Recently I posted 3 effective ways to grow your social media platforms, for those of you who are still doubting Thomas, if you visited my Twitter handle or instagram then and compared it with now, you will see some dramatic change.

I also promised to keep you updated as I find out more, like I said before, these are not theoritical views, I practice them daily!

Last time, I advised you to really define your personality, let people know about you and what you do in not more than 200 characters.
Also, if it's a business, attach a clear image of the business logo or whatever you chose to represent it with, if it's personal, it will do you good to have a clear picture of your face attached also. Real People are likely to follow you back, like or accept your request when they can see who they are dealing with.

Occasionally, if you are using Twitter as an  advertising tool, you should retweet your followers Tweets, mention new followers on your Tweets. It assures them, you see them and you appreciate them following you.

Also, one tool that's really effective on increasing your followers on instagram is immediately following back those that follows you.
If you have experienced a sudden drop on the number of your followers be it on Twitter or instagram, one thing mostly causes it!

You see these people follow you, mostly if you are a business entity, they follow you so they can get to know your latest products and services. But if for any reason, for maybe a day or two you don't upload or Tweet, it's assumed your account is dormant, not fun to hang out with you. So many will withdraw their likes or follow.

So be sure to be active! Post or tweet minimum of twice a day!
And also know the right time to post, time zone difference can really at times affect the effectiveness of your Tweets or posts, so find out the country or state of the higher number of your followers, calculate your time zone with theirs and post or tweet when you know they will be online or can go online, else you will be wondering why no body is engaging your posts, the reason might be you are tweeting or posting stuff when they are sleeping!

If you are trying to push traffic to a certain site, you should always attach a link to your post or Tweets, though instagram doesn't allow links, you can design catching pictures to interest your audience into checking your site, I have checked out many like that, it has also worked for me, why should your case be any different!

WARNING: To  avoid your Twitter account being blocked I advise you to be careful with quick growth online apps, so many of them are shady and can cause  twitter to block your account making you start all over again, it happened to me once, so i  advice you take these simple practical steps that may even get you quicker results! 

I hope you find these tips fulfilling!
