The 12 Commandments To Stop Losing Followers
- Don’t overwhelm your audience – be cool and human
- Respond within 30 minutes – whenever possible
- Practice hashtag discipline – #do #not #over #do #it
- 80% Entertain and 20% Sell – avoid being pushy, or needy (even worse)
- Address your users directly – speak like a real person, not like a bot
- Don’t auto DM – maybe the worse thing that exists through the social web
- Tweet with room to reply – leave some character space for RTs and replies
- Don’t tag without permission – you would not like others to tag you either, right?
- Always add sources and descriptors – give back to Caesar….
- Please, no #tagforlikes – no begging, seriously
- Use ideal frequencies – know when your audience is most responsive
- You get what you give – are you spending enough time to engage with your followers?
