How to connect with your followers
Pro tips: Get more Twitter followers
Overview
Build a following that loves your Tweets
Hoping to build a larger following on Twitter? Try these pro tips to get more people seeing and sharing your Tweets.
Write and share great Tweets
Share noteworthy, interesting content and the followers will come naturally.
Tell a story with Tweet threads
Use Tweet threads to express your thoughts across multiple Tweets, to resurface related Tweets, or to build on connecting ideas across Tweets. Compose a Tweet thread at one time by using the “Add another Tweet” button or reply to your own previous Tweets to build a thread that way.
Tweet with flair
Break up your Tweets by branching away from only words. Add some visuals to show variety in your content:
- Add emojis, photos, videos, or GIFs to your Tweets to tell stories in a different way
- Share links (a video, article, etc.) and Quote Tweet to add your POV
Pro Tip
Add to conversations with a hashtag
Hashtags categorize Tweets and can introduce people to your profile even if they didn’t follow you previously. Try Tweeting with some popular hashtags to get what you say in front of some new eyes. You may get some new followers!
Perfect your profile
Keep your profile updated to show you’re someone that’s active on Twitter and worth a follow.
Update your profile often
How often do you update your profile? If you haven’t touched it since signing up for Twitter, it’s probably time to change it up.
People on Twitter often update their profiles:
- Keep your photo or banner image updated (even if it’s not a photo of yourself)
- Refresh your bio with your interests or a memorable phrase

Pin your best Tweet
Take your profile further by finding a Tweet of yours you’re proud of and pining it to the top of your profile. Pinning a Tweet means it’s the first one someone will see when they visit your profile.
You can choose what to pin by tapping the icon at the top right of a Tweet and choosing “Pin to your profile.”
You can only pin one Tweet at a time, so check out what others have pinned for inspiration, or find new Tweets of yours to switch pins often!
Recap
Building followers on Twitter takes time and it starts by fine tuning what you share about yourself.
Take steps to build your following by focusing on your own account:
- Tell a story with Tweet threads or by adding flair to your Tweets
- Update your profile often to show you’re active on Twitter
- Pin a Tweet you’re proud of to show your profile visitors
