Micro-blogging just like other area of human endeavor requires doing the right things if you are really serious about success. While we cheer the effort of the Leo team in giving us a platform to advance our short content, our approach or strategy could be the difference between doing so well and becoming the next failure. The choice is ours to make. But then, we need to make an informed decision based on knowledge.

So in order to go far as a micro-blogger on threads, I am ready to share 4 most common mistakes that successful micro-bloggers would advice you to avoid at all cost. Lets take a look at all of them.

Avoid these 4 mistakes on threads

  • Poor engagement or lack of engagement: How do you feel when people ignore you? Maybe they responded reluctantly to you communications or completely gave you a cold shoulder. However you feel is exactly the feeling when you fail to respond to engage with your audience on threads. Engagement is as important as the threads you create. When you respond to comments on your threads, you show that you value your audience and appreciate their input.

Communication is the foundation of all human relationships. Engagement is a vital part of communicating on threads. So when a user comments on a thread you made, do not waste time to reply to their comments. try to be constructive with your replies to comments on your threads. The idea is that you wish to carry on the conversation. So try not to avoid short, 2 or 3 word replies. They are conversation killers. Instead of just saying beautiful plant, add reasons why you feel that way and maybe share personal ideas or thoughts about the subject.

  • Do not Promote too many links: A lot has already been said about sending threads with links. It is not entirely wrong to once in a while promote quality posts through your threads. However, what is wrong is to fill up your threads page with links and promoted articles. I understand that one could earn some gosh through that, but you need to grow beyond that as a micro-blogger. You have to have a niche and stand out from the rest.

Your audience need to know your content for something. It could be nature, adventure, gardening or other things. You could likewise micro-thread on general topics. But then, when you have a niche, it could make it easier to build a unique audience. More important, it helps you to put out quality content that will be appreciated by a crowd passionate for that.

So basically, avoid filling up your threads page with links of promoted content. Instead of that, write quality content that people would keep coming back to look for more. Also have time to engage with your audience. That way, you will have a fan base that are eager to come to your page and look for more.

  • Avoid being inconsistent: This is a huge mistake made by many micro-bloggers on thread. lack of consistency. This really affects their frequency of making threads and the engagement they do. When you publish at random, your audience might be left to guess when to expect content from you. Before long, they will run out of patience.

One big factor that might affect how consistent you are on threads is whether you have created a schedule or not. Just like every other business, a schedule helps you to have time for publishing threads and when you get involved in engagement. A schedule gives you a workflow structure that ensures you stay organized and predictable. The absence of a micro-blogging schedule will be noticed once you are not regular or only appear hear or there in an unpredictable manner. So if you really wish to go far in microblogging on threads, avoid being inconsistent.

  • Minimize grammatical errors: The final thing I want to mention here is the quality of your presentation. Narrowing it down, you want to avoid making many errors in sentence structure and grammar. Even if your first language is not English, you can still put out content that obeys the basic rules of grammar.

There are many tools free and online that could help you proofread your content - your threads before publishing them. One of it is gramarly. There are a lot others too. Just do a google search and you will have many options to choose from.

If your threads are always full of errors in grammar or sentence structure, it will make your work appear less professional and some of your followers might not want it that way. Assuming you are not using any tools to check your work, it does not take much time to double-check manually for errors. Read your threads at least twice before you publish them. If they are error free, then your audience would like to keep coming back.

Conclusion

Micro-blogging on threads is fun and easy, but you still have to do the right things to become a success story. These mistakes above and others not mentioned here should be dearly avoided. If you do, you find yourself doing really way as a micro-blogger on threads
