How I Use Twitter To Boost My Views
It seems to help me.
I have a love-hate relationship with Twitter.
I won’t go into the negative now. This isn’t the place for that.
I have a couple of different accounts for different purposes but primarily use this one for my Medium work.
When I publish a new story, I try to be sure to include the birdie.
The first thing I do is control-C copy two or three lines of the story. I usually use the first few of the story, but I have used others from time to time. I open the new tweet and control-V paste the lines.
Then I go back to the tab where my new article sits, hit the ellipsis and select edit, and click on “copy the friend link.”
Next, I go back to the tab where Twitter waits, and control-V the friend link, it puts my picture on the tweet along with the title and link. If I had room and wanted to I may note that it’s a FREE read.
One last note, I don’t feel I can only tweet my new stories. I try to keep those to half of my tweets or less. The rest is useable info, quotes, and retweets from others. Again, there is work involved.
As I get more Twitter followers, the process should also be more powerful.
That’s it. The results seem to beat simply hitting the Twitter icon when I publish, but it’s a good bit more work. I didn’t go too deeply into the process here obviously, but I’d be interested if anyone has other takes of our Twitter friend.
