Common mistakes made on Twitter
While there are plenty of Twitter stats telling you how to reach your followers, many of them only talk about fictional numbers.
I give a lot of trainings on using Twitter.
A lot of times I see a lot of common mistakes being made such as these.
- Not tweeting enough
- Low engagement with other Twitter users
- Tweets are too long
- Overuse of hashtags
- Not sure which Twitter accounts to follow
While these don’t seem like major issues. If you continue to do this, don’t expect your Twitter presence to take off.
A lot of these activities are bad practices and stunt your growth on Twitter.
While they are helping you learn how to use Twitter and to be more active, they aren’t helping you get to the next level.
If you want to become an influencer on Twitter and to develop a strong presence, you need to be putting out less noise.
Fortunately a lot of these mistakes can be easily fixed with a few small changes.
