Practical ways to grow your Social Media following?

By Corey Graham 2.0

What a question! There are a lot of tricks to the trade and tactics people use to get quick followers. However they all have to be based on the core values of finding friends we all know. Some of them might abuse it, but it’s pretty much based on the same principles. I break these down as -

- Get attention and show your valuable.
- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (The Golden Rule)

If you want real humans following you, rather than fake accounts or spam generated accounts, you have to be golden.

Here are some tips for growing your followers the practical way. Oh and let me be blunt, this will take time! Even if you find some time saving tactics. It will still take time and energy to get done.

Final thing before I get directly into the practical advice. Think about an entertainer local or international that's really loved. Actually it could be anyone you notice who tends to have lots of friends and people around them.
Ask yourself, what makes people want to be around them?

While you chew on that, let me throw the practical advice at you.

Keep the Golden Rule in mind - do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Engage people - This is pretty simple follow people on twitter. Ask questions to specific people, esp. your key customers. How do you feel when a company you love asks your opinion publicly?

Sharable content - Create content that people can and are willing to share at the click of a button.

Keeping it updated - Make sure people can trust to have the latest information from your social media.

Get listed - place your url wherever is appropriate. Your Email signature and your directory is a good place to start.

Network - Just like you would at a cocktail party, go and meet the people you think would be interested in what you are doing.

Good luck with growing your followers. Be Golden.
