What You Really Need To Know About FollowFriday On Twitter
Social media has become a powerful tool for connecting people and building relationships. Among the many sites that you can use, Twitter allows you to communicate faster than all the others because of its simple, streamlined interface. You can promote yourself or your company to those who follow you, but a more interesting part of Twitter is what has become commonly known as “#FollowFriday”. This lets you to recommend your favorite followers and the messages they have written you during the week. It also strengthens your relationship and exposes your messages to their followers too, which serves to promote both their profile as well as your own.
You can make this a regular part of your Twitter routine. Once a week, determine 5 people that you would like to build a relationship with. This could be followers that you already have, but this system works best with new relationships. Get their Twitter name and post them a Tweet: “Great person to #FollowFriday @username.” This is a recommendation that you give to all of your followers who will hopefully befriend them and grow their subscriber base. Of course, if you can add a bit about WHY you recommend this account, that’s even better.
When you do this, the person that you recommended will see what you said which will intrigue them into learning more about you. Perhaps that is what is best about this technique; that you have to give something in order to get something.
This works for your existing customer or client base, but it also works with future partners or clients too. It’s a good way to keep in touch with people who you tweet with occasionally and remind them to continue communicating. There are many programs, like Tweetizen and Hootsuite, too, that will help you group your followers or schedule conversations that you might want to remember for your next #FollowFriday.
