We could definitely relate to some of their points. It’s easy to find yourself Tweeting the same things day after day. According to the article, by mixing up your Tweets, not only will you increase you number of followers, but your will also encourage you followers to be more engaged.

Here are their suggestions:

• Poll your followers, and post the results after they respond
• Offer a productivity tip (regardless of your niche, they’ll appreciate it!)
• Share an infographic, podcast or video as opposed to simply linking to text-based articles
• Start a hashtag chat
• Share a cool statistic about your niche or industry
• Tweet Twitter-related news or tips (after all, you and your followers both use the medium)
• Don’t wait for Follow Friday to highlight great followers! Give them some love if they deserve it
• Create a hashtag for and tips that you share, and include it with all related tweets
• Tweet about a favorite TV show or movie, which will show your followers your fun side
