How to Get Over Your Fear Of Twitter | Why Twitter Scares Me

I am the first to admit that Twitter is terrifying. Give me a blog, Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn and I am happy to learn more about them and rock the platforms. But Twitter is an entire new ball game for me. There are parts of the platform that make me a little nervous and I am just not used to. But that doesn’t mean that I should disregard it all together.

Twitter has 321 million monthly users. So not being on Twitter is not an option. You need to be on Twitter. You need to get over that fear of messing up or not knowing how the platform works. You need to make sure that whatever you are doing, is at least showing up. The bare minimum is to show up. Even if you don’t feel like you can like, retweet or start a thread, you are at least showing up.

 

How to Get Over Your Fear Of Twitter | How I Got Over It

If you don’t already, set up a Twitter account. Get a username just like your others and put up a profile picture that matches your other ones, this creates brand consistency. Then start following accounts that are similar to the content you will be creating & pushing out.

I have talked about Buffer before. You know how much I love the platform. If it isn’t for you, that is fine, but you need to have a scheduling app for Twitter. Schedule out Twitter posts from your content as far out as you can. This will give you some buffer room to find other content to post (see what I did there).

But how do you find content that fits with your brand and is relevant to your audience. That is an excellent question! Of course, you want to have your own original content included in your Twitter feed. But you can’t have only original content, that would be exhausting.
