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...

LIVING LIFE IN THE MOMENTS A Guest Blog Post By Pankaj Narang Finally, Twitter has announced a way to share quick and interactive content on its platform with its latest update. With the rapid growth of Snapchat and Instagram, Twitter is gradually losing its title of being the “fastest social media platform”. According to the latest survey conducted by Piper Jaffray, Snapchat has become the most essential app used by teens (28%), closely followed by Instagram (27%). Twitter was at the third place with 18% of the total market share. Needless to say, with the growing popularity of Snapchat and Instagram stories, Twitter was expected to come with something new and exciting for its users. Now, you can do so much more with this remarkable medium rather than just getting to know about the trending topics nearby. With the introduction of Twitter Moments, one can narrate a story of their own using different types of content (similar to a slideshow-representation). For everyone who wants to make a Moment – starting today you can! Creators everywhere can now tell stories with Tweets. pic.twitter.com/ZJtNBoTPWf — Twitter (@Twitter) September 28, 2016 For everyone who wants to make a Moment – starting today you can!

MY TOP TWELVE TWITTER TIPS Recently I had the honour of being featured as a “TOP 10 TWITTER INFLUENCER” So I thought I would take this opportunity to expand on the ideas presented in the original article from Report Garden. “GROWTH LESSONS FROM THE TOP 10 TWITTER INFLUENCERS” So Honoured To Be Featured Here!! via @ReportGarden https://t.co/MBaL5GzfgY … pic.twitter.com/eBUC3DDK8U — Keith Keller (@KeithKeller) April 4, 2017 (1) Use Twitter to drive people to your website or blog This is probably the number one benefit of Twitter actually. It is extraordinary for driving organic traffic to your website or blog posts. It can also be used to promote your You Tube videos or your podcast series. It’s an amazing resource so it’s well worth taking the time to learn it’s secrets. (2) The “Twitter3030” Method This is one of my favourite techniques for gaining targeted followers on Twitter and developing quality relationships. Follow 30 People Per Day For 30 Days Rinse & Repeat Follow people that you find inspiring and most importantly follow their followers. Chances are if you find them inspiring, and you’re tweeting similar things, they will follow you too. I’ve had robust success with this strategy, so try this one for yourself and let me know how you go. (3) Follow People First This one really picks up where the last idea left off. Following first is a terrific way to take the initiative and really helps you to find great people to connect with. Many of them will follow you back and you...

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN STUNNING INSTAGRAM STORIES An Essential Guide By Craig Annand 10 billion everyday, that’s how many people view video content on Snapchat. So it makes sense that Instagram followed to create Instagram Stories – short videos that disappear after 24 hours, with a potential audience of 500 million users. That’s some big numbers, right? We agree. Storytelling is a key feature to making social media work for brands and features like Instagram Stories ensure marketers like us, create better and deeper stories for people to engage with brands. What Are Instagram Stories? It’s the latest update to the Instagram app that shows short video or imagery that delete after 24 hours. When you visit another Instagram account that has a current story, you will notice a coloured circle around the users profile image. Click on the profile image and you will see that users Instagram Story. In this post we will share how to use Instagram Stories to engage customers and how to create a story that will entice customers to fall in love with your brand. Enhance your main Instagram content with bonus information. This is one of my favourite ways of using Instagram Stories: telling a deep story behind each and every Instagram post. One of the key differences between Instagram and Snapchat is that Instagram provides a public, viewable profile for your main content. On no other social network can you get this type of supplemental information about the posts themselves. NASA’s use of Stories is quite the native strategy. Recently, NASA posted about the annual Perseid meteor shower...

GETTING STARTED ON TWITTER A while back now, I developed a series of podcasts with Annemarie Cross all based around “CRACKING” the Twitter code. Part 1 is all about this idea: Do you need to promote yourself and your products? Well Twitter may just be your missing link in your current marketing mix. First up, there are so many social media and blogging platforms out there. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google+… who can keep count? Whether you choose to use Twitter or not is completely up to you but please don’t just discount this fantastic platform because ‘you don’t get it.’ What I’ve learnt through the people I’ve mentored though, is that once they start to understand the ins and outs and how Twitter can really benefit them, they see it as a real asset to their business. Ever had a light bulb moment where things just make sense? I’ve witnessed thousands of them when it comes to my clients and Twitter. So, you might be asking: why should I bother with Twitter? “Twitter Is The Buzz Builder” It’s not Facebook, Google+ or any other platform: people check Twitter for news. In many instances, you’ll see news breaking on Twitter before the news… we’re talking from anywhere between a 10 second to 30 time frame. Of course, this means you need to tailor your messages accordingly. I’ve heard many people adopt a ‘one-stop shop’ strategy to all of their social media platforms. In my experience, this doesn’t work. Twitter is not Facebook… people aren’t interested in seeing you eat an ice cream on the beach or your endless...
