5 Mistakes Every SocialMedia Marketers Makes




There are many mistakes you can make but i noticed some common mistakes that every amateurs make and should be avoided. I know, most of your mistakes you do with good intentions, trying to grow your audience and become popular like others. but in order to achieve the results, you should not make the following common mistakes.

Trying Everything at one time.


I notice many times this in people, who wish to be a social media marketer and new to social media. Let me point out that every social media platform works differently, So your strategy of marketing on each social media platform should be different.

Amateurs mostly join every social media platform and start being active on every network they can find and copy content format from others to gain audience and drive traffic to their websites but it’s wrong and you’ll end up no where even after months of trying.


Expecting Growth in short time.


Mostly when people sign up to a social network, they want to increase their followers/fans list in short time and make mistake like posting too often or sharing their content only etc.

But let me tell you, it will get you less attention. For example if you’re sharing the same content 10 times a day on twitter, people will eventually get annoyed and will ignore your tweets later on. Even your followers might end up unfollowing you.

You need to understand that growing your audience/followers require times. It does not happen overnight. So better not to share same content multiple times a day.

Also, if you wish to have millions of followers then sharing only about 1 topic will get you followers but not all of them. So i advice that share about my multiple topics on your social network to gain more followers.


Not Using The Hashtags.


Hashtags plays major role in marketing these days. If you don’t know anything about hashtags, i am going to explain basics very quickly.

So to the point, importance of using hashtags is they give more exposure to your posts. You might have noticed them on instagram and twitter mostly. People use it to give more exposure to their posts. With the help of hashtags, your posts becomes visible outside of your followers. The people who are following the exact hashtag will able to see your posts.

This can help you gain more exposure to your posts and more followers who have similar interests as you. One thing you should keep in mind that you should use relevant hashtags to your posts.

If you’re posting some tips about marketing but using completely off topic hashtags than you might end up with very less traffic or no traffic at all. Learn more about how to use hashtags on twitter here.


Not following Back !


I know you don’t have to follow back every person that follows you but if you don’t follow back people who follows you, some of them will stop following you. You may see the fluctuations in your followers list, that is because of you don’t follow back your followers. So it is suggested to do so especially at beginning.


False believing that your posts are seen by all fans.


This is another mistake that disappoints people. Let’s say you have grown your followers about 1000. So next time you share your content, you expect to have minimum 700-800 clicks on the link but you are wrong. When you share a new post, it will be only seen by around 80-100 people that means around 9-10% approximately. So if you expect to have more than 500 clicks than you must have 10 times more audience first.

8 Twitter Mistakes You Should Avoid



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.
