2. Creating the Pinned Tweet

Your pinned tweet should contain important information. For example, you could share links to your social media channels like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and your podcast. Make sure to enter the links correctly so that users can click on them directly.

3. Pinning the Tweet

After creating your tweet, add it to your profile by clicking on the three dots next to the tweet and selecting the "Pin to your profile" option. Your followers will now always see the pinned tweet at the top, increasing the likelihood of clicks.

4. Regularly Re-Tweeting for Visibility

Another strategy is to regularly tweet the content of your pinned tweet. You can copy the text of your tweets and schedule them to be re-tweeted at specific times during the month to ensure your followers do not overlook the information.

5. Planning Tweets

On Twitter, you can plan tweets in the long term. This means you can create and schedule your tweets months in advance to be automatically posted at set times. For example, plan your tweets always on the 1st of the month.

6. Monitoring and Updating Links

Make sure the links in your tweets remain up to date. For example, if you change the name of your YouTube channel, you will need to update your previously scheduled tweets to ensure the links still work. Regularly check that all links are correct to ensure access to your content.
