7 Ways to Improve Your Twitter Connections

There has been a wrong idea circulating among people that "Twitter is not for Everyone" which is completely irrelevant to how Twitter is designed to work. I would say that Twitter is an amazing medium of cut short messages, instant news platform and if used properly, it could become a very well platform for marketing/ advertising your product or a brand per se. 

 Do you think that way too ? If yes, read through the below 7 points to see how you can leverage your twitter account to make good connections and advertising your brand.

Start Following Back :- 

Now who wouldn't like a million followers to their account . Wouldn't you ? This has to be the first and foremost work that needs to be set right to get your twitter account and your connections upto the mark, unless you are already a brand that has established its worth on twitter.

If someone's following you, that clearly means that they are showing their interest to see what you have in store and eventually expecting you to follow back too. Now you may tweet all the things that you are doing good and a lot of other things, but they'd like you to follow back as well. If you're not doing that, its most likely you will end up loosing that one follower from your account which is the same with all the followers over the course.

There are users who tend to "DM- Direct Message" you to follow them back and its normal and there are users who would expect you to do the favour of following them back without asking for it. It is for you to decide whether the follower you just gained is worth following back or not. There's another post that talks about interacting with your peer users on Twitter efficiently.

ShoutOut and Engage in Conversations :-

I think this is powerful if you'd want to stay on course with your followers to actually make them feel that you're worth having a conversation. #SO is one of the many twitter tags that users find commonly being used to make a shoutout to your peer follower/following users.

Use the hashtags wisely. Now you don't want to spam your follower with too many hashtags that makes the conversation irrelevant in most of the cases.

 Call out names and start engaging in conversations that will make them feel special and next time they will look forward to your tweets. Now this may not seem like a wise idea if you already have a million of followers to your account but still could be considered doing this once in a while to keep up the interaction factor going forward.

 Its time for you to decide what you should be doing now to make your twitter connections awesome and interactive.

Usage of GIFs :-

Let me tell you this, gif images works all the time. It's attractive and catches the eye on spot and people would want to retweet, start a conversation over your tweet.

 Just a random search for "gif" on twitter gives the below link where you can see for yourself the number of retweets and favorites and replies to the tweets with gif images. That proves it now, doesn't it ?

Ask for Opinions :-

Asking doesn't make you any less than the other person who doesn't, the fact that it only makes you a better person and makes you approachable. Ask for Opinions in the form of tweets. Fellow Twitter users would be happy to reply back to your tweets if that interests them.

Convey a message, or a help if needed, all you have to do is ask and that your twitter herd listens and you might not know, you will have your solution one tweet away.

 Coming to the point, asking for opinions, thoughts, helps improve your connection on twitter.

Use Polling Feature :- 

Polling Feature on Twitter is one of the ways to improve your twitter connections. There are a lot of scenarios where you wanted to choose an option from a group of options and you can actually ask it out on Twitter suggesting your connections to choose one for you.

 This will actually improve your perspective on seeing things in a different way and you can even start tweeting back to your twitter users with the feedback that will create a whole new conversation altogether.

Tweet Back :-

As far as Twitter connections is considered, its not one way. Meaning, you have to often tweet back to your other fellow followers, followings tweet and start engaging yourself in a conversation.

This will give you an option to be seen over a wide list of people, your followers/followings followers and improve your connections along the way.

Share Quotes :-

I have found this as one effective way to improve connections, infact it works all the time. Sharing Quotes as a tweet get more considered than a normal tweet like "What a crazy day! ".

The Retweets that you get and the views on your quotes will automatically improve your connections with quality followers overtime.

 Now that I've shared all the 7 ways that I myself use frequently, we have come to the end of this post.

 Let me know if I've missed out any of your favorite ways and also how is it working out for you in the comments.

5 Things to Know About Twitter Analytics

Are you running a business offline or online? It doesn't matter where you do and what you do, but it sure matters that you use any medium of influencing people to come to you, use your service in anyway possible. I've been writing my way through twitter ever since I've found its usability as a media to publicize yourself as a brand no matter what you do and where you're located in any part of the world.

Using twitter has made me realize there are people who take the slightest care of what you do and those are the like minded people that you'd want to follow and want to be followed back. Setting up a twitter account is not a heavy task and the part of being online (by online I mean the way you stay up tweeting frequently without giving up) is a hell of a job if you're running up a business motive on twitter. Unless you've a twitter account that tweets random thoughts that comes to your mind, tweets with media that you see day to day, you wouldn't be running out of tweets.

