How to run a Successful Twitter fan Account
In this article I will be giving my tips and tricks on how to run and maintain a successful twitter fan account. These steps will help for whatever fandom you are in. Running a fan account can be fun and easy if you know what to do; that's why I'm here to help! There are 4 main steps to achieving this:
First Step: The Account
- Make a username thats original and relatable to the fandom you are in.
- Follow “mutuals”: people with the same interests or in the same fandom as you. I recommend to follow a bunch of people to start off your account.
- Its also beneficial to follow people who aren't very popular and who follow a lot of people back, so you have a better chance of them following you in return.
- Matching layout is very important as well.
Second Step: Tweeting
- Be creative with your tweets, use interesting hashtags.
- Also tweet pictures (it makes things more fun).
- Join in tweeting things that are “trending”, or popular hashtags that people in your fandom are talking about.
- Don’t retweet too many things, that makes your account look unoriginal and unappealing. Keep your retweets similar to what you're account is about, don't retweet something completely different.
- Don't always tweet negative or mean things, of course you can say your opinion/feelings on things, but tweeting too many negative things is as turn off and will annoy your followers and probably end up with you losing followers.
Third Step: Spam
- Spam can be good or bad, depends how you are spamming. Some people go overboard and constantly tweet out spam to people. Those people tend to get annoying and you will lose followers.
- Good spam that normally gets your idols attention to follow/tweet you normally consists of jokes, emoticons, and pictures/drawings.
- Don't constantly tweet your spam, its better to leave some time in between, so it doesn't show up on your followers timeline all at once, which is very annoying.
Fourth Step: Internet Friends
- Reply to peoples tweets
- Reply/retweet “indirects”, which are when a person gives you their opinion on you and your account. This can help if they suggest that you seem cool, or you should direct message/become friends with them.
- Do the basic thing and tweet “Anyone wanna become friends?’ and pray that someone actually does.
- Pretend you’re super cool and interesting and try to intrigue people to wonder more about you.
- Its easier to become friends with people who have around the same followers as you.
I'm not skilled with every single step, but those are what I've learned from other people and myself. I hope this article helped you out!! Good luck!!
