We DJ Khalifa make sure you do follow him on Twitter everywhere. His playlist today has been so lit. So, I know some of you are like, what? You just want to congratulate the DJ. Well, I'm your part of congratulations, Zako. So, let's have a conversation about Twitter. Yes. Okay. There's one big question that most people don't really understand when it comes to social media. Why do people feel they need to use different names or to have a different persona on social media? That's a good question because actually, his name is Evans, but you heard his Paparazzi. Paparazzi. Okay. So, first, you're my same, your hype. Oh, okay. The second thing, like, Evans took away. So, Twitter doesn't allow you to have the same names, user names. So, if you have any idea, let's book a creative group after, I'll give you a link. Thank you. Okay. So, what's your name? I'm Zako. I'm Zako. I'm Zako. I'm Zako. I'm Zako. I'm Zako. So, you have to have your name? Yeah.ging, but mostly about that hype and the brand. Because everyone sees Evans. Evans has so many in the world. So, everyone starts thinking we'reiring eternal's social media influencer. Because everybody is using social media. That's true. Yeah, so Paparazzi. They want unique names. Yeah, people want to see Paparazzi. Okay. Okay. I mean media. media PR and the stuff that he is drinking up or Philip continue why do you use your real names yourself you want to be known as yourself I use my real name because I love it I love it and then I don't want for example any stock is if I'm gonna be fine. Yeah, for easy identity. Yeah. Just want to know you as yourself. Yeah, you are self. Okay. At least you're an open book. Well, also I do understand it's also because of branding like he said and also they need to hype yourself, you know, sometimes when you just have a name like he said, you know, there's no flair to it, but when you have a flaring name, well then, but also have been known to create some very, very vulgar titles as well for the Twitter. Yeah, so let's go to the hashtag, the issue of the hashtags when it comes to Twitter, Twitter is actually at the top and it comes to social media because not it doesn't allow you to type a whole paragraph, by the way, it limits you to a certain so it's 140 characters for sure. Yeah, 140 characters. So whatever stories you want to tell people you have to summarize it in 140 characters as a social media influencer. What was the importance of Twitter doing that? Do you feel like it has any impact? I think yeah, it has an impact On Facebook, Twitter and Facebook, Twitter at first you call it intellectuals. You call it intellectuals? Yeah, at first. Okay. Like, make sure you communicate with that 140 characters. How will you put your point across with that 140 characters? So that you can come in the issue of hashtags. So being an influencer, you're a creative. So just like an artist, you should be creative. So one of your points in Africa, you have like a whole paragraph, a whole page. Now you have only 140, a place where there are 140 characters. So in a video, you communicate visually, you can share 140 characters. So using hashtags, it's very simple. I have a website using SEO, optimizing. So hashtags are very simple when someone search the hashtag and find all your details. So for example, now your hashtag doesn't make a catch. For example, you're running a campaign maybe on an event that you can do this weekend. So you have a whole thing to say, maybe the artist, the name, the entrance. So you're choosing a creative hashtag. You're determined of using that on 40 characters. Because I've always mentioned everything. So, okay to me, hashtag. Some of your points in Africa, you want to be, you want that hashtag when you communicate the other characters. So maybe you have an event, an event, an event, a sport event. It summarizes all the things you can do. So I'm going to click on that hashtag and I'll find everything. Okay, I find it so interesting. Because I think, I can't walk by there. I can't walk by there. Because I talk a lot and I have a lot of words. I'm what they call a very wordy person. So you want 40 characters. What if I have something so important to share? But I understand the reason why it's also to keep things limited. Also to keep things different from, it can't be like Facebook or other places where you just write a whole monologue, you know. It still works because I've become a lot of words. I want to find a thread. Like I want to get one. Oh, yeah. I want to be creative. I want to have the first tweet. I have my titles. I want to get onto the point. I want to have a tweet. Come out with a story. I went to the market. And then you know there's something that happened. That was so interesting. I don't have any more tweets. So the moment you click on that first tweet, it automatically leaves you with the second tweet. So as much as we are getting to the point, at least now you can be able to set a thread courtesy of the hashtag. Let