As an academic and marketer who engages with multiple audiences on Twitter, my 2016 tweets have cumulatively averaged more than 1000 views per day. That number is increasing. In the most recent week in June 2016, my tweets were averaging over 5000 views per day.
This slide deck distills information from my Twitter account and shows ten simple strategies that I've used to grow my Twitter account with useful, engaged and receptive followers. I show actual tweets that have generated impressions and positive interactions and which have helped to grow my professional online reach. These same strategies work well in academic circles, but can also be applied by marketers, entrepreneurs, developers, students and anyone interested in having more success on Twitter.
