6 Ways To Increase Your Business' Followers on Twitter

Are you looking for ways to increase your Business’ following on Twitter? Included in this article are five ways that you can boost your followers. These steps are easy to take and will help improve the amount your total amount of followers to increase and make your twitter feed more popular.

First you can start by putting a follow me button on your business’ blog page. If you put your follow me button on the blog page, not only will you be helping people know you have a twitter but they can simply click and begin to follow your feed. This follow me button can also be placed on your Business’ webpage, giving an extra place for people to see that you have a twitter account.

Another way that you can help to increase your business’ following is by placing your twitter webpage link inside of your e-mail signature. This will give those whom you e-mail a place to see that you are involved in Twitter, and a direct link to your account.

If you have a business card, or you plan on creating a new business card, it is also another place that you can place your twitter on. By putting your twitter account name on your business card, each person who receives your card will be able to have access to your twitter and see that your company is also using twitter.

While your company has a twitter account another easy way to get your Business’ followers increased is by putting your twitter account on Stumbleupon, Digg or other social bookmarking sites. This will also get your twitter out there and help people to click on your page and get your company more traffic.

Another simple way to receive more followers for your business is by following other businesses. This will show that you are out there involved in businesses other then your own. Perhaps they too will agree to follow you and direct some more traffic to your twitter.

