This post is for bloggers who need help with building their Twitter presence.
I went from 91 followers to 419 followers in 2 days! I was blown away at how easy the process was.
For some of you going from 91 to 419 is no big deal. But, for me the resources below really helped. On Jan 31 I was at 44 followers, by Feb 16 I was up to 91. and by Feb 18 I had reached 419… Today Feb 22 I am at 538 followers.
So this is a big difference for me!
How to Build your Twitter Following
I got a message from another blogger (@momresource) on Twitter that asked me to check out a page on her blog How I Get Paid to Tweet I read it and thought well that is wonderful but I don’t have any followers I don’t think I’d ever get paid to tweet!
My negative thinking was turned around once I read her next post Twitter for Beginners here was an easy to understand process that I could do. I could build my following, and I could eventually get paid to tweet!
Having a blog is a lot of fun but it is a little hard when you are not earning anything on all the hard work that you are pouring in.
I am still in the “not earning” zone. So I am looking for different ways to make my blog profitable. I really love how momresource.com has tons of resources all in one place.
I signed up for her emails and am really looking forward to learning more. I love sharing information and think that newer bloggers that are trying to build a twitter following could benefit from reading those articles.
Simple Start
- Read Twitter for Beginners
- Read How I Get Paid to Tweet
- Start Tweeting, be social respond to comments! Share your own posts but also be generous with sharing other blogger’s content.
**Updated: I wrote this post on 2/22/16 today is 2/28/16 and I am now over 1,000 followers on Twitter! Come follow me, I’ll follow you back 🙂
**Another update: 3/25/2016 I am over 3,o0o Twitter followers and I love engaging with everyone on Twitter! Saira’s method over at momresource.com is just so simple and you see growth results. I love that she freely gives her methods for gaining followers relevant to your niche AND how to get paid to tweet! So awesome for bloggers and mommas! The only thing I had to purchase was the app Crowdfire and I do not regret it since it has been so valuable for growing my twitter!

Thanks so much for sharing. I just started my blog and have been putting off social media ?
You are welcome Kelly! I was the same way, trust me. I don’t think I got my social media act together until last month when I actually started my FB page, Twitter and using Instagram. I still kinda hate FB, lol. I feel like I don’t know what to post on everything every day! I wish you luck and will be visiting your blog 🙂 If you have any questions feel free to email me at Crystal@lovemoreliveblessed and I’d be happy to help!

Saira, thank you for your awesome post about Twitter! It really helped me this past weekend and I shared it with my sister too and she’s built her following to over 500 now. So we are working on this together. 🙂 I already signed up for your twitter course, lol, I am ready! Can’t wait to learn about your strategy. You have a great week!
I’ve read both those article and they tips are spot on! I am working on building my following as well. I do ok sharing other’s posts, but could probably do better interacting!
Rachel, I get what you mean. I have trouble interacting because with Twitter it’s so fast paced.. And I am not comfortable with it all yet. Lol. But we’ll get there. I’m glad you found the posts helpful! I am so happy I connected with Saira because I was really struggling with Twitter.
Wow you followers went up fast! I didnt even know you could get paid to twitter! I would love it if you joined in at my Monday of Many Blessings Link Up! http://ourhomeofmanyblessings.com/

It took me for what felt like FOREVER to earn money off of my blog. I still have dry spells, but my social media has been a surprising source of income. When I started blogging I would have never imagined you could make money from tweeting and Instagram-ing. 🙂
XOXO
