After winning the 100 meters race in London Olympics, Usain Bolt’s Twitter followers have spiked like never before.

In a few hours, the world’s fastest man has gained over 100 000 followers and he is about to hit 1 million Twitter followers within a few hours. He is a frequent Twitter user, posting over 1200 updates so far. Early this morning, he used Instagram to show a photo of him with 3 Swedish Olympians which came over to congratulate him at 2am in the morning.

What is in Usain Bolt’s Twitter profile

Mr Bolt uses a short and cocky introduction: “The most naturally gifted athlete the world has ever seen”. Well, can you blame him? Both setting new Olympic record on 100 meters and doing it in two Olympics in a row.

How to get many Twitter followers quickly?

It certainly helps to do something spectacular, say being the fastest man in the world. Posting interesting twitter updates, many instagram photos and being nice and helpful on Twitter also helps. Verified Twitter members get more followers. Unfortunately, this only works if you’re already a celebrity. Finally, you can try to get on popular lists of twitter stars or offer special deals to your followers.
