I wouldn't consider myself to be a Twitter Guru but I've been tweeting since 2009 so I do know a thing or two about the good old Twitter Machine. I have so much fun in Twitter that it had now become a part of my daily life. (Follow me! @DevilRays9) I really wish you can make full use of Twitter and have as much fun as I do, hence, the birth of this blog post.
1. Put a real photo of yourself and write a short but detailed bio about your interests.
More people will tend to follow you if they have an idea of what you look like. It does not have to be a glamorous shot, a casual nice picture will do. It's what you tweet that matters most in the end.
For your bio, write as much as possible the interests that you are into. Most often than not, people with the same interests will start following you. End your bio with an interesting or funny tagline. For example, I tweet for a living, nah just joking, I live for the tweeting...
2. What to tweet? 65% personal 35% your opinion of the current affairs.
3. Don't Diarrhoea Tweet!
Yup........ I will say 3 to 5 tweets per hour is the best tweeting speed. 3 tweets per min, which I have encountered before, definitely diarrhoea. Continuous tweets is ok if you can't express yourself in 1 tweet but make it short and sweet, at most 3 parts.
4. Don't keep moaning, moaning, moaning.
Yup........ Yes, we are only human, of course there's always something to moan about. 2 to 3 moans per day is acceptable. It is even interesting for us to know a few personal annoyances of your everyday life. But if most of your tweets are moaning, Twitterers will soon get annoyed of you. You will be unfollowed faster than Justin Bieber getting arrested again. People do still love positivity more!
5. Interacting with your followers.
Make it an effort to interact with your followers. Reply as much tweets as possible, talk to them if they mention something that interests you, retweet or favourite followers tweets which you think are witty or interesting. Also, try to follow back as much of your followers as possible. Be their friends and make them feel appreciated.
6. Be humorous, try to get retweeted as much as possible and tweet regularly.
Followers love to have a laugh, so try to include something that make them chuckle in between your tweets. Don't worry if being funny is not your strength, retweet funny tweets from your followers! I promise you there are many jokers, I mean witty people in Twitter.
Another great way of gaining more followers is to get your tweets retweeted. Followers will tend to retweet tweets that are funny or informative. Also, try to tweet regular if you are serious about getting more followers, at least 3-5 tweets everyday!
7. Most importantly, ignore trolls and don't become one!
The majority of twitterers are amazing, awesome and friendly people but you will definitely encounter rude and insulting tweeps sometimes. I did and made a mistake trying to fight back. (Read my mistake here.) Don't! Just ignore and block them! And remember, don't become a troll yourself! If you disagree with the tweet from another twitterer, you may tweet your opinion to them graciously but don't get into an argument.
Getting unfollowed it's a normal thing that happens in Twitter. They might unfollow you for a various of reasons but don't be too bothered about it, you will get new followers faster than you know it! And if you want to unfollow people, just unfollow silently. You do not have to announce to the world why you unfollow them, no one cares about your reason! Be considerate to the feeling of the people you just unfollowed!
Last words. Your main aim in Twitter should not be to get as much followers as possible. Your goal is to find twitterers with same interests as yours and to have fun interacting with them! Quality is definitely more important than quantity in Twitter! Now go have fun!

You might think that hell, it's my twitter page and I will tweet what I want but believe it or not, twitteris actually a public site and all the people in the world can actually see what you are tweeting! If 100% of the things you tweet is about yourself, as interesting as you are, users will judge you to be a vain little *beep*. Try to give a few opinions on the current affairs that interests you too to
show that you do care about the world as well, even celebrities do that. But do be sensitive about your opinions, you can be arrested for posting controversial remarks.
