How do you use it?
Want to know a few secret tips to Grow you Twitter following?
I've been on Twitter since 2009 but I've never used it to build relationships or as a true extention of my brand until recently.
Now that I'm on a mission to do both. During the last two weeks of July 2017, I set out to grow my Twitter followers by
10 people each day, talk to previous followers, retweet at least twice daily and respond with one video. Trust me, I do
understand that it may seem like a lot to do but if you're serious about being "present," on any social network, you've
got to put in the work!
To this date, August 2, 2017, I've grown my following by 100 and have built a strong relationship with three of the
people who have been following me for a while. So strong, that I would refer them. If you know me, you'd know that's
a BIG DEAL
OK, so without digressing, I'm going to give you a few tips. Once you begin implementing them, please let me know how
you're doing with the process. I love great success stories!

- Pin a Tweet.
- Learn to use advanced search.
- Direct message a thank you video
Why Pin a Tweet? When you pin a tweet, with a photo or video, people get to know who you are and why you love what
you do. Try to pin a tweet about an upcoming promo or tutorial. Those have worked best for me.
I can't go on and on about Twitters advanced search feature but to keep this blog post brief, I'm just going to say that it
will help you eliminate a lot of "noise" when searching for new followers.
Whenever I've received a direct message in Twitter, before even opening it, I know that it's either a "hey, buy my new,
shiny thing!," or a Thanks for following, so I eventually get around to opening them but every once in a while, I get a video
response from someone and I immediately respond. When I send a video thank you, my response rate for follow back is
around 40% higher than just a text message.
These are just a few of the things I've learned thus far.
Now, it's your turn to try a tip. Once you've done it for 2 weeks, direct message me on Twitter @GreatPromos and tell
me how great is going!
