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!

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 ...

Saving towards $1,000 in 2 months!

When we started the long journey to saving up $1,000 we were already about $250 shy of reaching $1,000. I like to think that most people have a good sense of saving at least SOMETHING in their savings. Even though we only had $250 to go until we met the amount, we couldn’t just drop that much from our checking to our savings because of our budget. We spend about $4000 a month on our debt, including our mortgage and we bring in about $4,200 (we found that out by doing our budget, we were very sad https://pixabay.com/photos/coins-currency-investment-insurance-1523383/ to see how close we were to not being able to afford anything) There was only one thing I could think of doing in order to get ourselves out of debt, and that was to do Overtime. If you are trying to get out of debt, overtime is your best friend. I’ve been working overtime an hour extra every weekday for the past few weeks and my check has increased a couple hundred dollars. The way my work does over time...

Understanding debt snowball and avalanche methods

If you have heard about Dave Ramsey you’ve heard him talk and praise about the debt snowball. The debt snowball is when you pay off debt from lowest monthly payment to highest and disregard the interest. There is another known way of paying off debt called the avalanche method. That is when you pay your highest interest rate debt and disregard monthly payment. But which one is more time efficient? Let’s find out! The following are random amounts and interest rates to give a good idea on the time it will take to pay off the most common kind of debt. The debt: Credit card: Amount: $8,000 monthly payment: $264 interest rate 15% Student loan Amount: $10,000 For 10 years Monthly amount: $88 Interest rate: 6% House loan Amount: $9,000 for 6 months Monthly amount: 125 Interest rate: 0% Car loan Amount: $15,000 for 5 years Monthly amount: $262 Interest rate: 5% Debt snowball method: If we were to do the debt snowball method, the order would be student loans, h...
