Most effective way in growing social followers?

Thousands of people online are obsess of finding ways how to grow their social followers, in connection to this, can you guys offer them an effective way to obtain their target. Thanks

 

Here's a few ideas that come to mind:

Posting about an interesting subject(s) is usually the first step. Be aware of how you present yourself to other people. Be honest, outgoing, courteous and engage with others. Find people with similar interests and interact with them.

 

Trust and Engagement are two things that customers look while spending their time online. Hence posting interesting topics, engaging them in conversations, asking their views, being honest instead of being boring and having a mutual respect goes a long way in developing a long term relationship with people.

Also keeping a tab on hottest and trending topics, sharing your views etc is another tactic for your fan base to grow..
