Good day all!

Week 6 is here!

​Last weekend I did a Twitter poll asking what people would like to learn about this week. As you can see below with 37% of the 76 votes went to Grow your audience.

Below is The Best Strategy  to Grow Your Followers on Twitter...

Step 1 - Always start with content

• Who is your target audience 
• What do they want to know/learn
• Have a mixture of tweets with images, blogs, vlogs and share others content that appeals to your target audience 

Step 2 - Find people who engage

• Crowdfire to "copy followers" of individual influencers or brands that have the same target audience as you have defined.
• Make sure after 2-3 days unfollow people who do not follow you back
• Use Twitter Advanced Search to search specific hashtags or keywords that relate to your target audience 
• Follow people that already retweet other's content

Step 3 - Track engagement 

• ​Twitter analytics - great free tool to research who your current audience is and what they are interested in
• Buffer analytics - see what types of posts are getting the most likes, retweets and click throughs
• Create content around other content that your audience is engaging with

Step 4 - Engage! Engage! Engage!

• Respond to everyone that engages with you
• Set aside certain times everyday to go through notifications
• ​Take the online engagement offline, when you find someone that you fins interesting or feel you can have a mutual beneficial relationship...set up a phone call

In conclusion, growing an audience/followers on Twitter or any platform takes patience and consistency. If you follow the above steps you will grow an engaged following. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out!
