How to take part in #followfriday on Twitter

#followfriday is the most important time of the week for any charity. It’s a day to give Twitter some extra love and reap the rewards of increased supporter discovery.

Here is how it works:

You send a message to your stream that mentions followers you really like or that have helped you that week, some people put reasons why, others just a list of followers to thank.

Example:

The people in the message will see your #followfriday and probably give you one back. It’s how we say thank you in the Twitterverse,

Why is it so important?

Twitter users love to discover each other  and will be watching for interesting recommendations from their followers and will probably follow you.

Get in the mix and start #followfriday. You might be surprised how many supporters you have once they see you taking part. If you get mentioned in a list check out the other people and follow them if they interest you. We can guarantee they are doing the same to you.

We would also strongly recommend you give #charitytuesday a go as well.
