This won't be complete as there are a lot of add on apps one can get to help, too many to mention.
But, lets talk about getting your efforts coordinated so you can promote yourself and get followers.
Don't Fake It:
This isn't about buying a fake twitter account and cheating your way into acting like you're so popular (fake and a scam).
Time Released:
It's important to remember to release content at the best times, when it will be seen by people who then might like or even share something you post.
The best times are between 7 PM and 11 PM according to 'impressions from twitter analytics.' If you have a tweeter account and view your analytics posting all day, you'll notice an up-tic in impressions during this period.
Linked Content:
Lets start with the basics:
Get a:
Twitter Account, (use UnfollowerStats and an app that allows for instant thank you's with your links, and be nice by admitting it is auto-generated message).
YouTube Account,
Facebook Page,
Instagram Account (use the app IFTTT, If This Then That, to link to many platforms).
and link them so when you post, it also posts somewhere else (saving you the time from copying/pasting the content and perhaps forgetting)....
Blog Control
But if you really want control, you need to pre-schedule the release of content. This is best done with a blog, like WordPress. WordPress allows you to write content including posting videos, images, even sketchfab.com models and have that content release at a specific minute, then have it share across most platforms.
For YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch you'll have to copy the code to your blog for this to occur, so video is 'out' regarding easy sharing across the most platforms.
Linked control of your content is the only way to move through the process of sharing information, because you want to spend the most time on making great content. Having a great personality, or sharing something really great, will generate followers, usually. Not everyone can do this, so follow these suggestions to get more followers:
Follow Twitter, YouTube, Twitch profiles, etc.
But follow the right followers at the right time, here's how:
Go to hardware, software or other sites on twitter, like on Twitter you might go to the Call of Duty game profile (@CallofDuty ), that has hundreds of thousands or millions of users. Go to their followers and start following. You are now following people who are probably online and might just quickly follow you back.
Warning, once you start following a lot of followers Twitter will make you reset your password. Easy if you have your phone as a security backup, as they will text you a code.
You can only follow 1000 people on twitter per day. Do it in the evening when more people are on.
Don't break any of twitter's rules and get your account closed.
During prime-time, retweet some of your best tweets. If you don't have any, go to giphy.com and find some animated gifs, add a caption and share it to your twitter. Be sure to know if the gif is linked to something and check that out to make sure it is okay. When you're done retweeting, you can 'un-retweet' but be sure to not click on 'delete' of the retweet as that will eliminate the original tweet, which you may want to use again.
Of course, all this could be set up in a blog weeks in advance, and scheduled to release during the time period that's prime.
Mini-Flood:
You should tweet 4 or 5 items in a 3 minute period, so people will see your content and icon (have a good icon for your twitter account, one that pops). This will give someone reading the twitter feed the idea that you have good tweets worthy of a follow. If you can pull of 3 mini-floods in an evening it will help, but don't expect too many followers just yet. Often for this to actually have an impact you need enough followers who might comment, like or share. Any given night if you have 5000 followers there might be 10 or 20 of these actually online on twitter, and maybe 1 or 2 might notice your tweet.
If you start getting 10 or more likes for a tweet, and a few shares you're doing great.
Deals:
Tell people about deals in the gaming world, if you can. I believe there's a way to make money doing this (someone else please enlighten us on how to make money with your channel, stream, sharing deals, etc.). Those interested will start to follow you. Often the deals say 'follow and share to qualify.'
Your Twitter Account Profile.
Be sure to add your main link to your main profile, on YouTube, Twitch, HackHunters, whatever :D
Add hashtags to the main words like '#COD #gamer' so if someone does a search for those terms they might find you.
Learn how to @HackHunters especially for games, as you just might get a retweet from the game developer, especially if it's a smaller game title.
It's a long, tedious, ridiculous process:
The vast majority of twitter users have maybe 20 followers. Despite that you will run across the 16 year old who has close to 200,000 followers. That account is probably fake and there's someone somewhere following people to raise the followers to a point where they can sell the account to a fake person. Do us a favor, block them to help slow down the spread. I've even seen 'official twitter accounts' go from following 2 million people down to following no one so they could sell the account.
This is why 'unfollowerstats' web browser program is so good. It will show you who the fake accounts are, those who never follow anyone. It will also show you who unfollowed your account, clueing you into something fishing going on.
My next post will talk about how this linking should actually work.
