1 You Have No Profile Picture
People want to see that you're a real person. You can use a simple headshot or your logo, but never leave it as an egg. Remember people like to connect with "real" people.
2 You Didn't Fill Out Your Bio
Another important element you need to give some attention to is writing your bio. Use keywords to describe who you are in 160 characters or less. This is your chance to tell other Twitter-ers who you are and about your experience and interests. I can guarantee most will look at your profile. Of course, I can't guarantee they'll follow and communicate, but you're a step closer to it.
3 You Use The Follow-unfollow Scheme To Get More Followers
People do this to get attention. Sharing awesome content and engaging with people on your stream is the best way to get attention, not by being gimmicky.
4 Too much negativity.
No one wants to follow a depressing tweeter. Keep your tweets positive and your followers will act accordingly.
5 Not leaving enough space to retweet.
Just because you have 140 characters, doesn't mean you need to use them all. It’s usually a good idea to keep posts to about 120 characters to allow people who re-tweet with the RT format the ability to do so without having to edit your tweet for length.
6 Not shortening links in your Tweets.
This is one of the most common mistakes and it doesn't need to be. Check out link shorteners like bit.ly or ow.ly. You’ll also be able to track the number of clicks the links you’re sharing get with these tools.
7 Long Twitter handles.
If your handle is longer than the first half of your tweet, you’re losing valuable space. Keep handles as short as possible so you have enough room to actually write something.
8 Not responding to Tweets.
If you’re not being social, why are you on social media? You might not be able to respond to everything, but do your best to answer questions and address any negative feedback. And always say thanks when it’s positive.
9 #Hashtag Abuse.
Hashtags are without a doubt the most interesting part of Twitter. But in addition to sometimes being hilarious, they are extremely helpful for organization purposes. Don’t abuse the hashtag, save it for when you need it.