To use Twitter Analytics efficiently, you should know the least about it at some point of time.

Twitter has given us the option to check who actually are interacting with you and how are you doing last month compared to this month and how exactly are you growing on your followers rate/ following rate and everything that get accounted which is the Twitter Analytics Platform.

In this post, we're gonna list down the 5 thing that you should know about Twitter Analytics before you start using it.

Monthly Tweet Analysis : 

Tweet Analysis is what we're going to talk about. Brands or Businesses that are tweeting every now and then from their official account should be using this analytics to collect the data of how far their tweets have reached the world, how good is the engagement of tweets with the fellow twitterers.

Normally, you can see any particular tweet activity just by clicking on the "View Tweet Activity" in your tweet section. That will give you a clear analytics of how did that tweet go with the twitterverse.

You can now view weekly activity of your tweets on the right side of your twitter dashboard as well. But when you want to collect the data monthly so that you can account yourself with the growth that you've reached this month and can easily compare yourself to the previous month and do what you should do to be better next month.

That's a good one and they show you your top tweet for the month, top follower for the month, top mentions, top media tweet, top card tweet etc., all for the particular month that you prefer. Scroll down to your twitter analytics dashboard to see older months analytics data.

You're a social media marketer, that's great., you're just steps away to collect those data and make your excel sheet for the month.

Know Your Influencers : 

Twitter is letting you know who was engaging with you the last month most of the times and is showing you the details on what tweet the whole engagement was happening.

Get the data on what was your top tweet on twitter last month, who was your top mention, who was your top follower, what was your top media tweet, what was your top card tweet, all in one single page of Twitter Analytics.

Top Card Tweet for the Month

Top Follower for the Month

Top Mention for the Month

Top Tweet for the Month

You get to know who's your most interesting influencer on twitter in short, you get to know a like minded personality to your business.

Now that's a lot of valuable data for you and your company that runs its promotion on twitter.

Export the Twitter Data : 

The twitter analytics data that you see for a month or any relevant period of time can be exported to your local system in csv format.

You can select any particular number of days, years range which lies next to the export button on top of your tweet activity. Now that should be considered as a lot of data related to your twitter market.

Flavour of Audience:

Knowing your audience is the key to promote your business to the fastest level. Twitter Analytics provides you with the data of what audience base that you're followers are and where exactly you can improve to make sure a lot of people read your tweets and engage with it.

Audience Analytics will help you to improve the understanding of your followers base and tweet accordingly. The list shows the people who have engaged with the tweets that you've been tweeting since the given time period.

Conversion Tracking : 

Twitter provides you the conversion tracking facility just like Google Analytics where you're (the developer) supposed to put the code to your website and the tracking starts immediately once your code is verified.

The Conversion Tracking works in such a way based on the code that you're implementing to your website. You can track any particular page conversion event based on the conditions option when you're setting up the conversion tracking event.

You can add even multiple accounts to the same analytics dashboard. Click on the username on top right, and select the account that you want to use with the analytics dashboard.

Conclusion : 

The data that you get from twitter analytics can be a good option to analyze the growth of your business and make any changes needed to promote your brand on twitter.

Now, that's an important piece of data to your brand.

How To Find The Number Of Verified Followers On Twitter

Having a verified profile on Twitter is not a small achievement to have on your portfolio unless you're a famous celebrity in your line of work. Getting verified on Twitter is as much as not in our hands until Twitter decides to contact out for Verification.

If you've come to read about how to get verified on Twitter, I'd suggest you to read the linked blog post below.

Read this : How To Get Verified On Twitter

Let that be aside. You have a number of followers that you could even possibly count each and every one of them in hands. Have you ever wondered how many of the verified profiles that follows you ?

Have you ever asked yourself to check that once after you lost count of your followers which I'd say when you reach 100 followers you'd loose the name count of the people who followed you.

When I started using Twitter, I used to follow people and let them follow me back and we exchange tweets, retweets, and favorite each others tweets which are the most used functionalities on Twitter

I happen to count all the followers that followed me and welcome them with a Shout Out (SO) either automated or manually (Atleast when I started out).

While I use Twitter I happen to be followed by some of the verified profiles on Twitter which is pretty awesome actually and you'll feel good about it for no reason. I lost count of the number of verified profiles that follow me on my account later on which led me to find some pretty cool tools that I'm going to share in this blog post.

That was the reason I had to research on any tools that will help you to find the number of verified followers on your Twitter. And I found one.

