There are a few great ways to build your follower totals while you’re on Twitter. Creating great Tweets and following others come to mind. If you’re really looking to grow in the follower department, however, you need to take your game off the Twitter site.

Here are a few off-Twitter strategies you can use to promote your Twitter URL and to boost your follower count.

First, append your email signature to include your Twitter URL. Business contacts who participate in Twitter are likely to follow you and others may do likewise. This only takes a second and can make a big difference.

Second, make sure you include your Twitter URL in your forum signatures, if you participate in any forums. While you’re at it, add that URL to your profile, too.

Third, be certain that you’re indicating your Twitter involvement on all of your other web properties. That means you need to have your badge up on your blog AND on your static sites.

The more you can do to spread the word, the better. If you want to maximize your follower potential, take advantage of every opportunity you can.
