It looks like this whole Twitter thing is going to stick around for a while, so I figure I'd better get serious about it.
We're launching our new web show the first of August and I want to spread the word through Twitter. I think it could be a great place to update people about what's going on behind the scenes and upcoming episodes. The problem? My Twitter followers are scarce. Half of them, I'm afraid, are exotic dancers. I'm scared to look because I don't want my "followers" number to decrease by deleting them. Not that I have a lot of exotic dancer friends or that I have anything against exotic dancers. The fact that a baby planning group attracts so many in the adult industry leads me to believe that this is some sort of spamming technique. Though, with a name like "Peekaboo" I get a lot of interesting inquiries!
I've researched how to increase your followers and learned a lot from Holly at BurbMom.net. The girls at BurbMom are social media wizards! But, I've never really put any of these practices into play. Better late than never, right?
So, today on this blog, I am going to set a goal for Peekaboo DG and based on what I've gleaned so far, set a path for reaching that goal.
"Followers" Today = 81
"Followers" Goal = 1000 (at least!)
Time to Achieve = 3 months (10/21/2010)
Game Plan:
1.) Tweet at least 3 times a day (phew!) hopefully, with useful and/or entertaining info.
2.) Start using Tweet Photo to share pics of us and our work.
3.) Re-Tweet all the fun things I see posted.
4.) Jump in on Twitter conversations
5.) Increase my "following" number
6.) Thank people for following me - can't believe I haven't been doing this...how rude!
I'll keep you updated on my progress.
In the meantime, follow me on Twitter !
