How to be famous on twitter
RSS Feed
Becoming famous or becoming popular on Twitter is just not about having a large number of followers, but it is also about building a huge network with people, communicating with them, having conversations, and sharing knowledge. Let me share with you few points which i feel are most important to be famous or popular on Twitter.
Your Profile
Start off with having an outstanding profile image, a close up will work more. And remember not to change it so often. This I have learnt from (@Flipbooks).
After having a good display pic, there comes your bio. Bio is short description about you. It should be attractive and precise enough that your follower will have a good idea about your interests and passion. Writing something which you are not or may be to show off will not work for a longer period.
Sharing
I think twitter is all about sharing. The 140 characters we share as a tweet can be anything, it can be a link share by your favorite blogger, it can be an awesome quote you want to share with your followers, it can be an image, it can be a product, and it can be anything.
It’s recommended that you share by mentioning the source. This will help you in building your repo. If you share tweets of people on a regular practice, they will notice you and will return your favour by doing the same.
Be Thankful publicly
Say Thanks & Say it often. Saying thanks to the one who shared your links, tweets, quotes, blog posts, products, services, anything will make your reputation. This is not gonna take much of your time. Returning their favour by a simple thank you is the best you can do apart from doing the same. My personal opinion about this is – it will be great if you thank somebody by tweets and mentions rather than by direct messages (DM).
You should be also thankful to people who support you, or maybe those who taught you something. Like I am thankful to @myliciouss @0nikhil @BarryckR @gupshupblog @Raj_R @mtaram @arraysaq @rocksstar10 @shilpiz @rajupp @arkarthick @MASisMore 2morrowknight and many more in the list who always support me and I like to converse with them.
Complain someone privately
Unlike Thanking somebody, making a complain to anybody should be done privately. Being a normal human being nobody likes to publicize what they have done wrong. So we should take care that when we want complain anything we do it through DMs not by normal tweets. This I have learnt from (@labnol)
Retweeting
Retweeting tweets is a powerful way to get popular, by retweeting you are attracting people to notice you in a very welcomed manner. To know more about power of retweeting click here.
Follow Others
Following others on twitter is the best way to build a great network. You can follow anyone there is no restriction for that on twitter. But remember one thing most of the people follow passively (the person you started following is not aware about it), and that is not the efficient way of doing it.
The best way to follow is shouting out that you are following them (like: #NowFollowing @adamsconsulting @paul_steele @iampramit @RainerGS), this will let them know that you are now following them and may be they can get back to your profile and hopefully they will follow you back.
Follow Trending Topics
Keeping a track and following the trending topics will also make you popular. Here you need to understand that, your tweets should make sense; you should tweet something interesting, funny, catchy, anything that you think will attract people of your interest.
Don’t just shout out anything because you just want to be in the trending topics, this will distract your existing followers.
Troubleshoot problems
Many a times you will see people asking few questions they have stuck up with. These questions may be of your interest or maybe not. If you know how to solve the issue don’t take a set back and share your knowledge, this will make you popular.
And if the question is not of your interest or you don’t know the solution, It will be great if you share that question among your followers.
