Marketing Advicers

You dream of having a thousands of followers. Who wouldn't want that right ?
in order to gain more traffic to your blog and gain more followers, you spend whole day constantly tweeting and sharing blog posts.

But it hardly gets you new followers. That obviously means you're doing something wrong and need to stop immediately.

Here i m going to point out some common mistakes people make when they are trying to gain more followers.


Do not Tweet The Same Thing More Than Twice a Day.

Now, I feel it is OK to tweet same article or blogpost ten times a day. You do this because, People reading it in the morning are not the same people reading it in evening, This is true but there is a little problem,

You see when you post same article or link manytimes a day, You're not taking the heavy twitter addicts into your account. And trust me there are enough people on twitter who will see all those tweets and get annoyed fast.

And if you MUST tweet same link more than twice, i suggest you at least change the lead on your sentence.

Don't Promote ONLY Your Blog in Your Tweets.

Okay so the main word here is "Only". from my opinion, there is nothing wrong with sharing your blog posts to your followers. these people only followed you because apparently they are interested in your thoughts or they find something useful from you.

But, Let me give you an example if you come across someone's twitter timeline and all his tweets start with "New Blog Post", would you still want to follow that person and want him/her in your twitter feed ? Chances are pretty low unless you really like the person or some other reason may be.

Don't follow people Randomly !

The reason i m telling you to avoid this because if you just follow random people on the twitter, You will end up with uncontrollable amount of people in your feed and this will eventually destroy your ability to use twitter effectively.

So i rather suggest that focus on following people in your niche. If you're a blogger, Find/Follow some well known bloggers who share quality tweets that interests you. It won't just make any sense if you follow people who have no idea about blogging right ?

Do not Auto DM People Who Follows You.

This has to be the biggest Annoying thing in the Twittersphere.

If a person follows you, They did not do it for you. They did it for themselves. So no need to thank them.

Don't DM saying " Nice to meet you" or "Thanks for following/Connecting". It's really annoying and most people don't like it now. because most of people do this to market their blog or product or business. Trying to market your blog/business by linking it with auto DM will hardly get you business or traffic to your blog but surely your brand/blog will loose reputation.

Avoid Being a Spammer.

If you're on twitter whole day tweeting random stuff or promoting your blog constantly then here is what will happen if you tweet too many times.

1. You will annoy your followers and lose them.

2. You will loose traffic to your blog.

3. Your tweets will start to loose power and people will start to ignore them.

4. You will get much less RTs on your Tweets.


Not leaving Space For Retweet.

Okay so just because you have 140 characters doesn't mean you should use it all. Experts say that it's good idea to keep your tweets about 120 characters leaving 20 characters space for your followers to comment on it.

Leaving space for comments are likely to get you more engagement and retweets to your posts.

Do Not Copy Whole Link.

This is one of the common mistakes twitter newbie does. Copying the whole link to your post will take most of space and you won't have enough left to say something about it. Now If you see a tweet with just a link. No-one will click it. because they will think of it as a spamming.

But adding something ahead of the link that people find useful will surely get much more clicks.

And There are some great tools like bit.ly or ow.ly to shorten your links and they are real space savers.

Twitter Isn't Facebook.

This is another mistake twitter newbie does. If you're in for business or wish to have huge followers.
don't share posts like "What you ate for lunch" or "What movie you saw", This Isn't Facebook God Damn it !

People on twitter are drawn to the quality and useful content. And if you wish to have gain huge followers do not make this mistake.

Do this question ever crossed your mind that "Why do professional writter's posts get hundreds of clicks" ?

Because they are well-known ?
No..

Because they never miss one most powerful user attraction-An engaging Headline.

Yes, it's true.

I know you work really hard on your writing, You used all the writing advice that is available out there to craft your post. You have come up with great ideas that readers will find useful and you spent hours on writing that delivers and reads beautifully.

Let me state a fact for you first, Every user is faced with dozens of choices on its feed and Usually he/she makes choice by just reading its Headline only.

You wrote a great post that will help many users but firstly you will need come up with a excellent headline for it.

Remember, your headline is what that is going to sell your content so you need to make sure that you craft a excellent headline too.

Here, I m gonna share some elements to craft an excellent headline to sell your content and making people want to click on your link.

1. Surprise

Surprises in the headlines works because human brains like novelty, Thus surprises prove to be more simulating and grab others attention quickly

Example : Twitter goes public! 21 things you need to know.

Now whoever is twitter addict or spends so much time on twitter will obviously want to know how and when twitter went public.


2. Curiosity

There's a psychological phenomenon called curiosity gap. which is the gap between something a person knows and wants to know.

People usually start to feel deprivation when they notice a gap in their knowledge. Once a person knows little, they will want to find out more and fill in the missing information.

With this in mind write something enough in headlines that will sparkle their curiosity but not so much that you give your story away.

Example : Every writer regret not doing this sooner.

Now, Every person out there want to be writer will want to know the things are what that they must know. and so far it sold my content very efficiently. didn't it ?


3. Negatives

Everyone knows that superlatives like "best", "biggest", "great" are effective in the headlines but sometimes negative superlatives are even more powerful.

Negatives are powerful for tapping into people's insecurities. Using words like "Stop", "Destroys", "Avoid" etc often work because everyone wants to know if there's anything they need to stop ?

Example : 10 Mistakes Every Writer Needs to Avoid !


As you read the example, it is a strong headline. Makes people curious what to avoid to be a great writer whoever fears is obviously going to click on my link and that is how you need to sell your content too.


4. How to


Many writers says if your headlines starts with "How to" it's very good. This is thanks to everyone who wish to be smarter and learn something new.

If you are targeting audience that is trying to learn something then How to will be a great headline to start.

Example : How to Write Powerful Posts.

By reading above headline, I m sure whoever trying to perfect their writing skills and perfect posts want to click on the link and read the content in depth. Well that's what i was going for. And so far this headline is going to sell my content very easily because i know my audience are to trying to learn about writing great posts.
