Cracking X Episode 5 The Fightback starts now

Hello Hello Hivians and Threaders and Xters!

It is Thursday and that means that it is time for one of my designated X reports.

X as in what was formerly known as Twitter.

Web2 they aren't your accounts, when will people learn!

I was watching a YouTuber I enjoy watching today. He is from Yorkshire in the North of England which means they tend to speak how it is. Bottom line was he has been fcuced by YouTube. He has decent sized channel and gets about 175 new subscribers per day, now down to 7.

He ran a giveway for an e-bike and then he was reported, so through no fault of his own had his account fagged by YouTube.

Every week I bring a tale about Web2 and how they are not our accounts. I did not mean to do this but heyho that's life!

Fluff Web2 say no more, you want your own account then get on Web3!

I can still see a concerted effort from so many people getting the Hive name known on X and other web2 media. A big pat on your back if you are one of those people.

IT IS WORKING .... We are onboarding influencers and more users, that is a fluffing fact.

You would have perhaps guessed by the title that this post is about X (formerly Twitter).

This is the fifth episode that I have been showing my stats. I shall be reporting my findings and progress.

Talking of Episode time to shill my podcast....

Did you know I am running a podcast for #napodpomo?

Check out the latest episode of Transatlantic Accents:A Comedy Podcast here just click this link
and you should be good to go to that hilarious episode!

Yes it really was a laughing episode as @lhes sent an advert that Mrs T could not stop laughing at!

My goals for X are twofold:

1 Become monetized
2 Spread the Hive word and onboard users

Following 1671 | 1667 | 1716 | 1721 | this ep 1735
Followers 2687 | 2715 | 2740 | 2747 | this ep 2757

So I have been slowly removing users I have been following that either don't engage or we are not aligned.

My followers count increased by 10, actually it was more, because X are still suspending accounts left right and centre, and those get removed from your following.

To become monetized you need to do these 3 things:

✔️ Subscribe to Premium or Verified Organizations

❌ Have at least 5M impressions on your posts within the last 3 months

✔️ 500 followers

I have the easy bits sorted lol!

My analytics for the last 7 days

and the week before that...

You can see all the red lol Yes my analytics are way way down and this has a knock on effect from a month ago.

My impressions NOSEDIVED...
There are over 30 ways your account can be limited, I have fallen foulof one of the, although I am not sure of which.

Let's have a look at my impressions...

Note it says 5M impressions on your posts within the last 3 months

My last three months' chart for impressions....

So I have 2.2 million (last week was 2.2 million) impressions for the last three months. Oh fluff me, I am well short lol

My reach has gone, the impressions from my comments have gone,

I have had my account limited in someway, I don't know how or what but NO Surrender ....

I am determined to persevere... FOR THE MOMENT

I had a purple patch where I could comment and get thousands of impressions, that is keeping my totals up. But I am running out of weeks if I want to monetised.

Chasing impressions on X is not my idea of fun, it is time consuming and taking me away from Hive.

Finding a balance between X Hive and RL is quite complex at the moment.

In the meantime I shall be aiming to follow some X strategies we have devised with some other members of INLEO. Can people work as a team? We shall find out!

But if anyone wants to Team up to try and crack X please do let me know!

In the meantime have a great week until next Thursday!

All images are from my X account and ramblings are from me, the mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo unless otherwise stated.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO IT OFTEN

Haste Ye Back!
