Twitter Tip #1

If there are any of you that don't already know, I'm a huge fan of Twitter. It's my favorite social media platform, and I use it more than any other social media site that I'm on. I have about 12,000 followers on Twitter, and am working steadily at growing that following. The thing I love about this platform, is the accessibility that anyone has to most anyone on the planet. Celebrities have Twitter profiles, a lot of whom manage these profiles themselves, as well as up and coming artists, musicians, business people, etc. With a strong base, you can contact CEOs of companies, people you're a fan of, and much more. To me, Twitter is like opening the door to networking. With the right tools and ways of use, you can build your Twitter following to several thousand as I've done. This is the first of a series of articles I'll be releasing explaining what I do to be successful on Twitter, and how you can do the same.  


My first tip in the series is something that I learned from Gary Vaynerchuk, a lead social networker and businessman, and someone that I admire. His article was titled, The Number One Mistake Everybody Makes on Twitter. This little tip helped me out substantially in my Twitter career. Here's the tip. When you're addressing someone on Twitter and use the @ symbol, you're talking directly to them. Right? Right. They get a notification that you tagged them in a post. Now, what if you're writing to someone, but you want the whole world to see? If you simply post something like this:


@Garyvee, I love your work. 


Only people who follow @Garyvee, and yourself, will see that post. What if you want the whole world to see the post? Put a measly little (.) in front of your post.

.@Garyvee, I love your work.

Now, not only will @Garyvee and anyone that follows the both of you see your tweet, but everyone who follows you will see it in their feed. Magic! Now you'll come up in your entire followings feed, not just the people's feeds who are both connected with you and Garyvee. 

Read Gary Vaynerchuk's original article HERE, and check HIM, and I, out on Twitter.

Thanks everyone, see you next time!

    Hello! My name is Elysia. I've written since I was six years old, and I wrote my first novel when I was twelve. I'm from Maine, and now live in Charleston, South Carolina. As far as random happy things, I've ridden a Clydesdale on the beach in California, zip-lined and swum in caves in Mexico with bats and stalactites, and spoken to an audience of 1,500. I own an old typewriter and one of Pete Wentz from FOB's guitar picks. I love to travel, and have visited nearly every US state, Canada, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, the US and the British Virgin Islands, Mexico, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Bonaire, Aruba, Switzerland, and Barcelona.  I also dream of one day watching the ball drop in New York City. I love to type (I know, I'm a weirdo), and can type approximately 140 WPM, nowhere close to Barbara Blackburn's 212 WPM record, ugh, the overachiever.

    Marketing is one of my passions, and I believe that with it, companies can multiply their business and the effectiveness of their brand.

    My other passions are entrepreneurship and  empowering other young people to beat stereotypical "youngness". Wisdom must be achieved by age, but success is attainable by anyone.


    I talk here about writing my book, the path to publishing, and becoming an entrepreneur.
