Content creators place backlinks to their social media profiles and websites in a wide variety of places in their works. This helps you bring new and returning visitors to your owned content. If you are like me, you just took your Twitter profile URL for this (twitter.com/natterstefan) in my case) and linked it, for example in the footer of your newsletter.

So far so good, but did you know that you can go one step further and ask your readers to follow you almost immediately when they click on the link? Isn't that your actual goal and also the intent when they click on the link?

It is a simple change that needs to be done once and results in immediate benefits. I am sure you can benefit from this Growth Hack, that is why I want to share it with you.

Let's take a look at the following example. Do you spot the difference between this link to my Twitter profile and this one? If you clicked on the second link you saw a follow popup on Twitter. Cool, isn't it? If not, try it now.

What about YouTube? Which link do you like more: this link most people use or this one you going to use from now on?

How To Implement It For Your Site?

It is actually very simple. This is the link to use this Growth Hack:

  • https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=<username>

Simply replace username with your username and you are good to go. The link above looks like this:

  • https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=natterstefan

All you need to do now is updating all your links to your Twitter account on your website, Blog, YouTube channel, etc.!

How To Use This On YouTube?

It works similarly on YouTube. Instead of using

  • https://www.youtube.com/<channelId>

you should use this link

  • https://www.youtube.com/<channelId>?sub_confirmation=1.

The link above for my example looks like this:

  • https://www.youtube.com/natterstefan?sub_confirmation=1