Social Rank : 

Social Rank is a platform where you can organize, sort out your twitter followers in case you have way too many to do it manually on twitter.

You can even sort the followers and create a curated list of followers and use it for any purposes that you are planning to may be promotional tweeting, call it your choice.

Once you're logged in to social rank, you'll see the list of followers that follow you on twitter. You'll see a select option where you can select "Verified Followers" and there you go, it'll show you the list of verified profiles that follows you on twitter.

Here's a screen shot of my list of verified list of followers on twitter from Social Rank. 

Me on twitter- @vickythegme

Feel free to mention any other tools that helps you find the list of verified profiles that follow you on twitter. And don't forget to let me know how many verified profiles are following you on twitter in the comments.

LongerTwits - A Simple Web App To Tweet More Than 140 Characters

Checkout my app at http://longertwits.vickythegme.com

Yay!!
I released my first app online which is currently serving as a sub domain on my personal blog vickythegme. I happen to read about twitter api past these days and got pretty much interested to it that I wanted to build an app on my own.

The first idea that I got is to bring up an app that would let users follow and unfollow (a simple twitter management tool similar to JustUnfollow, Unfollowers.me etc.,).

 By the time I got into it and been working on the app, I got another idea why not create a simple app and releasing it and wait for the user response so that I could carry the workings for the unfollow app behind the hood. (I still have the idea of developing an unfollow app as well.)

So, the simple app that I am talking about is none other than Longertwits – http://longertwits.vickythegme.com which is most inspired by Amit Agarwal’s talltweets.

I used to use talltweets back then to tweet if I need to send more than 140 characters and some day decided why not write a similar app on my own.

Once I started, I felt pretty good that I made an app (with some errors though ;) ), I started to work on the reducing the errors that could possibly happen and let the users use it as well.

So, here I’m sharing my first twitter app. – Longertwits.

So the thing that is different about the other apps is that I happen to manage 3 types of tweeting options like Tweet as Text, Tweet as Link, Tweet as Image

I could see so many apps that use these features and not one of them having all the three.!


With respect to that, I added these 3 options to tweet  to your twitter account.

Tweet as Text :

This option lets you tweet your message in the form of text. If an user types a tweet message that is more than 140 characters, the app splits the first 140 characters and sends it first and then sends the next 140 characters and so on.

Tweet as Link :

Tweet as Link option lets you tweet a text message which is more than 140 characters as link. This means that the tweet is sent with a link such that it shows some first 40-60 characters and add a link to the tweet that is saved in our db.

This option could be very useful if someone wants to mock up an essay of something or an announcement or anything that will relate to the limit.

Tweet as Image : 

Tweet as Image is one option that is mostly inspired with the idea of talltweets which I wanted to make it available to longertwits app as well.

This option lets you to send the tweet text in the form of an image.

The Images above are the old design with bootstrap 2 and I will be changing the app with the new bootstrap 3 design real soon.

Conclusion : 

I could not say anything more than just ask you to try out this simple app Longertwits  and do let me know your feedback below in here as comments or you can ping me up on twitter -@vickythegme or anywhere you feel convenient.

It is comparatively growing as equal to Facebook these days where people starting to use Facebook for their personal preferences. People become more conservative on Facebook that they want to keep things to themselves.

This post will help you to use twitter analytics as if you've used it before.

As you know Facebook has already its graph analytics based on the posts like, share and number of clicks, Twitter has released its analytics functionality which is not much reached to all the people over the world, but still people are making use of it. You might see the Analytics at the Settings drop down at the top of the navigation bar. Sometimes you might see Ad Analytics at the place where you want to see the analytics.

You should be aware that you can only use twitter analytics if you're a publisher or developer or advertiser.

To be a publisher, you can easily create twitter cards which is explained down below.

To be an advertiser, you've to apply for the ads which is possibly a paid one.

To be a developer, all you've to do is to have an account at twitter developers site and should have atleast one app created with it. 

 Anyway it shows the number of retweets, favorites, as wel as number of clicks any url can get when shared.

Using Twitter Analytics:

Twitter Analytics can be used to its best for your business. And this post will help you know the needed. We use url shorteners that provide click analytics to know how many times the url is being clicked in a tweet.

But on Facebook, there is no need to shorten the url because there's no limitation in number of characters to be used. And this is what it makes special about Twitter.

 With the twitter analytics, you can see how many times the url is being clicked in a tweet for both shortened urls as well as the original ones. The below image shows the number of clicks and retweets, favorites for a set of tweets that are shortened.

