I was reading some Twitter guides from Mom Resource and found there are so many things I didn’t know about Twitter, and some of these really surprised me.
1. Some BIG companies pay you for tweeting.
I am quite surprised of this. I used to work on some micro tasks to get one or two cents by tweeting, but Saira, the author of Mom Resource got paid up to $35 per tweet. She also mentioned some companies pay $0.80 per tweet, which is still very good pay for me.
2. There is limit for number of following you can have.
Saira stated the limit was 2000, but I just checked on Twitter support page, the limit is 5000. Perhaps Twitter has lifted up the limit.
There is no limit for number of followers, but Twitter wants to prevent aggressive following. Once we have followed 5000 users, the limit might lift up according to the number of followers we have.
3. You can learn more about your tweet activities at Twitter Analytics
All of our tweet activities have already been tracked here. You can know how many tweets you have posted, tweet impressions, profile visits, summary and highlights for each month, etc. It is good to analyze how we do, and what we do well.
4. There is Twitter Chat
It’s like a networking event where users can discuss a certain topic. You might learn more about the topic that you are discussing and also meet more people that share the same interest. It is also a good way to build our networking on Twitter.
This is not a surprise I found out from Mom Resource, but from Buffer. You can learn more about Twitter Chat from this post.
5. You can share video on Twitter
I have always seen pictures being attached to the tweets, but I have not try out uploading videos yet. Besides uploading videos, we can also record the video or create live video using the Twitter app. I always thought twitter is mainly for text, and perhaps images, but video seems to be quite popular nowadays, and Twitter is adding this great feature too.
You can read more information about sharing video from this Twitter Support post.
First time to know about this!
There’s a Twitter Chat? Now that I did not know.
I don’t go for twitter much, as I prefer Facebook.
I have a twitter account but not very active on it. I use Facebook and Pinterest to share my blogs.
Very interesting, I didn’t know some of them
From your post I just found out if people can earn money to tweet.. hmmm..
I knew about these when I stumbled upon those posts about influencers as well. But nowadays it seems like more bloggers go for Instagram.
I didn’t know some comanies pay people to share tweet
What is vpn?
VPN stands for virtual private network. I think some people use VPN to hide their actual location. For more details, you gotta learn more about it from the Internet. I am not too sure how it works. 🙂
Very interesting, I didn’t know some of them
kaka135, thank you for your post. I learnt something new today. Interesting!
Thanks for sharing
I didn’t know also. I created twitter account for sharing my blog in virily. I wonder, how twitter pays you?
You can check out the link I mentioned in the post, it’s from Mom Resources. We must have a huge number of Twitter followers in order to start making money. So, let’s start building the follower list now, if you don’t already have a lot. I am working on that now.
I had no idea you could get paid for twitters. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, surprisingly there are quite a number of ways to do so. Just check out the link I mentioned. I think you must have lots of followers in your Twitter, perhaps you can give it a try. 🙂
I have tweeter account and from time to time, I am sharing some contents in there but I never been active in that app. But it’s good to have some information from you in this post…
I wasn’t active on Twitter until I needed to promote my posts there. I think it’s a good site where we can share or promote.
Another thing that you can add is they frown on people using a VPN. I had my first account that was 10 years old with over 10K followers Blocked by them for using a VPN. In the early days Twitter allowed anonymity, not any more, they want your phone number and they will call to verify it.
Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know about this. It seems like many sites do not allow VPN, and nowadays many sites require phone number to verify too.
