How to get more followers on twitter?

[Esther Loh]

Question:How do I get followers? Can I ask someone to follow me?
Answer:There is no way to ask other users to follow you on Twitter.
Though some users send an @reply to others asking them to follow; this is not a good way to gain followers. 
Avoid third party applications that promise to get you many followers – these usually break our terms of service and can get your account suspended. 
The best way to gain friends and fans on Twitter is to engage with people, follow others whose Tweets are interesting or meaningful to you, and be an active part of the Twitter community by reading and posting high-quality information.
