Hello Guys Now I am showing Below is a listing of our top 10 favorite Twitter tips and tricks. These tips and tricks help to make your Twitter user experience more enjoyable and can help increase your followers.

Twitter

Customize

• You Change your profile picture. Use a picture of yourself to make it seem more personalized if this is your personal Twitter account.
• Utilize as much of the 160-character limit Twitter BIO space allows. Include keywords your followers or potential followers may be trying to find.
• Create your own background image. However, do not make the image too much like an ad or sales pitch. The background image must be less than 800k and we recommend a size of 1600x1200 for a large image or smaller if you plan on tiling the image or just having it on the left-hand side. Finally, keep in mind that smaller resolutions and monitor sizes hide much of the background.

• Search for your website or blog URL and see if others are mentioning your page.
• Search for anything near you by adding near:"city state". For example, typingnear:"Salt lake city Utah" club would return current tweets that have happened in Salt Lake City, Utah with the keyword club in them.
• Find people whom you may enjoy following by searching for keywords that interested you.
• If you do not want tweets with links add ? -filter:links at the end of your search query.
• Need more options, use the Advanced Twitter search.
• Any time you get excellent results, click the "Save this search" button to save them. For those with the old Twitter interface, these results can then be found under "Saved Searches" on the right-hand part of your profile. For those with the new interface, they are under the "Searches" tab next to your timeline.

Followers

• Engage followers.
• Do not follow too many people. No one wants to follow someone following thousands of people with only 10 followers.
• Retweet interesting posts.
• Retweet and participate in conversations with people with lots of followers.
• Realize it is impossible for anyone to read every tweet.
• When first joining do not follow hundreds of people, doing this may mark you as a bot.

Create useful and interesting tweets

• Try to make all your tweets informative, useful, or funny.
• Do not post mundane posts, e.g. eating a bowl of cereal.
• Add hashtags to your tweets. For example, if your tweet is about computers, consider adding #computer in the tweet.
• Tweet frequently. No one is going to follow someone they do not know who has not tweeted in months. Try to tweet a few times a week or daily if you can manage.
• Do not whine or complain. Most people unfollow anyone who constantly whines or complains.