me find out from Philip today. You know, your Twitter handle to make money. Do you find that 140 characters is enough for you to get to the point? I tried because sometimes you can tweet, for example, like 140 or more, but you can put them on separate. Then you post at once. You post at once. At the same time. Okay. You're saying that please repeat that. For example, when you post a tweet, then you can post it at the same time. For example, when you tweet 10, then you post at once. That's how it works. We'll do that. I have a question for you as a social media influencer because I hear that specifically you, Philip, that you work on a daily basis is to help people gain followers. I'm sure Sayim Askew, whoever is watching, I'm sure right now, the interest has peaked. I'm Kelly. This is good for you. Because even me, I need that assistance. I just wanted to know what you're doing exactly. How many followers do you have on Twitter? I have been on Twitter since 2015. Some producers have joined me on Twitter. I joined them on Twitter. Then I posted on Kanzi. Then I started working on Kanzi. From Kanzi to Kanzi, you started working on Kanzi. I started working on Kanzi online. Do you have followers for Kanzi? Followers are the ones I work with. Do you have a workout? Followers. I started working on Kanzi. Then I started working on Kanzi on Twitter. Then I started working on Kanzi. Then I started working on Kanzi. Then I started working on Kanzi online. I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. Then I started working on Kanzi online. followers of his followers, my followers, if you're all treating the same thing, chances are all of us will get a new follower somewhere. So interesting. Now, when we've just been talking to Philip over here, I've noticed he's a bit of an introvert, but on social media, people are extroverts, you know, I'd like to understand the personality dynamics. I don't know if you think what I'm thinking, but me, the people I've met, they're very vocal on Twitter. Philip, go to I-2-5-4, go and look for Philip, very talkative young man on social media. So we'd like to understand what is it about Twitter? What do you think? What is it about Twitter that makes even introverts extroverts? I don't know. Yeah, adding on what Philip said, like, you can have that group. Me, I don't believe on, I don't subscribe to that thing of like, having followers, mutu kutafte followers. You as a media personality. You don't believe in that? You don't. You as a media personality. Followers are not supposed to be later. Yeah, exactly. You don't believe in the work that Philip is doing. Not exactly. Oh, let me not create a beef. Let me not create beef. Sorry, sorry. So you as a media personality. So Twitter, it's relevant to you. Those are your fans. Those are your followers. And your audience to you. They are following you because of entertainment, because because of news. But so, follow for follow. Cristian Dela. Exactly. Yeah, by the way. No shit, no shit. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. There are so many influencers. Like, they are doing follow for follow, two days, three days, or 10k followers, they don't want to get influencers. That's not being an influential person. Influentials come from the word influential. That's not being an influential person. But for now, follow me, I follow you, then follow me and I will follow. I get. So, who wants to follow ratio? Like, as for me, I have 16k followers, or 1k following. Like, they are following me for what I'm tweeting. They are not following me because I'm following them. Yeah. Exactly. See, it's not a follow for follow kind of situation. Yeah. Plus, I kind of feel like if you have 10,000 followers and you're following 10,000 people, then it hasn't really made any impact. So, you should be influential. That's the main thing. So, you know, if you follow us, you can have 1 million followers. But that tweet in a pattern, maybe one like, as guy, as you know, it makes sense. If you want 1 million followers, then you take 1 like, 2 replies. That's true. It looks ridiculous. No one is retweeting. Yeah. He go to Apple. Apple. I will delete that account and just touch my own. How can I have 10,000 followers and 10 likes on my picture? Wow. You know. Wow. That happens. Then we need to talk about that when it comes to feelings. Like, these things hurt our feelings. So, you know, why do we involve? Why do you also emotionally invest? What are you doing? Some social media. So, could those influencers, they will help you handle your account? Handle your account. Handle your account. Handle your handle. Yeah. Not any. 80 followers. Come on, take our followers. Just wage if you can't help and extend it. Follow, follow. Follow, follow. Yeah. Exactly. But as a brand, you should love and appreciate corporate size and brands and appreciate social media. They are hiring social media administrators and influencers. So, people think, we tend to think, like, since I'm