How do some people get thousands of followers on Twitter even if they aren't famous whatsoever?

[Micaela]

There are people I follow who have 10K+ followers on Twitter, and they don't have any celebrities following them, nor do THEY follow a bunch of people for followbacks. I just don't get how they do that? Please no rude answers I'm just bored and curious oh and this my twitter if you want to follow me

If u love for example 1D say that in ur bio and keep on posting things about them and try to take the celebrities attention !!

They advertise their twitter on alot of social networks and websites
And they will follow other people back if they follow, ask their followers to follow them and so forth

There are many ways to get followers. Here are some ways to naturally build Twitter Followers.

- Talk and create discussions with other twitter members who have the same interests as you. Search for key phrase you are interested in and then start tweeting to people. Many of the people you talk to may end up following you.

- The next thing you can do is follow others. Many people have auto-follow software. So when you follow them, they will follow you back. And even if they do not have this you will still get quite a few hits. But still do this with people you are interested in, that is the key.

- Make sure you have a full profile and profile picture. If you have an egg most people are not going to follow you.

- Use hashtags. This is a great way to get your tweets out to thousands of other people. Users are searching for tags every second of every day.

- Make sure you tweet at least a few times a day. Studies have shown that users with more tweets have more followers. People will unfollow you if you hardly ever tweet.

They use the lure of quality content. This can be funny or interesting tweets that draw people and make them want to follow them. You should check your tweets to see if people are finding them interesting.
