Going live

Understanding the algorithms

As twitter likes to text, so utilize the idea of great conversation and interactivity, liking, sharing, and retweeting. So to use the concept and persuade people to do the same. Keep in mind that if you promote something on Twitter, it should be in the text.

Like most apps, Twitter will prefer you to stay on the app and share links related to Twitter, not another app; otherwise, Twitter will lower your interactivity level if you share links.

When we talk about Instagram, there is no need to share any content outside Instagram in the link other than the link in the bio. Instagram likes video content. It’s a law of directional conversation; tell people what you post with a link in your bio. But if you have 10,000 followers within the stories, you use a swipe of function and get people to swipe up on your stories.

For helping the algorithm, you can utilize Instagram’s various features and functions, like reels, IGTV, lives, stories, tags, locations, stickers, questions, polls, etc. Anything that can allow people to stay on your story for longer. It’s about watching time and retention—Post good, interactive, engaging content that would help you win this game. 

It is necessary to create a Facebook group and bring together people of your interest to share the information you want to promote but don’t overuse it; otherwise, people would be fed and left. The critical thing is to post natively on Facebook, keep up the discussions, post photos and videos directly on Facebook.