Here is another image below that shows the number of clicks, retweets, favorites for a set of tweets that are not shortened which is that I always shorten the url so that I could save some space for the retweeters to mention people or add words to the tweet. Twitter analytics also provides you the overall analytic graph of your tweets per month and its most retweeted, favorited tweets etc., It will help you know what kind of words that work more on twitter and can optimize your tweets to reach more people.

Using Ad Analytics:

Ads Analytics are not applicable unless you pay for it to get your tweets promoted to more number of people. Still if you have ads enabled to your profile, then you'll see the number of clickbacks the url gets per day or week or month.

Follower Analytics: 

Twitter also lets you get the whole analytics of your followers lists as well as your followings.

You can view the best of your followers analytics here at twitter analytics itself. Twitter shows a graph analytic of your followers per month which is useful to analyze the growth of your business profile.

There are also other applications such as Topsy,  Hootsuite etc., that provide you twitter analytics based on your data once you sign in with your twitter account.

Card Analytics:

You can also get the analytics of your twitter cards here.

For the card analytics to work, you've to create one for your website. Inside the twitter card analytics, you'll find the URL clicks, Install Attempts and number of Retweets your tweet with the card gets.

Get your twitter card in just some clicks selecting which type of card suits your business.

 And add the code to your blog for it to work when you share a tweet with your followers.

Validate your card, make sure the card are enabled in your domain. Check for validation at twitter itself or else you can make use of the twitter card validator.

Remember you can access to your twitter analytics only if you're a publisher or advertiser or developer.

That means you can access the data if you've any twitter card enabled to your website as well.

Export Your Data:

The Export Your Data facility allows you download the analytics data and let you view the data offline.

The data will let you calculate your growth on that particular month of the year.

The export facility is only for twitter card data.

Conclusion:

Twitter analytics are useful and it is recommended one for the users who are using third party applications as well, because there might be some limitations with the twitter api that other applications can't happen to provide you with which twitter can provide you with all your data completely.

It provides you the information of how many have clicked your tweets, how many have actually viewed it etc. Another feature is that, you will be able to schedule your Tweets when you have to tweet. It helps you to tweet even when your are not online and it saves your time. I prefer Buffer and I have been consuming my time a bit lately.

Bit.ly:

  You may think a while seeing the title above as why he is referring a URL shortener in the second place. Even I was wondering about this to put it in second place. And then I figured its worth it anyway. Yes, Bitly is a URL Shortner but its been of great use to me in tweeting my posts along with my URL shortened. It is also integrated with Twitter and its basically provides you analytic information of your tweets and how much clicks it has got. I reckon this is a great feature to maintain a watch over your tweeting. It is the top most used URL shortener with analytics dashboard. The customers can set up a domain inside their account to group all the links they have shortened in order. So, I guess it solves the question for me to put it in second place.

Hootsuite:

   It is an awesome tool that manages your Twitter account as the way you instructs. Once you signup for Hootsuite, you can synchronize all your social networking accounts with it. It is a social media management tool and I mainly use it with my Twitter and my Facebook personal account. It allows you to share your posts in all the social networks you've clicked on the menu. It displays your Twitter stream in one column and your other social media profiles in other columns etc., so that you get the feel of multitasking.

TweetDeck:

  Tweetdeck is also a Twitter Management Tool which is specially designed by Twitter guys. It also manages your other social networks like the same way as Hootsuite performs. The one awesome feature of this tools other than Hootsuite is that it is available both on web and as a Desktop Application too. Hootsuite is not available as a desktop app. You can tweet your posts right from in your desktop so that its no need to login to the browser. You can even schedule the tweets by setting the time you want to share on your stream as like buffer. I recommend it as a very useful tool to manage your tweets right where you are.

Tweet Adder:

Tweet Adder is another tool to manage your Twitter account as a whole. Tweet Adder is one of the best marketing source for your business. It is awarded the Best Twitter Marketing Software"  Tweet Adder is worth of buying. It helps you to post automated tweets throughout the day. It also posts your tweets to Facebook and other pages that you synchronize in. It works automatically and posts your tweets randomly and also you can choose what task to automate. It also provides a complete statistics of your tweets and the number of clicks your tweets received. It shows a graphical representation of your referring sites to your tweets. It is a very useful tool and its worth buying for your profile.

Conclusion:

     The use of these tools consume you some time that you can use it for some other purposes other than spending much time in Twitter tweeting all the time. Now its the time that I really love to hear the other Twitter Management tools that you are using now for your Twitter Stream.
