likely to share similar interests, so you should consider following them as well. They will notice you and follow back.

5. Buy Twitter Followers

There's a big controversy about buying Twitter followers but let's be realistic: nobody wants to follow an account with zero followers. If you only buy a reasonable amount (say, 2,500), then you are going to have better chances of getting more followers. This is because people are more likely to follow an account that has a few thousand followers already. It is called “the influence of numbers, and the feeling that “2500 people can’t be wrong about you”.

According to New York Times, everybody buys twitter followers, including "celebrities, politicians, start-ups, aspiring rock stars, reality show hopefuls—anyone who might benefit from having a larger social media footprint.

Uchechukwu Chibueze, a sole proprietor of a Lagos-based company explained that there are two different types of Twitter followers you can buy. “Targeted followers” are actual people who seem likely to be interested in the topics you tweet about. Marketing companies charge hefty fees to identify these compatible tweeps and then persuade them to follow you (by tweeting at them and through other means). And the second type of Twitter followers are mostly fake accounts supplied from Indian techies.

According to Uchechukwu, unless you’re a celebrity like 2Baba, Davido or Phyno, you’re going to have to either buy or work really hard at building an initial following on Twitter.

Uchechukwu, whose 1000 twitter followers goes for N1700 said he gets 10-15 orders on a good day at his website at http://www.amarikmedia.com/services/social-media/get-twitter-followers , most requesting between 1,000 and 10,000 twitter followers.

So why do people buy followers? It’s in part to create an impression of success that people hope will be self-perpetuating. To the casual observer, your numerous Twitter followers suggest you're a powerhouse—a person of influence not to be overlooked.

Unless people harbor some kind of suspicion about you, it's pretty unlikely they'll bother to investigate how your twitter followers came about. They'll just assume you're a Twitter star. And that feeling can be very advantageous.
