5k Followers In 3 Months (Twitter Study)

I've been getting more and more results on Twitter by the day. Consequently, I've been studying successful accounts more closely to see what it is that they're doing exactly.Some of these accounts have shown insane growth.Surely the first thought is "they're buying followers". There's an easy way to check this: How much interaction do they have on their tweets?An account with 5k followers and gets barely any likes, retweets, or replies to their tweets... That's usually a sign that most of their

How I Got INSTANT Traffic From Twitter!

I've recently started using Twitter as a new tool to generate more traffic to my newest blog. Last year, I've done the social media challenge with a group of blogger friends, and it showed promising results.Today, I'm more amazed than ever by how fast you can get results from Twitter.Depending on the niche, I suggest Instagram, Pinterest, or Twitter.

Social Media Marketing: A Great Week On Twitter!

Out of all the social media networks, I've always liked Twitter the most. I never really knew why, though! I think it's because of the simplicity: It's easy to type a short tweet, or reply to someone. I like simple things, and Twitter feels simple.Instagram for example is much more work for me because I don't like taking pictures. And Facebook has way too much stuff happening on the screen for my taste.Alright so I've enjoyed Twitter the most... however, since the social media challenge last ye

New Content Ideas: How to never run out of fresh topics!

The last few weeks I've been thinking a lot about how to get my brain back into "content creation mode".
