Fantastic Twitter Feature
Since I implemented a “pinned tweet” on my Twitter account in June, I received week-for-week around 1,500 views on my About.Me page.  Before I was happy when 20 people viewed this site.  And as I list all my other social media sites on “About.Me”, I suddenly get more followers on these sites too.
.
IT WORKS!

THE greatest feature on Twitter, which was implemented over a year ago, is almost unknown… Make it as easy as possible for new and potential followers to locate your most important content.
.

Only 1% of Your Followers …
Otherwise followers might never see this important tweet – after all they are not 24/7 on Twitter.  Stats show that only 1% of your following is online at any one time.  Even if you have ten-thousands of followers, only a handful will see your tweet when you only post it once a day or once a week. And very few can / will re-tweet it.  Only with many re-tweets you are found by new followers.

.
Answer Yourself These Questions:
Why are you on Twitter?  What do you post usually?  If you had to choose just one, which would be your most important tweet?  My assumption is, you are on Twitter to meet and network with others and not only that, but to communicate with readers, present and future, and to show off your books from time to time.

.
More Questions:
Who do you follow on Twitter?  Do you go to their profile page?  If you are like me then you study their profile page.  Who are they?  What do you have in common?  Do they have a website or blog? What do they post on Twitter?

Retweet When Following a New Tweep?
You decided to follow an author or book blogger.  Most likely you study their profile page and you will re-tweet some of their latest posts. You are looking for something to re-tweet that benefits the person you are following… But you can only find random tweets, not worth to repeat / re-tweet.  Did he or she not just launch a new book?  Or received an award?  Or has an interesting blog article out?  Sometimes you are scrolling down forever (if you are patient enough), until you find something worth retweeting. Often tweeps are making it extremely difficult for others to help them…

.
Check Out Your Own Twitter Profile.
Is each of your tweets really worth re-tweeting for a new follower?  Wouldn’t you like to have a tweet – always on top – that you like your followers to re-tweet.  Twitter rolled out a new feature for profile pages that allows you to keep an important tweet visible 24/7 and it is called a “Pinned Tweet”. Are you using it yet? If not, start right now – on each of your Twitter accounts. As an author you can pin a tweet with a link to your book page at the top of your Twitter profile.

.
This is How it Works:
Twitter has made it very simple to pin a tweet to the top of your profile page. However, as of this writing, It doesn’t work on mobile apps yet. Choose and post your most important tweet – and don’t forget to add an attractive image. Now look for and click on the three little dots on the right bottom of your tweet. Choose “Pin to your profile page” from the list.
.
Notice how that tweet shows as “Pinned Tweet”?  And from now on it will be the first tweet on your profile for every visitors to see!

What is your “Pinned Tweet”?