on Twitter, since I'm on Facebook, I can be an I'm an influencer and I can buy social media influencers, the strategies and so on. But there are so many things in social media that people are watching. You are just a social media user. You're not an influencer. I like that. You're a user. You're not an influencer. All difference there. Yeah. Okay. But you haven't talked about the issue of the introverts and the extroverts. The introverts on social media who are extroverts on the outside and then those who are introverts on the outside extroverts on social media. Where do those dynamics come from? But there are so many people who are on social media, vocal social media who are on social media. In real life, people are all the same. In real life, when you're with your mother, how do you know it? Keyboard warriors. Because PU media is just good. It's your space. You can say energy. I find it very peculiar, though, because even when it comes to bully, half of the people who are bullying you, like I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday and there was a YouTube video I had doing a particular interview and somebody commented some very vulgar things and I was like see do I respond or what do I do but I commented under the video and I was so mad and I was like see as you cook water you know those ones for I am not keeping quiet you want to think I'm coming with you let's go so now I realize later that this person my friend was like is writing that comment from the deep deep slam then somebody who is competing somebody who has nothing just a completely different persona on social media so it's interesting when I see how people are very different on social media so let's talk about bullying and then and being able to fake it recently we had the Kobikihara challenge I don't know people it was it was as much as it was entertaining it was there was a lot of bullying inside it as well so let me understand from the social media guys what do you handle and how do you go about this bullying and what do you think Twitter should change when it comes to that in as much as bullying social media it's very unfortunate because of social media there are so many positive but but it can appear negative which is the main thing I just log out does he my data like I have my I have my own life this just show media it's never serious but so you take bullying come on yeah bullying if you come and I'm depressed but not when you see strong those bullying and what I think social media administrators and managers yeah I've been on social media I've been on Twitter for like for the last seven years so now I do I know them I know those bullies like they're just passing their first session on social media but they have nothing constructive to do so the moment when I react to the more the moment like we're emotionally they are winning but you know make happy like you let you know that you are 8-5-4 I'm jammed but now let me ask when it comes to she said the bullying this thing we call trolls where they don't mean what they're saying that they're just there to say that for a reason what's the reason because I hear most of the time they don't even believe in what they're saying and it's nothing negative it's you know something really positive you know and that time it doesn't mean what he's saying what is the use of trolls now I say when you like the bullies what's the use of them what are they getting out of this because some of the time they are bullies for real I know some of the time they're really not bullies one a fake to is it true others want to fit in on the conversation but I don't want to control controversy as I started blogging I said my blog I'm a fan of it they want controversy getting that controversy they should or controversy in Kenya and one got negative things one say my baby there's something good someone I'm sure I'm sure find mistake on it I love gonna people are passing me frustration they don't know you personally they don't know if it's true what you're posting but they just what I'm across out you're posting so they just passing the frustrations in life maybe they're not that successful as you so when I feel they don't know you personally the way they don't know you personally sometimes even they could be someone who is very you know comfortable in life but just for no reason you know that people in life who work around with a permanent you know it's just permanently there so in case in cases like that you just let it go Twitter right a fast social media Twitter that which eat a pass very fast see social see Facebook at the back of what a memory is ten years to come Twitter to come like my post size oh another person is posting within seconds just let it go damage control damage control you don't have to keep responding all the time I guess because these things are passing anyway fleeting and keep changing anyway but wait just hold on you guys I think it's about time we take a small commercial break will be right back
