What would Dr. Seuss think of social media today? Would the 110-year-old author find it an excuse to go play? Would he master the 140-character limit? Maybe increase his Twitter followers in under a minute?
Dr.Seuss knew it best when Twitter was put to the test.
The short and sweet social platform isn’t all about numbers, but connecting with people brings powerful wonders. So how do you stand apart from the pack? Take a look at this guide from HootSuite and give it a whack.
One Tweet, Two Tweets, Old Tweets, New Tweets,
Short Tweets, Long Tweets, Right Tweets, Wrong Tweets;
Tweets about content, content about Tweets.
How do you get retweets when all your Tweets seem like repeats?
Social media is full of great posts for you to read,
And photos and videos that dance through your feed.
That’s all well and good, except when you need,
People to see YOU! That’s a challenge indeed.
So how do you stand, apart from the pack,
Or send Tweets that keep them all coming back?
There’s a few key points, to keep in mind
If you’re looking to leave all the other’s behind.
First, let Tweets breath. Give your message some time.
Clogging up feeds, has no reason or rhyme.
If you send Tweets too much, you’ll risk looking like spam,
But not the good kind you fry with green egg and ham.
Schedule your Tweets, maybe once every hour?
They should fall like rain drops, not the whole shower.
If you space them out right, I think that you’ll find
People will read and re-read and you’ll stay top-of mind.
Gaining Twitter followers can be a tricky thing indeed, but it only takes one person on your team to believe. Be patient with your strategy and keep up with the trends and soon all those Twitter followers will come filing in.
