1. Follow everyone who follows you. It might seem counterintuitive to do this when you're focused on gaining followers, but it's a good practice.
2. Regularly unfollow people who haven't followed you back. This is especially important to avoid follow limits. The first limit you'll probably hit is when you've followed 2,000 people. You won't be able to follow any more until you have 2,000 followers. As you follow and get followed, it'll become time-consuming to "clean up" your list (unfollow people who aren't following you back). There are services that can help you with that: (FriendOrFollow) or (TweetAdder)
3. Follow people who follow spammers.
4. Follow people who autofollow. Follow everyone on the list at SocialNewsWatch in order to get an easy 237 new followers."Twitter celebrities" are also likely to follow you back automatically.
5. Make a good avatar. The simplest and most personal way to go is a photograph of your face looking straight into the lens--no funny angles, and nothing else in the photo. Crop it into a square, but don't shrink it down; you want people to be able to click on it and see the larger version
6. Write up a good bio. It's important that people know who you are and what you're interested in. Selective followers will read your bio before deciding whether to follow you back.
7. Tweet well and tweet often. Selective followers will also glance at your most recent tweets to see if you're worth following
8. Ask people to retweet you.
9. Use hashtags. This is another way to connect to people with similar interests. Add hashtags to your tweets, and also create tweets based on hashtags that are popular on Twitter at the time
10. Follow people who follow people who are like you. If you're a tarot fanatic, for example, find another tarot fanatic who has many followers. Follow those followers. If it's clear in your bio and your tweets that you're a tarot enthusiast, they're more likely to follow you.
