Actually I started my YouTube channel before Twitter and I wanted traffic for my YouTube channel, So I started working on Twitter for gaining traffic for my YouTube channel but initially I didn't work as much but when I knew the power of Social media for gaining traffic I started working on Twitter almost daily.
As you know the power of social media, Mostly people ask me, How to get followers on Twitter, So for those people who want me to tell them, How to get followers on social media, Must read this article.
Here I will tell you 16 steps to get 10,000 followers in a month.
Step 1:- Hardworking
First you have to do hardwork.... But how?
Don't worry.... I tell you.
I see many people don't use Twitter daily, It is because they use Twitter on their Desktop computers.
So sometimes they have time to use computer and sometimes they don't have any time to use computer, That'swhy they cannot work
on Twitter daily.
I used to do like that, for long time I didn't install Twitter on my android phone, But I would use Twitter on my Desktop computer but when I came to know that Phone is very effective for working on Twitter daily, I installed Twitter on my Android Phone.
It is because of phone, I can use Twitter any time and daily.
So my dear Friends First of all You install Twitter on your Android/iOS phone and work on Twitter daily.
Step 2: Make Your Profile Work For You!

When you show your profile or Logo, People see your profile, They know you and obviously because of your profile they trust on you and then they can follow you.
Step 3: Follow People!
Mostly when we follow the people, People follow us back.
This strategy works and I do this.
Step 4: Tweet
Tweet is the most important part of Twitter.
you should tweet 10 to 20 times a day.

It is because when you retweet other people's tweet they appreciate it and they retweet your tweet also, And this action makes you acceptable for people on Twitter and this action create friendly environment on Twitter.

Knowing the best time of day to tweet is essential if you want to make the most out of your Twitter presence and engagement.
You have to think about where your target audience is located in the world.
One effective way is to see world clock where you can see what countries are currently in daylight or nighttime hours, And then you can tweet on right time easily.
Step 8: Pin a Post to the Top of Your Tweets
When you pin your post to the top of your Tweets, It gets people's attention whenever they visit your Twitter profile, So pinning a post is an effective tool to promote your most important content, And as your priorities change you can update which Tweet you pin at the top of your profile.
Step 9: Tweet with Photos
Using photos is something I am working on myself.
Actually when you include photos in your Tweet, You get 40% more retweets
When you include photos in your Tweet It makes your Tweet more visually interesting.
And you can get more followers.
Step 10: Don't ignore people
When someone tweets you, Mention you or message you, Please don't ignore it.
When someone messages me, I must reply him/her even If I have no time to reply, I just write "Thank you so much"
OR Thanks for message or Tweet.
Step 11: Use people's names
I would like to take the extra three seconds to click over to a user's profile, find his/her first name and use it in my response.
People like to call them with their names, It makes the interaction with people, So always use people's name.
Step 12: You can use your Personal Photo in your profile

It is also a good strategy to use your face on Twitter's Background.
When people see your face they think this person is looking helpful and his/her Tweets can be interesting so they follow you.

Here I want to tell you that after following the people other day you check your follower list and If you see that they didn't follow you back you unfollow them and you do it everyday.
By doing this you can get everyday new followers.
I do it almost everyday and I get New followers.
