HOW TO GROW YOUR TWITTER FOLLOWING IN 4 EASY STEPS

HOW TO GROW YOUR TWITTER FOLLOWING IN 4 EASY STEPS

HOW TO GROW YOUR TWITTER FOLLOWING A Simple 4 Step Guide By Kristen Kivo (#TheKivoEffect)   @KristenKivo    It took me a while to be conceived to open a twitter account but because I wanted to share and spread the love through my music, twitter was a fantastic opportunity to do so. I was familiar with Facebook so I understood how to connect with people and there are some similarities between both social media avenues. At this point I have only been on twitter for one month and a half and have over 7,000 followers and am on track to reach 10,000 before the two-month mark ends. I want to share what I have learned that has helped me grow rapidly.   (1) TIMING   Timing of tweets will have something to do with the reach of your audience. We can’t all be on twitter 24/7 so there are times of the days when there are more people on than others depending on where most of your followers are from. Mornings are a fantastic time to make a few posts. The truth is most of us check our phones in the morning before even getting out of bed. This makes a wonderful opportunity to engage first thing in the morning with all the other “in bed users”. Other times that work include lunch breaks, after school and work times, evenings and make sure you make a post just before you go to bed because depending on where your followers are, bed time for you in morning somewhere else. I often gain 50-100 followers while I sleep. It’s not enough...
THE JOURNEY SO FAR

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

THE JOURNEY SO FAR  An interview With Jane Jackson   Recently I was featured on Jane Jackson’s “AMAZING PODCAST” and it really gave me a great chance to reflect on the career changes that I have made over the years. I also got a chance to really appreciate those changes that were thrust upon me along the way.      I have also spent some time this week segmenting the interview into smaller themes and getting them transcribed to make it easier to listen to as your time allows. If you prefer you can follow along by reading the questions and answers.       WHERE IT ALL BEGAN (2REM FM)   Podcasting really is my thing and the whole idea came about out of my love of radio. Here’s me doing my very first radio show in March 1982 at 2REM FM in Albury. I still have a recording of that first show (on cassette - lol)     Jane Jackson: Welcome to my careers podcast, where I interview fascinating professionals who have made amazing career changes. Now, I am very fortunate to have, on the show, a twitter guru. This twitter guru is Keith Keller, who is now well known internationally as the Global Twitter Marketing Specialist. He is a popular speaker on the subject too. He’s appeared on numerous radio shows, teleseminars and webinars across the United States and Canada, UK and Europe as well as Australasia. His regular tweets, @KeithKeller, are testament to his passion for sharing the latest information about Twitter, as well as other social media platforms. He certainly has an ever growing list...
TOP TOOLS & TIPS FOR TWITTER

TOP TOOLS & TIPS FOR TWITTER

TOP TOOLS & TIPS FOR TWITTER A Guide For Newbies By Kate Hartley     Top Twitter Tips & Tools For Beginners (Fantastic Decoder Video)   I’m a newbie to Twitter.  Recently I’ve been building out the digital side of my business and I realized that I would need to harness social media in order to help to build trust around my products and the type of therapies I offer. I already had a Facebook page, so to create my Facebook fan page was a fairly simple process, but I had no idea about how to navigate Twitter nor about Twitter etiquette. The last thing I wanted to do was to create buzz about doing the wrong things at the wrong times. Why you need to listen to the Keith’s podcast!! “Crack the Twitter Code”      Around 9,000 tweets are tweeted every second.  That means 540,000 per minute and 780 million tweets per day!  Statista.com states that in the first quarter of 2016, Twitter has over 310 million active Twitter users.   These figures are huge and mean two things:   (1) That I need to know how to use Twitter effectively to make the most of belonging to a massive social media platform and (2) That among all these tweets, how was I going to get my tweets seen and even better, lead to links to my website and blog, likes and retweets?   The Crack the Twitter Code podcast has taught me everything I need to know about using Twitter effectively from setting up a strong bio to using tools to analyze and enhance my and...
5 WAYS TO GROW YOUR FOLLOWING

5 WAYS TO GROW YOUR FOLLOWING

5 WAYS TO GROW YOUR FOLLOWING A guest blog by the team at Virtual Professionnelle (Part 1 - Instagram)      (1) #Hashtags   We all know that using Trending Hashtags will increase your exposure in the Instagram world. But then again makes sure that you do not over use it –  because chances are, other people might think that you are a bot or a spammer specially when you begin to flood their timeline. In using #hashtags always make sure that you use specific hashtags based on what your target audience or market. You can instantly gain visibility and reach if the the hashtags that you use are one of those trending topics that people are actively and currently talk about. You can create your own #hashtag but don’t make it too lengthy.  The limit for Hashtags on Instagram is 30 per post but please don’t do that many, excessive hashtags are a definite no-no  Let common sense prevail here!!  This video by Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake clearly demonstrates just how silly some people can be with hashtags “#Hashtag” with Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake   (2) Awesome Photos and/or Videos   Instagram is made for posting photos isn’t it. For any individual account as well as for small or large businesses make sure that you post  photos or videos that are appealing, unique, trendy and relatable. Our followers sometimes do follow us because of the photos, quotes, and videos that we create so we make sure that we keep our followers updated with interesting posts based on their liking.   (3)  Follow - Like - Comment...

HASHTAGS (#) The Magical Ingredient

HASHTAGS (#) The Magical Ingredient On Twitter When celebrities such as Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon start talking about something, you know it’s big. The duo made a very cool video about Twitter hashtags that was so successful they decided to make a sequel. So when it comes to Twitter marketing tactics, hashtags really are that magic ingredient that makes Twitter what it is. It’s that element that has the power to change everything for you. In a nutshell, hashtags make words live and breathe in “THE TWITTERVERSE”  There are 3 main ways you can use hashtags and I explain them in great detail in the podcast above:   (1) POWER WORDS   (2) CREATE YOUR OWN HASHTAG   (3) TRENDING TOPICS   In a world where there are “9,000 Tweets Every Second” on Twitter now and hashtags are a fantastic marketing tool to help you “STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD”  Use it as a tool to get people to find you and from there, to follow you. They allow you to share your information with the people who really want to hear it. While Twitter has an in-built tool that’ll tell you what’s trending at any point in time, have a look at this nifty website if you’re after more detailed information:   www.HASHTAGS.org    You’ll be able to see what’s trending, what’s popular and look at graphs that can help you to decide what words/terms to hashtag. In my tweets, hashtags are the secret sauce, the joiner, the glue that makes Twitter stand out from its competitors. They’re a great way to spruik your next workshop, event, a new book release book and...
