Social media is a great platform for us to communicate with other people. Most of us want to be popular in these social medias, because there will be more people following you and you will have a chance to communicate with all kinds of people, even some famous people. However, the point is how to be attractive on social media? How to make others follow you?

From an article from Technorati, which named 10 ways to grow your followers on social media, we can easily find out the answer.

The author gives us 10 methods:

1. Follow people in your target audience

2. Share other people’s content

3. Focus your content

4. Leverage Google Authorship

5. Keep your update consistent

6. Build your Facebook profile to attract more users to your page

7. Make your social icons prominent on your website

8. Include your profiles in your email signature

9. Join LinkedIn Groups

10. Build relationships with industry influencers.

All these are useful for us to grow followers. People would like to follow you because you are “real”. The “real” can be represented by many ways; for example, building your Facebook profile, people can see who you are, what you interested in and what you do everyday. Another key point is to share other people’s content. For instance, if I am a fan of NBA, and today I just shared a Lebron James’s status, maybe other fans of him would comment the shared status and we might have opportunity know each other. Social media is so indispensable for us nowadays,  also it will not be so hard to get more follower on your social media, if you follow the above rules.
