When you first open your twitter app, you will probably notice that there is an option to show ‘trends’ or ‘top stories.’ These are two very similar features which bring interesting information to users’ attention.

The difference between them is just how they get their content. Trends use statistical algorithms to determine what items are in the trending list, while top story uses only votes from people to make its lists.

Both of these features can be quite powerful when used properly.

Get the right digital signature

Now that you have mastered finding all of your followers, liking posts, and engaging with other users, it is time to enhance your social media presence.

The next step in developing your online persona is showing up in person! Or at least virtually. Some people make a good appearance through their voice, facial expressions, and body language. These are some qualities that would match what we can learn about from studying psychology.

When interacting with others, there is one thing that most people have in common. They try to determine who they think someone else likes or respects by looking at their actions and how they respond to things. By using these strategies, you will know how to show your influence on the internet.

There are several ways to show “trending” on twitter. You can do this automatically or manually. Automatic trending requires no effort on your part except for when you want to check out what everyone is talking about. Manually doing it takes more than just an hour of planning every time you log onto the app.

Automatic trends work via algorithms that compare tweets, numbers, and words to see if anything is becoming popular. This process happens quickly so users do not need to interact with anyone nor does it take very long to find something interesting.

Choose the right theme

Choosing your style is influenced by what features you want to show and which ones you don’t. There are many free, pre-made styles available online and in apps that contain all of this information.

You can always create your own style as well! Once you have determined the needed features, you will need to pick an interface for these features. This includes deciding if you would like to use mobile or desktop versions, and then picking a platform (iOS, Android, Windows, etc.).

Buy a domain name

Having an easy to find, descriptive website address is a key part in showing the world who you are as a person or business.

It’s like having your own little piece of the internet!

By registering your URL with one of the many free web hosting services, you can easily edit your site content, add pictures and videos, run advertising, create polls, and more.

Most people start off by using a free template they copy and paste into their page, but it is not a good looking quality article- that will hurt you later.

Finding a good domain name requires doing some research and testing out different names to see which ones work better for your site. It’s also important to pick a short, catchy name to increase engagement. If there is already a popular site with your search term, you may want to buy that instead so your followers link to it.

There are several ways to purchase a domain name including through individual websites, marketplaces, and pre-existing domains sites. Make sure to do your homework before buying anywhere though, to ensure you get what you pay for.

General rules about domains: don’t use words already registered, be creative, no.com or.net domains (unless you have proof you owned them first), and stay away from really expensive domains.

Create your blog

Now that you have all of the tools needed to start creating blogs, it’s time to pick which one you want to be your own!

There are two main types of bloggers out there – those who focus on content and those who use social media to increase their online presence. Many people combine both by sharing interesting things they find online and incorporating some type of social media platform into their business model.

By and large, quality writers can make good money writing for digital magazines and sites with rich paying audience bases. Plus, being a writer is a pretty fun job if you love doing creative work and communicating ideas.

So why not try blogging? You get to write what you like, you earn via readers and advertisers, and you may even learn something new every day. It’s an ever-expanding field that grows along with technology.

Buy products to put into your blog

It is not hard to pick up some of the best tools for bloggers that have you create an account, then purchase a plan or a monthly subscription to use them.

There are many free plugins available but most lack features and/or require you to sign up for their own service to use some of those features.

Some do offer limited functions for free but if you need special functionality be sure to check out whether it is included before purchasing!

Overall, there are several really good paid apps and services that can save you time in creating and maintaining your site.

Start gaining followers

Starting with you having to choose whether to show only your own tweets, or include @replies and direct messages can be confusing! Luckily, there are some easy ways to do it. You will still have to pay attention to how many people like/dislike your tweet, but you won’t have to look at every single person's profile.

There are two main types of trending lists that you can add to your Twitter feed - Top News and People. Both contain valuable information.

The top news list gives you an overview of what everyone else is talking about by listing the most popular hashtags and URLs. This is very helpful if you want to know what people are interested in at the moment.

A more personalised way to find out what people are thinking about is to use someone else's list as a source. For example, if you follow the sports team XYZ, they may create a special hashtag for their latest match. By clicking this link and adding it to your list, you get a feel for what others think about the game.

There is no wrong choice here; it just depends on which type of info you are looking for.

Connect with influencers

It is not enough to simply use the trending feature to see all of the cool things people are talking about. You need to connect with these trends to reap the benefits. For example, if you notice that everyone is talking about TV shows, create an account dedicated just to watching TV shows and get some insights!

You can also find your niche by looking at which topics are generating the most buzz and seeing what types of content people are sharing within those categories.

By adding value to this conversation, you will eventually be selected as one of the main contributors to the trend. This way, your followers will refer to you as an expert in the field!

Twitter has various features for free and paid users, so make sure to check out the full spectrum to maximize your exposure.

Start commenting on videos

Starting at the very beginning, tweeting about what you love is a great way to get more followers! If you enjoy watching YouTube videos, then starting a video comment is your best bet for increasing your follower count quickly.

By adding interesting information to the comments of other people’s videos, you will start to draw new viewers. Your comments can also be related to the video or simply about how much you enjoyed it.

If you are struggling to come up with something clever to say, you can just state who you are and add “I like this” as a comment. This works well if you have a business account that is used for promoting yourself, or creating an account specifically to gain fans.
