Vine is a social network on the rise that caters to our seven second attention spans. That means someone who watches your Vine will be able to pay attention to it from start to finish. However, the only way more people will pay attention to your Vines is if you are able to grow your audience. Here are 10 ways to grow your audience by getting more followers on Vine.

Make your avatar look professional. People always judge others on their first impression, and we all judge a book by its cover. You need to have a professional avatar of yourself. It is important to note that on Vine, professional does not always mean a buttoned down shirt and tie. In this case, professional means a non-blurry picture of yourself. Be sure to smile in the picture so people can see based on your avatar that you are a jovial person.
Have a good bio. When people go over to learn about who you are, your bio needs to be something that allows people to know who you are while being enticing at the same time. In this bio, it is important to make it crystal clear about what you create Vines about.
Post one Vine every day. The more active you are on Vine, the more people will be enticed to follow you and the farther your Vines can potentially spread. Being active is very important towards your success on Vine.
Post the types of Vines that people would want to watch. Just because something is only six seconds long does not necessarily mean it is something we want to watch. If your Vine looks unengaging and not interesting, people will skip over the Vine without following you.
Follow other users. There are many people who will follow you back if you follow them. Vine has come out with new features in the activity tab that make it easier for someone to see who recently followed them.
Like and revine other people’s Vines. Some people will follow you just because you liked and/or revined one of their vines. This concept is similar to following other users for the follow back.
Offer a giveaway. You can give away one of your products to someone who revines your Vine. That will allow your video to spread and get more visibility. Some people will follow you just for the giveaway, but as the giveaway progresses, some of these people may continue following you because of the videos you post on Vine.
Interact with your audience. That means respond to comments and tell your audience about your other social networks. It seems as if more famous Viners than ever are telling their audiences what their SnapChats are so interactions can turn into private 1-on-1 based interactions.
Be the type of person others would want to follow. Be a humorous optimist instead of a dull pessimist. Your happiness and love for Vining are big factors to growing a big audience.
Do not give in. I do not know how close these figures are, but regardless of what they actually are, the message is quite clear. 97% of Viners end up watching videos from the 3%–the Viners who stuck with it, remained consistent, and now have large audiences. If you stick with it long enough, you may end up becoming one of the people in the 3%.

No matter how much knowledge you have about getting more Vine followers, implementation and sticking with the journey combined with the knowledge is the only combination of components that will allow you to be successful on Vine.

7 Ways To Get More Followers On Vine Fast

July 13, 2014 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

Although Vine is not as big as Twitter or Facebook, it has millions of members that generate a lot of engagement. When Instagram came out with its 15 second video loop, many people thought that Vine was dead. Remember when people tweeted out things like, “Vine (2013-2013)?” Those days are over, and people are now searching for ways to get more followers on Vine. Speaking of getting more followers on Vine, here are seven ways that you can do that.

Follow other people. I follow the people who are following those “I Follow Back” accounts. Vine is the only social network that I do this for, but it works. On a typical day, when I follow enough people, I am able to gain 300 followers every day. This even happened when I didn’t send a Vine for an entire month. I just continued to follow these people’s followers to grow my audience.
Post 1 Vine every day. Although the first method grows your following without requiring you to post on Vine, you will be able to spread faster on Vine by posting often. The people with millions of followers on Vine are the ones who post new vines consistently. Their audience shares their content and ultimately results in the vines spreading. If people who happen to see your vines think they are good, then those people will decide to follow you.
Tweet out your vines. Tweets with vines get more engagement than the tweets without vines. In addition, you get to tap into the audience that you already built on Twitter. If you continue tweeting your vines, your Vine audience will grow as your Twitter audience grows.
Tell your friends about your Vine account. Your friends may be the first ones to like and revine your vines (which allows your vines to spread). The likes and revines may not come right away, but if you tell enough of your friends about your vines, some of those friends will help your vines spread.
Get a group of friends together and do vines together. It seems as if there multiple groups of famous viners who happen to know each other and appear in each other’s vines. If you get a group of friends together to do the same thing, you will all have each other’s audiences. If you get five of your friends who have 1,000 followers each, that’s an audience of 5,000. As you tag each other in various vines, members of the audience will learn to enjoy your vines and your friends’ vines.
Use Instagram. Vine allows you to create 6 second videos that repeat in a loop, but they do not allow you to take pictures. Instagram is the solution. When you need to take a picture, take one with Instagram. Then, be sure to tell people on Vine to follow you on Instagram. The more social networks people follow you on, the less likely they will be to forget about you.
Comment on other people’s vines. Leaving comments on other people’s vines is an easy way to get noticed. When you comment on other people’s vines, don’t just ask for a shoutout or a follow back. Instead, leave a relevant comment. Leaving a relevant comment will also boost your chances of getting another follower.

