# Steemit Twitter Numbers Going Back to October 2016. #

The Steemit Twitter account has been growing steadily since October. For those that don't understand the importance of Twitter it is our gateway to the mainstream and crypto world. I used to wonder how Crypto Currencies like Ethereum and DogeCoin did so well. It was because they utilized marketing across social media to promote their tokens.

As a community we have something that none of the other Crypto Currency tokens have. We have a social media website that has many active writers. Some of these users write about Crypto Currencies and other topics that help us promote blockchain social media. This is an opportunity for us as a community to bring [Steemit.com](https://steemit.com) to the masses.

# Twitter Numbers Over the Last 30 Days Explained. #

## Tweets- 

On January 16th we had a discussion with the team decided that we would no longer use RSS feeds to Tweet out content. Now every piece of content is hand curated with the help of other users. We also ReTweet some Tweets from other users who Tweet Steemit content and mention @Steemit.

Due to hand curating all Tweets now, the amount of Tweets has dropped by approximately 50%. We have chosen to go with quality over quantity.

## Tweet Impressions-

This number is partially based on two weeks of RSS feed Tweets. Our impressions will drop in February due to fewer Tweets. So far the Tweet impressions have dropped about 40% since changing over to hand curation.

## Profile Visits-

This means the amount of people who click on the profile for the Steemit Twitter account. This is great news as people are showing interest in what we are doing.

## Mentions-

This month we and the team have begun an initiative to get the Steemit.com community to utilize social media channels to promote their content. Twitter is a top priority! This is probably the big reason why the mentions are up 50% this month.

## Followers-

Every day we follow 100-120 new people. If those users do not follow @Steemit back within a few days we will then unfollow them. We have been utilizing this technique since September while averaging 1,000 new followers per month.
