This one of the Twitter basics that we all need to do. It only takes a couple of minutes each day to like 30+ tweets of other profiles and is one of the best Twitter tricks used by the pros.

This is where you go from a Twitter for beginners tutorial and make your way to the advanced section. Since our target audience on Twitter are people looking for products or services, we focus on #shopping and all items related to that subject such as Fashion, Sport, Tech, Bikes, Gifts, and so forth.

#3 Like Twitter tweets that have mentions of Twitter users that have a similar audience to yours.

This is another one of the many Twitter marketing tips that the pros live by. All you have to do is perform a search for the username and then go through and like those tweets.

#4 Create a Twitter list of people to target.

This is a great way to get more Twitter followers because as you add people to your list, they are going to get a notification showing that you added them to a list. Most will return the favour by following you back.

#5 Email your list and let them know you will retweet any nice mentions.

This is one of the most effective Twitter strategies out there as it drives engagement and gives you a bunch of testimonials to use.

If you are using Twitter for business, then this is a great way to increase Twitter engagement.
