In the movie, “How to lose a guy in 10 days”, Andie (Kate Hudson) got a guy (Matthew McConaughey) to fall in love with her and tried to get rid of him by using classic dating mistakes made by women, all in 10 days.
What she didn’t know is that she almost missed her true love for a magazine article.
While I am pretty sure you would not find true love with the next few common twitter mistakes I am going to share, I am certain you would gain a few more followers by not committing them.
Day 1. Your updates must always and only be about pushing your product
You must not talk about anything else but your product. If not, your followers might miss your selling message. You should also repeat your tweets at least 5 times a day because your followers might not have caught your update the first time. This is the only way for them to remember you, or for them to remember to unfollow you.
Day 2. Your tweets can be inconsistent with what you said yourself to be
Yes you said you are an online marketing expert but no one said you have to show it. Just act like an average Joe and people would still believe you. Even if you represent a particular Brand does not mean you need to talk in the Brand’s voice. Your followers would not notice it anyway. Even if they do, they would not care, would they?
Day 3. Do not connect with your followers even if they tweet you
To maintain your superiority above others, you should not talk to your followers directly. Act like you are a non-living system working behind the tweets. Do not go down to the personal level as your followers might treat you like a friend and not like a professional. This is not your intention. You are not here to make friends; you are here to make money and a network of people you do not know. Keep that in mind and you are on your way to an exponential downturn in your twitter journey.
Day 4. Tweet about how you are going to hit 1000 followers by tonight
Having a great following is definitely something worth celebrating for. Why not share it with the rest of your 900+ followers? Let them know that they are just the quenchers of your thirst for greater popularity. The numbers are certainly more important than your connection with each and every one of them. Just don’t be surprised if you never hit 1000 followers.
Day 5. Tweet excessively, every minute if possible
Your followers are susceptible to so many tweets a day; they would not be able to catch your tweets if you just tweet every hour about your product! Hence, you should update every minute and if possible, every second so that their homepage only has your tweets. This will also increase the probability of them retweeting your updates! This is especially easy with auto-tweeting. You might get such a reaction from them that they might unfollow you while pulling their hair out. Awesome if you are selling a hair product!
Day 6. Unfollow your followers
