Twitter Followers – Increase Your Twitter Followers The Easy Way

I recently created my twitter account specifically for this blog. Initially I was too embarrassed to even put my twitter count as it was only showing 40 followers. That figure was pathetic.

I always wondered how none celebrities ever manage to increase their twitter followers by the thousands. It would be an achievement if my followers could even reach the figure of 1000 people. Everyone knows that the more followers you get, the chances of someone visiting your blog increases. Twitter has become one of the best way to increase blog traffic.

After doing much research online I stumbled upon a website called Twitter Follower. This website is create by John Chow.

So what is the big deal with Twitter Follower?

Have you ever encountered the problem when you followed someone but that person does not even bother to follow you? The good news is that Twitter Follower requires each participant to follow people that are currently following them. Sounds confusing? It’s actually quite simple. It’s basically based on the concept of “You follow me, I follow You”. That’s all to it.

It takes less than 5 minutes to set up an account on Twitter Follower. Once you are done, you will be able to see a massive list of Twitter users. All you need to do is start following everyone, but make sure you follow them back or else you might be taken out from the list.

Now for the big question, does it really work?

Just check out my Twitter count. Right now it’s hovering around 700++ followers. Previously I had only 40 followers. Therefore, if you want to increase your followers, Twitter Follower is the way to go.

Blog For Lazy People – What a niche.

I have always try to update my blog at least once every 2 days or so. Recently I have been slacking as I am pretty busy with other stuff. I then wondered, is there such a thing as a blog for lazy people?

I know that there are automated blogs that generates contents from god-knows-where, but this post is not about automated blogs. It’s about the niche “blog for lazy people“.

I was finding an excuse to be lazy today so I decided to surf the internet for this keyword.  And guess what Google returned?

As you can see from the screen shot above, Hubpages is listed second on the search result.  I have mention in my mini eBook, that Hubpages is one of the 12 websites you must visit after you have created your blog. It gets index by Google super fast.

Just out of curiosity I visited the article and the links to the blog. I am not going to tell you what the person wrote on his/her blog but it’s truly for the lazy blogger. It’s good to know that such stuff exist out there.

However I did learn something today. Sometimes you do not need to write blogs about competitive keywords such as how to make money online, search engine optimization or internet marketing. It’s impossible for a newbie blogger like me to compete for these keywords. I will never be able to rank top 100 on Google search let alone rank top 10.

In the next couple of weeks I am going to do a small research on less competitive keywords. Once I have done that, I am going to use blogger to create my free blog and try my best to rank top 10. I am sure that all of you know the top 2 blogs on the term “make money online” is hosted by blogger.

As for the owner of blog for lazy people, I don’t know who you are, but you deserve a backlink from my blog. You have inspired me to come out with a new blog with a less competitive keyword.

5 Ways To Increase Your Mailing List

1. Offer free e-books

Everyone loves free stuff. One of the best freebies that you can give your readers is a short e-book that is related to your niche for example, how to make money online. This will provide the user with extra encouragement to sign up.
 

2. Allow visitors to publish your articles.

One great way is to allow your visitor to publish your articles. However they will need to request your permission first before publishing the articles on their blog. The fastest way for them to do that is by contacting you is through a request form on your blog. They will then fill in the necessary details, including their email, in the form.

 

3. Prove to your visitors why they must subscribe

One of the reasons why people might be hesitant to subscribe to any free content is because of email spam. Therefore you should convince your readers why your newsletters are not just another source of spam. The best way of course it to write quality content on your blog. That way your blog content will speak for itself and the readers will know what they will be expecting in their email.
 

4. Write a personal thank you note to your reader

You might have notice that some readers do provide useful comments on your blog post. It is good practice to reply to any comments on your blog. However, if the comments are really valuable and add extra value to the exiting post, take the time to send them a personal “thank you” email. This will not only create a more personal bond between blog owner and reader but provides you the opportunity for that particular reader to recommend your blog to someone else.
 

5. Create a membership drive contest

You can create a membership drive by making it as a contest. Everyone loves to participate in contest because they know there will be prizes to be won. However you should clearly define the rules and regulation before the start of the contest to avoid confusion and misunderstandings.

The methods mention above will definitely increase the number of readers to subscribe to your mailing list. Remember, that people will only subscribe to your mailing list if you have something valuable to offer. If not, your email will either head directly for the spam or deleted mail bin.
