Do you need help marketing on Twitter? If so, you are not alone. In fact, Twitter is the hardest platform to market on. After marketing on twitter for two years, i came up with this idea to share only a smidge of what i've learned thus far!

I sat down recently and thought about the most common questions I get asked about how I make money on twitter. One thing I’ve noticed for two years is that most people are simply unaware of how to market and the strategies that they can use for their brand. Truthfully, all of the tips below won’t apply to you, so pick and choose what you need and shout me out on social media if it helps lol.

To help you out, I created a table of contents so you’ll know what to expect and which sections you may find the most useful. Just so you know, I will also be turning each of these into individual blog post and going more in depth about how to make them apply to your brand seamlessly.

1. What not to do?
2. Different strategies to try
3. New skills to learn and enhance
4. Where can you learn new skills?
5. Mindset tips
6. Things you can do RIGHT NOW

What not to do when marketing on twitter:

I believe that identifying what not to do is essentially more important than knowing exactly what to do. The reason being that if you know what not to do, everything else will at least be a step in the right direction. If you are already doing these things, stop, right now. If you don't care to stop, then skip to the next section and do what you do best. There is no need to get super antsy about this, because marketing is an art and art is what?

It is subjective!

So, at the very least i do suggest avoiding these 12 things when marketing on twitter:

1. Don’t steal content
2. Don’t buy followers
3. Don’t only use automatic posts
4. Don’t use automated DM response systems
5. Don’t do things you aren’t comfortable with
6. Don’t take mental notes, take literal notes
7. Don’t spam people
8. Don’t pretend to be someone you aren’t
9. Don’t complain about people not supporting you
10. Don’t talk about things unrelated to your brand
11. Don’t talk about controversial things if you don’t want to be attacked
12. Avoid spamming other people’s posts with unwarranted promotions

Different strategies to try:

The main thing is making sure you are creative, joining conversations, and maintaining visibility. You literally want it to be to the point that under every viral posts, your followers see you and potential clients start to recognize you as well. No matter what, please understand that using social media for business is a long game. Trying to make money on social media and building passive income is a long game. If you want something quick and easy, i unfortunately cannot help you because i am not well versed in fly by night companies and scams. 

What i can help you do though is build a brand that people love and that they will promote to the people they love. If that's what you want, then that is what i am here for.