With a SocialOomph Professional account, you have the following additional benefits on top of the existing free features:
Easily Find Quality Twitter Users To Follow With Keywords That You Define
Enter your keywords and we will search for Twitter users and/or StatusNet users who tweet about those topics and present them to you so that you can decide whether you want to follow them or not.
Enter your keywords and we will search for Twitter users and/or StatusNet users who tweet about those topics and present them to you so that you can decide whether you want to follow them or not.
On Twitter accounts, the system will automatically add new friends (once you approve them) into your Twitter lists. You can connect a list to a specific keyword or to several keywords. Friends that are found with that keyword will be added to the list of your choice. For example, you could define a keyword of "@yourusername" (which will find people who mention you) and create a private list called "Mentioned Me", which you connect to that keyword. Friend Finder will then add the people who mention you to your Mentioned Me list. Instruct the system to maintain the list at a size of your choice (up to a maximum 500 Twitter accounts), and the system will automatically rotate out the oldest entries when it adds new ones to the list.
Tell the system to automatically ignore any Twitter or StatusNet account that has been flagged as SPAM or has been blocked by any of your fellow SocialOomph users.
The system selects candidate Twitter and/or StatusNet users, according to your criteria, and places them on a queue where you can very easily review them and decide whether you want to follow or ignore the person. You see the Twitter and StatusNet users in one integrated console. The Friend Finder is not a mass following tool. It is a tool to easily find quality users whom you can follow if you choose to do so.
You can opt to auto-follow the candidates on your review queue if you do not vet them within a certain time period.
Why spend hours searching for and ferreting out quality Twitter and StatusNet users to follow? You need to do searches, view their profiles, check the numbers and then hit the calculator to compute the ratios. We remove all that time and effort for you. The only thing you need to do is quickly review those profiles that have passed through your filters and decide whether you want to follow them or not in one easy step.
With Friend Finder you can throw a salute and say, "Bye bye spammers!"
Schedule Your Facebook Status Updates
Now you can keep your Facebook status updates fresh by scheduling them to appear on your Facebook account at the dates and times of your choosing. No need to rush or find online access just to login to Facebook and post a time-sensitive update. Schedule it in our system and we will make sure that it gets on Facebook at the right time.
In similar vein of updating your Facebook status, you can schedule updates to be posted to the wall of any Facebook Page of which you are an administrator.
We never ask for your Facebook login credentials. Our application uses the secure Facebook Connect technology, as provided by Facebook, to perform the tasks you request on your account. You explicitly grant our application limited access only for what we need to do, and revoking that access is easily done from either your SocialOomph account or your Facebook account.
Submit Social Updates via Email
Send emails from your existing email address to an email address that you own (on your own server, or on Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) and have those emails turned into standard social updates and published on your Twitter account(s), your Facebook account(s), your Facebook Page(s), and other social accounts.
Imagine if Mary sends an email from mary@yourdomain.com to technicaltips@yourdomain.com, that email will be published as a social update on your Twitter account, tagged with ^Mary, and on your Facebook Page with no author tag. If she sends an email from mary@yourdomain.com to marketingtweets@yourdomain.com, the email will be published as a social update to your Twitter account and will be tagged with ^MaryM. When Peter sends an email from peter@yourdomain.com to marketingtweets@yourdomain.com, the email will be published to your Twitter account and will be tagged with ^Peter. That's what you can do with this feature, and more.
Have the updates automatically tagged with author tags that you define (eg., ^Mary or ^JohnD). The tags are under your control. The employees cannot change or override them.
Only emails sent from an authorized email address (you do the granting and removal of authorization) to a specific target email address that you own are processed and turned into social updates.
Your employees need only their existing email accounts, nothing more. They do not need a SocialOomph account. All you need is one SocialOomph Professional account, where you authorize the email addresses of the employees whom you want to submit updates to your social accounts.
Schedule & Publish Blog Posts
Integrate your social media updates with your blog posts in one central command center, namely your SocialOomph account. Your blog posts are shown integrated with your social media updates so that you can see exactly when what is going to publish.
You can add as many blogs as you want in your one SocialOomph account, and schedule posts for them all.
We provide you with a feature-rich WYSIWYG editor to write your blog posts, so that you can create and format them exactly the way you want.
As long as your blog has one of the following remote publishing APIs, you can schedule posts for it: Tumblr, Posterous, WordPress API (wordpress.com and self-hosted), metaWeblog API, Movable Type API, Blogger API, and Atom API.
In addition to writing and scheduling blog posts, you can also grab one or more (in fact as many as you like) RSS feed(s) and automatically create blog post entries from the entries on the RSS feed(s). At the same time, you can also publish updates to social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) using those same entries on the RSS feed.
Define Your Own Tweet Viewing/Grouping Channels And Focus On Specific Topics Of Interest
Define your own tweet channels so that you can see tweets from a selected number of friends, or from other selected Twitter or StatusNet accounts, or from Twitter Search keywords, in your own private viewing channel. It's like your own tweet timeline on Twitter or StatusNet, except a channel contains only the tweets from those Twitter or StatusNet users, or Twitter Search keywords that you include in the channel.
Define an unlimited number of channels.
You can include Twitter users and StatusNet users and Twitter Search keywords in the same channel!
No need to follow someone to include that person in a channel.
Specify how many tweets from each person / keyword you want to include in a channel.
Easily Discover Followers Who Have The Most Clout
We analyze your list of followers on Twitter and StatusNet accounts and show you the top fifty followers who have the most clout, judged in terms of the number of people who follow them.
Easily contact those followers.
Build relationships with the folks who have the most clout and develop mutually beneficial cooperation on shared interests.
These folks are already following you, which means they are interested in you, and you can DM them. Leverage that interest!
Manage The Direct Messages Of All Your Accounts On One Page And Automatically Filter Out SPAM
Fire up your Direct Message Manager where you easily manage the direct messages of all your Twitter and StatusNet accounts from one central and integrated console. Twitter and StatusNet DMs are shown in one integrated console, sorted by date.
Easily customise your Direct Message Manager to suit your exact needs by:

* Including or excluding certain Twitter and StatusNet accounts,
* Setting the number of DMs to display for each account (e.g., max 10 DMs from account "X", 5 DMs from account "Y", 15 DMs from account "Z", etc.)
* Color-code each account so you don't have to squint and wonder on what account a DM came in.

Automatically filter out SPAM by choosing one of several settings. When you mark something as SPAM, you can tell the system to:

* Just delete the DM (select this option if you've taken a dose of happy gas),
* Delete the DM and also automatically delete any future DMs from the person (the happy gas has worn off a little),
* Delete the DM and unfollow the person (that will teach them a lesson),
* Delete the DM, unfollow the person, and also block the person (while wearing your best satisfied and evil grin).

Automatically weed out DMs that contain SPAM words, which you define.
Benefit from the collective SPAM assessments of your fellow SocialOomph Professional users. You can tell the system to treat as SPAM any Twitter or StatusNet account that any other SocialOomph user has already marked as SPAM.
