Do you want more engagement on your X Profile... Yes or No?
Do you ”want” more engagement on your profile…
Yes or No
Ok well…
Firstly do you actually “deserve” more engagement on your profile (currently)
Yes or No
If you say No you don't deserve more engagement… do you think X will waste its time feeding your posts any more engagement?
No
What can we do to earn the attention of the just some of the billions of readers that are on X everyday?
To define “value”... a valuable page would be showing me things I’ve never seen before and making me think in ways that I have never thought before
A valuable page would be changing my thought processes in a way that will create a positive effect in my life
If I were to post a valuable “question” on my profile would that be an effective method to provoke good thoughts in my readers' minds?
Fuck yes it is
Is it possible to ask a question AND provide a lot of value at the same time?
Fuck yes it is
Is it possible to ask dumb questions that are clearly intended on getting a reaction from thousands without any real value behind the question
Yes it is
So… if you invest the mental energy into the creation of many thought provoking & productive question tweets over time you will have built the reputation as someone who provokes thought and productivity in your readers minds
That sounds valuable to me
I’m not saying to only post questions but what I am saying you need to respectfully increase the attention you are getting if you are committing to a new life online…
Use questions intermittently to boost your engagement
Making the questions productive & thought provoking allows room for question posts to be useful to your readers
Question posts are something that I see abused all too often
And of course you see the stupid question posts more often
But everything we see is just what is most popular and viral
The essence you choose to put in all of your questions is your responsibility
If you choose to ask the questions like “do you breath air” yes or no
You will reach a couple thousand of people and a couple of thousand people will have a giggle
But anyone that clicks through will see a low value low vibration page that has just posted a cheap silly question post and you will be categorised under useless and forgotten about
How do we become categorised under “useful” and your previous readers return to seek out your opinion…? You provide value, you don’t betray their trust with stupid questions, you do take the difficult path and fill the questions with unique observations and relatable valuable content.
Once you get people thinking about their unique lives
You get peoples unique experiences being shared in your comments
Unique responses from many different people is very interesting media
Popcorn effect GIF
Not only are you provoking your readers thoughts process
whilst delivering and abundance of value
But many other people will want to be involved in the conversation
And follow along to return to the conversation many times in the future
This sounds like a killer recipe for a mad amount of organic engagement
The X algorithm has no fucking idea what you write…
It just knows that people have either…
Chosen to interact with your content
or they chose not to
The algorithm watches the activity of every person that sees your content
did the person stop and read it?
or did they scroll straight past…
Did they click through to your profile & seek out more of your work
Or did they invest their attention somewhere else more promising…
Get the algorithm on your side and you it will trust you with giving you more reach
You will develop a reputation not only with the algorithm but also with your new followers on X
I asked a question the other day and every single person answered incorrectly
they were being honest at least but it was an eye opening post
it showed me that no-one is thinking about the big picture for their growth
They are thinking small
Are you one of them? still thinking small
I asked…
It wasn’t a highly viral post but as I will explain later “viral” and “value” are not the same thing
And both serve different roles in your pages growth
I asked people what they look for when they are navigating around on X…
And every person on this post answered the exact opposite of what will equal growth
I get on my feed and I do not look at profile pictures
I do not look at writing style, likes or comments
I look at the reach
How far did the power of tthis tweet drive itself into the world?
X will push a post to more readers but only if it deserves the attention
I want to find more viral posts
I want to know about the viral posts made them go viral
I want to absorb and understand more viral content so I can then repackage it
Using this viral content create my own “original” & potentially “much better” post
You are not stealing… you are doing the world a favor by breathing new life into it
You are not stealing… you are simply catching the pitch and throwing it further
You are using the momentum of a great topic and creating even more momentum
With your unique life and experiences that no-one else can replicate
You have a unique story or experience to remix that post as your own
No-one “owns” any of these topics
Where do you think they got the inspiration from themselves…?
Plagiarising is fucked
And if you copy and paste someone's hard work as your own you should rot in hell
But alternatively if you become good at recognising “high quality content”
And have the balls to test it out in new ways
The world is a better place and you are doing the world a favor
Its highly likely that after you repurpose and redirect these viral topics in your own original way this information will reach people that it never would have reached without you
So how do you become good at recognising “high quality content”?
You don’t have to
The twitter algorithm already does that for you
- The reach -
If you want to know what topics are reaching more people on X
Which number should you be looking at when you read peoples posts on X…
A. the post content
-
the comments
C. the likes
D. the reach
If you said D thankyou for paying attention throughout this discussion
And I look forward to our future valued discussions on your journey of online growth my friend
If you said A, B or C
…
Then you either are not interested in growing online
