These are the key takeaways from the video:

  • In this interview, Calvin emphasizes the importance of “being nice to your followers” by reciprocating value on social media. He says it’s important to help your followers and to share important and valuable content without expecting anything – in return and you will build a loyal fan base that trusts your brand.
  • Calvin says that the best way to get started with content creation and building a following is to choose your niche carefully and to post content that is of interest to your followers.
  • Calvin explains that in order to gain followers on Twitter, or any other social media platform for that matter, you have to communicate with your followers, answer their questions, respond to their positive/negative feedback and make sure that they can trust the information that you’re providing them.
  • Calvin points out that humor and sarcasm (to a certain extent) usually generate a lot of responses from the audience and helps to keep them interested and entertained.
  • Negativity is something Calvin advises avoiding on social media. Even when you get negative comments, you should try to respond with positive comments and make followers understand that you care and that their feedback is important to you.
