Chapter 1 "Game Plan"

There is no secret to growing on Twitter.
The truth it takes time, quality, and consistency. You need a strategy.

What are you using Twitter for?
Is it to make money?
Is it to grow your connections?
Is it to share your writing?

This is for the people whose goals are to make money. But do not worry, I will get to the other questions.

Here is your strategy:

2. Tweet about an area you are experienced with (build authority, show authenticity)
3. Reply to larger accounts (
@CureIncome
recommends 30-50 daily replies, that is too much for me so I aim for around 10, try and balance spam with quality)

Chapter 4 "Using Twitter to Share Your Writing"

If you just tweet out to a blog post, no one will click it. You have to learn how to entice them, make them want to join.

Here is how to increase website engagement https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">

Chapter 4 Continued

1. Provide an excerpt from your article. Screenshot the intro, make the audio recording of a great quote. Give the readers a taste to hook them in. Here is a graphic I made for my latest article.

2. Learned this from @amlewis4, Tweet before you release an article rather than after.

Increases peoples interest and primes them to read your article (Some psychology here from @FreedomPathGo)

3. Give social proof, RT people& #39;s comments about how great your article is.
13/

4. Email your best articles to your email campaign ( @emails_oracle specializes at helping your perfect your emails)

Make sure not to spam your audience members, only send them around an article a week, separate from weekly emails!
