On Monday, I gave you my opinion on why who you follow is more important than who follows you on Twitter. That said, we all want people to follow us on Twitter.

So, why is it that some people attract a lot of followers and others struggle? Below are 10 quick tips to get new followers on Twitter:

1. Leverage Your Network. If you already have a blog or a large network on a site like Facebook, leverage that resource to get your existing audience to follow you on Twitter.

2. Be Active. Nothing sucks worse than a dead Twitter profile. So, be consistent and try to tweet a few times per day.
