Personality is the best way for your tweets to get noticed

Knowing what you aren’t
it often easier to define
than what you are

Tools

Awesome Tools from Twitter Analysing your account
Getting Access!!!
>>>>>>
Trends in Mentions, Follows & Unfollows
The challenge is making this actionable.
Highlight your “best”Tweets
What’s the trends and your ideal outcomes.
There’s lots of detail in that screen
Remember Twitter’s definition of “best” might not match
yours.
Trends in followers
What leads to increases in followers?
What are your
followers
interested in?
Mostly this won’t surprise
you but where is most useful
is where it allows you to go
‘off-topic’ yet still appeal to
your audience.
Big in Japan?
Does this follow where your
targeting?
!
Do you have followers likely
to disclose their location?
These are your
influencers
Primarily this is useful for
targeting adverts.
!
But can be useful for
outreach and other purposes.
!
I often set these people up
as a private list.
