Twitter Followers

"How do you get so many followers on twitter?" Is one of my most frequented question on my ask.fm and twitter inbox, with my growing total of twenty thousand followers (to some people It may not seem much but Its a start) and since Ive been on Twitter for aprox. three years ( Ive learnt quite a few tricks from It) I have decided to dedicate a hole blogger page to It (oh yeahhhh) hoping It will help you all :

• First of all , Twitter Is a microblogging social network wich allows you to create messages who go by the name of tweets in a space of 140 characters (unless you have been living under a rock you will obviously know what twitter is duhh!) wich means your tweets are a unique piece of information wich all your followers will read , therefor If you are looking to make your twitter follower count grow you will NOT copy other peoples tweets thats what the retweet button Is for! Be original , be you (omg this Is starting to sound like a Nike advert)
• Find something to tweet about , no one is really interested when you go to the toilet (unless you are Harry Styles) so decide If your twitter account will be a personal , fangirl or just simple rando twitter.
• If you choose to orient your Twitter account into fangirling, that will automatically make you get 100 times more followers than people who use Twitter to talk to their friends , fangirls want to follow other fangirls who will make comments on a bands new single or a new rumour
• If the hole fangirl thing Is too much for you , you can still get loads of followers thanks to them by putting something 1D or JB related on your bio/name , also, most fandoms are constantly creating the so called "follow party" in wich someone makes a tweet asking people to retweet it If they want to gain followers , normally, If you follow all of the people who retweet these tweets there is a 90% chance they will follow back . Search on twitter for #directionersfollowparty etc to find these tweets.

• The basic ways of getting twitter followers (unless you are super duper amazing verified account or simply have amazing tweets) is following people back! but dont worry If your timline starts filling up you can always unfollow a few using apps like manageflitter, whounfollowed me etc
• Another way of getting more followers Is putting/linking your Twitter account on your other social networking sites profiles such as Instagram, Facebook etc. so more people will see It!
• If you are lucky enough to be followed by someone famous this will also boost that follower counter upwards ! For example when Mr, Louis Tomlinson followed me on Twitter I gained over two thousand followers In an hour !!
• You must also know that people on twitter LIE , dont click on any link promising you to gain over 89137381931 thousand followers In an hour because It will just be a spam website.
• If you want to gain followers but you are WAY TO LAZY (dont worry I understand you perfectly , aint nobody got time for that!) to do any of the suggested ways to get followers I have listed before ,you can always ask a big account to shout you out (make sure you dont spam them because If not they will probably just Ignore you)  
• You can always ask me for a shoutout (@livelove1dir) and If I see your tweet I will most defonately give you a shoutout , also try following some of my latest followers because most of them will follow you back !

Retweets

Most people relate having loads of followers to having loads of retweets but they are wrong ! Just because your Twitter counter says that you have 100+ followers that doesnt mean your tweets will be getting 100+ retweets , this Is due to the different time zones your followers are from and your ability to engage them all.

There are two simple ways to get retweets:

• Write your own tweets and never copy from others , people dont want to retweet something they have already read  500 times also try not to be offensive or rude to annyone because that will get you just the opposite of retweets
• To get retweets use the hastags and the most used trending World Wide Topics this will allow more people outside of your follower list to see your comments and retweet them (happy times hahha)
