6 Tips to Get More Twitter Followers

I started this blog in October and since then I have gained 50+ followers every month. At first, I didn’t know what I was doing. I had a twitter account but I didn’t use it to promote anything, it was just to see what other people were tweeting about.

I had a plan of attack when I started the twitter, and I'm going to tell you how I managed to get my followers.

*As a disclaimer, I don’t have thousands of twitter followers. But with the numbers I’m getting, I’m heading in that direction*

Tweet at least three times a day

Tweeting at least three times a day helped me get into using my twitter more. This also shows people that you use your twitter and it’s an account that they should be following. What I did when I started is I would do a personal tweet, a blog related tweet (personal finance), and I would reply to someone who tweeted something.

Be SOCIAL on Social Media

It is VERY important to interact with people you follow and that follow you. If you
are constantly just tweeting things and not responding to people or interact with people you follow your account looks like a bot account, and no one likes those. When you interact with people, the tweet also shows up on their feed to the people that follow them, which gives your twitter page views. So be SOCIAL on social media!

Don’t just tweet your blog link

This one is very important. You don’t want to be one of those accounts that just post your blog all the time. No one likes those, and no one clicks on those links (most of the time). Also, if you’re going to post your blog link, make sure to put what the blogs about before the link. People are more likely to click on a link that they know what it’s about then clicking a random link.

Like other people's posts with the hashtag you used.

I’m not entirely sure if this works, but it’s something I do. I figure I’m liking someone's post that is relevant to what they posted about minutes from them posting it. So maybe they’ll look at my blog post about that subject. 

Follow at least 5-10 people a day

Following 5-10 people a day builds your twitter feed and helps you get followers. For every 5-10 people you follow odds are 2-3 people will follow you back. I’ve gotten to the point where people follow my twitter without me following anyone some days.

A good bio is crucial

When people are following your blog, the first thing they look at is your bio. You want something catchy and something that describes what you tweet about. For example, mine is:
 
It shows what I tweet about and some hashtags I use. I also use the hashtags in the sentence so they aren’t just floating in the description. 

I hope these tips help you out with your twitter adventure! Tweet me @DitchinDebt and let me know if this was helpful!

Unemployment: The struggle is real

After five years at the same company, I was laid off. It came as a real shock, but I was getting the feeling something bad was going to happen. I was asked to come to a meeting room and two people from HR were there with a folder. They gave me information about cobra and asked if I had any questions. Obviously, I was still in shock so I said no. They asked for my badge and told me I had to leave and couldn't go back to my desk, which was filled with pop toys, my 8-month-old basil plant, and pictures of my daughter. Just like that, I didn't have a job or income. That happened on the 19th of February. A week has gone by and I'm getting into a rhythm of breakfast, games, applying for jobs, lunch, cleaning the house, repeat. But I'm really missing going to work. There's a saying, "you don't appreciate something until it's gone." and I feel that.  Being laid off also threw a huge wrench in my "get out of debt" plan. The plan is being ...

Weekly report: Monetizing my blog + Social Media #5

This week we focused on staying on budget. I also applied and was accepted to an affiliate program which I'm very excited about! I'm looking up a lot of information on affiliate marketing and best practices. Some of the info I've learned is how to market the products on Pinterest. I plan on doing most of the affiliate marketing on there, and maybe sprinkle some cool products on twitter and the blog. Right now I am using ShareASale to find affiliate links to try and make money. My strategy is to find programs that will help people get out of debt. So far I am doing affiliate stuff for a Cashback website called DollarDig ( https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=569535&u=2292638&m=51865&urllink=&afftrack=  ) and a discount jewelry store called Balla.  (https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=785753&u=2292638&m=52317&urllink=&afftrack= ) For those of you interested, the way I can make money with these company's is if you click on the links and register ...

Weekly Report: Vacation plans while paying off debt #4

This week was crazy for us. We are officially refinanced (which took what feels like an eternity) and this is our first week paying more for a whole week of daycare because my father, who normally watches my daughter on Thursdays, had surgery and is out of commission for a month or so. We are a bit worried about money this week because we've been paying so much debt the past three weeks. I think we went a little too hard but we'll be ok! So this week we didn't pay anything off, but we did start our taxes! We're expecting a lot for our tax return which we're hoping will make a nice dent towards our last credit card and our Disney trip we have planned. I know you're not supposed to go on vacation while doing this whole get out of debt journey but let's be real. As much as I love listening to Dave Ramsey every morning, he would say not to go on vacation until all my debt is paid off. But, I'm not a super hardcore Ramsinite who follows EVERYTHING he ...
