Everyone is on Twitter! Nigerians are
leaving Facebook for Twitter but Facebook still has its own unique users. I am
one of those unique users. I have a very engaging verified page.I also have a verified Twitter page but the
competition is still fierce.
Today many young people should get productive with
their Twitter accounts and not just waste 10 hours daily tweeting for fun.
Below are 5 vital things to do to get your account moving this year. Clean your account, build a brand and get verified making you more money on your Twitter ads:
1. Go through your favourites now called “Likes” and delete any unnecessary tweets you liked. You can also save them as screenshots and open a folder on your device named screenshots. Keep your account as light as possible. I have 12,000 likes decreased now to 7000 likes and currently doing my screenshots now.
2. Begin monetizing your Twitter account. I taught this course online and was featured in a national daily on how to make money from your account. Get clients who want their businesses tweeted to your followers. You may want to have two accounts, one personal, one for business. You could be making from $30-$50 per tweet in the beginning. In Nigerian money, that should be a good earning.
3. Get in the habit of running an unduplicated Twitter album. Some people just come to your account for the albums. Never tweet a photo more than twice. It becomes redundant. I realize that the need may arise for business tweets to show an image twice, get creative and ask the client for different images.
4. Twitter now shows you impressions of how many people viewed your tweets including the engagement figures on who retweeted or liked. View it daily to gauge who is following your work and what tweets they are looking at.
5. Fill in your Twitter bio, birthday (which is so neat when Twitter releases balloons on your profile all day) and make your bio short and attractive. Verify your phone number, it's private. Adjust your settings if avoiding notifications. Begin to sell yourself! Those of you in Nigeria using your business accounts to attack others should stop that habit immediately. No clients will use you to advertise their products. Check mine @hnnafrica. I don't even respond to negative tweets anymore.
With these 5 tips, you can be guaranteed of putting your Twitter account in the spotlight and next thing you are well sought to be verified.
