The quickest way to grow is to spend a bit of money advertising.

Targeted promotion with Twitter Ads allows you to reach any niche instantly.

Broad promotion on twiends allows you to feature yourself to all our twitter users.

Sponsored tweets by influencers help you to reach their followers.

These all have different costs and performance levels.

Greater targeting means more engagement from your twitter followers.

Can't I buy twitter followers?

No, you can't buy twitter followers.

The truth is that these are ALL scams. Any followers you buy will be fake.

It does not work and is not allowed by twitter.

You may get suspended.

Twitter will remove every follower you buy and your follower count will drop back down.

If you want to spend money, please do it on legitimate promotion.

How do you spot a service selling fake followers?

They will quote a price for 100, 1000, 10000 twitter followers.

They will also make promises like..

..quality followers - but the followers will all be bots.

..real twitter followers - but they will all be fake followers.

..high quality - but it will be low.

..replacement guarantee - but they can't replace them.

..no password needed - bots don't need it to follow you.

..instant delivery - all they need to do is click a button.

..won't unfollow - but real people do unfollow sometimes.

What about using tools and apps to get followers?

There are a lot of good social media management tools out there. Some are free too.

Using a tool to manage your twitter account is not a problem.

A problem arises if you use the tool to do bad things.

Doing good things to get followers

Using tools to schedule your tweets or manage your workflow is fine.

The same goes for analysing and tracking your twitter followers.

And for managing your twitter strategy as a team.

There are some great tools for doing this.

A couple that spring to mind are SproutSocial, HootSuite and Buffer.

Doing bad things to get followers

Twitter does not allow the use of automation tools to mass follow and unfollow others.

It's known as churning and follow-baiting, and it's bad..

It may seem like a good way to get free twitter followers, but it's the oldest trick in the book.

Twitter knows that you're doing it, and they will take action.

So don't churn.