Growing your audience on Vine does not have to be impossible. Most of the people on Vine with over 1 million followers are teenagers. Anyone has the ability to thrive on Vine if they know how. Implementing these methods will allow you to build a big audience on Vine fast.

Vine is a social network on the rise with over 40 million users. Vine will continue growing, but in order to take advantage of Vine’s growth, your content needs to spread. Some people have gone viral on Vine while others struggle to get one person to revine their Vine. Getting more revines is super important towards you going viral on Vine and gaining hundreds of followers every day. In order to get more revines on Vine, follow these 8 tips:

Get more followers on Vine. In order to get more revines, people need to know about you. By building your following, you will build an audience of people who will be more likely to revine your videos. I wrote an entire blog post that goes more into detail about how you can get more followers on Vine.
Post content that people would want to revine. Your followers are not going to revine a six second video of a torn up couch. Ask yourself if your friends would revine what you are putting up. If they wouldn’t revine what you posted on Vine, then few people will.
Revine other people’s videos. In order to get more revines for your videos, you need to revine other people’s videos. Some of these people will revine you back while other people will revine you so they get a revine back.
Have a giveaway. If you give away a $25 Amazon Gift Card to one person who revines your video, then most of your followers will come by and revine your video. Who here doesn’t want a $25 Amazon Gift Card?
Use your other social networks to promote your videos on Vine. If you already established a strong presence on one of your social networks, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Use your strong following on one of your social networks to get some awareness for another social network.
Get some of your friends on Vine. If you are in each other’s videos, then if one friend goes viral, then you all go viral. In addition, you will be able to revine each other and then get more revines from your followers.
Vine every day. If you post one video to Vine every day, your revine rate will go up. Better yet, try posting two videos on Vine every day. It only takes six seconds to create a video (unless you are doing stunts and need retakes).
Don’t give in. You may not a substantial difference in the amount of revines you get within a few days or weeks. However, you will eventually see a big difference in the number of revines you get. By not giving in, you will be able to see the big change happen.

Those are 8 ways to get more revines on Vine. What are your thoughts on the list? Do you have any additional methods you use to get more revines? Please share your thoughts and advice below.

How To Become Vine Famous

I took off from Vine for some time because I did not see the engagement I wanted to see from putting in my hard work. Then, I figured out how to get more engagement on Vine. Now, I am gaining over 600 followers every day on Vine and know exactly how to become the next Vine sensation. In fact, I could end up with 100,000 followers before 2015.

The formula to getting more followers and engagement for your vines is a simple process to follow because there are only two parts. The first part is posting on Vine every day. The most famous people on Vine post at least once every day while some post more than 5 times on other days. That does put imagination and creativity to the test when you have to think of an idea for a Vine every single day. However, the process becomes easier as you start creating vines.

The second part is following other people. Vine’s following rules are not nearly as strong as Twitter’s following rules. I follow much more people than I actually have following me. I also do this on Pinterest. If you want to get the best results from following people on Vine, go to Vine’s search. Then enter in “ifollowback.” On other social networks Team Follow Back has been criticized because you don’t get a target audience. However, doing this on Vine will result in people who are eager to share anything that is cool, shocking, or hilarious. That’s where your vines fit in.

Ever since applying these methods, my Vines went from having 2 likes to having well over 10 likes. In addition, the people who like one of your Vines are also likely to like your other vines as well. If you have 50 people who like one of your vines, chances are your other vines are not far behind. They probably have 20-40 likes as well. That’s why the famous viners have thousands of likes per vine. If a follower likes one of their vines, that follower tends to like more of that person’s vines. The people who are getting over 100,000 likes for their vines also happen to have 1 million followers.

More real followers equates to more likes. I have been using this formula to get over 300 followers on Vine every day. I may even get over 100,000 followers on Vine before 2015 and become the next famous viner. The best part is that being famous on Vine trickles into your other social networks. Famous viners are also gaining over 5,000 followers on Twitter every day while others gain more than that.

Becoming a Vine sensation is not as impossible as it seems. It requires consistent work, but it does not require difficult work.
