How 7 Top Influencers Share Great Content on Twitter

The digital battle is on!

Content competition is fierce. One billion websites, two billion plus social media users and 3 billion plus mobile owners. So you need to break through the clutter not only on desktop but on smart phones. But build it and they will come is not an option.

Content marketing is two words.

So you not only have to create great content. But you have to build distribution networks for that content and then hustle it to the world on social, email and search engines. It needs persistent focused effort. That’s marketing.

How do you do that?

You can pay for it and pull out the credit card and start advertising on Facebook and Google. This is the fast way to put content in front of potential readers, viewers and customers. This is possible if you have the money but not the time.

But if you want to earn it rather than pay for it then you have a lot to do. This includes doing all of the following.

Build distribution on Social media by growing your followers
Make it easy for them to share your content
Guest blogging for the top influencers in your industry
Increase the size of your email list
Grow your search engine ranking so your content gets found on the first page of Google

This is the work of years. But to make it even harder Facebook has changed the game in social. It has made the “earned attention” harder. It’s organic reach is approaching zero.

But there is one social network that doesn’t choke your posts and make them invisible through filtering to your followers.

Twitter.

Twitter power

Twitter is used by many top influencers to display their content and ideas. How do they use Twitter?

They have taken the time and put in the effort to build their social distribution.

Then they make sure that they are tweeting often.

What type of content works for influencers?

To find content I use the Popsters tool.

This is a great social app that allows you to find their top content on Twitter. It is a cool tool that allows me to find the top content not only on Twitter but Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Using this tool I have discovered what type of content gets shared the most and has the highest engagement.

Here are 7 of the top influencers on social media according to Forbes and some of their top tweets.

1. Kim Garst

Kim is a Twitter powerhouse and has over 400,000 Twitter followers. Kim is a prolific tweeter and uses images often and well. If you want to see Twitter “best practice” follow Kim. She is a great example to model your Twitter tactics on!
