So, you have a twitter and you see your FAVORITE celebrity is online. How awesome would it be to get a response back from them?!?!
Hold your horses there, Sparky. You might have people who follow you. They might not want to see you tweet one post to @victoriajustice a whole bunch of times. I know that's one of my biggest Twitter pet peeves. How do you do it then? Follow these easy steps:
1. Be genuine.
I think it's really irritating when people try to get something from every celebrity they follow all at once. Spread out your love because otherwise it just looks like you want someone - ANYONE - famous to respond to you, and that makes it less appealing to actually do so.
2. Be Patient
Do you know how many tweets these celebrities get? Hundreds... Thousands.... It's crazy. Believe me, I know in Victoria's case she really does read all of them and she really does love and appreciate every single one of you. But think for a moment about how much time she would have to spend answering every single one of those questions. We'd never see any new Victorious episodes or hear new music or anything from Vic. Personally - I'd rather she gets her solo CD out. Bottom line. You might have to try more than once to get a response - but DON'T SPAM (more on that later)
3. Don't expect anything back
Again... they get so many tweets... they might not see your tweet. Also, not every celebrity follows fans. Check out their list, and if they are following a lot of fans... then you can try and ask. If they're like Victoria and only follow friends... they're probably not gonna follow you - just because they know they can't follow everyone and they want to be fair.
You say: Kiwi.. she's following you on @vjusticeforever. Explain that one!
I've know Victoria for 5 years now. I guess I'm the one exception. That does mean that you should follow me and if I see something that I think Victoria should really see... I'll retweet it. That's all I can really do though. I can't get her to respond or follow you. Please stop asking, because... I just can't do that.
4. Make something for them
Make a cool picture, a video, something! Just be sure to actually put your time and effort in to it. It means so much to Victoria when you guys do that and she likes to retweet and check them out. Plus, she's more likely to respond to it. Case in point - @vj_League's VicRoll videos.
5. DO NOT SPAM!
This is from all the people who follow you on twitter who aren't famous. When you send something for a celebrity to see... that's cool. Chances are I'm gonna check it out to. When you send that same tweet once every second for a grand total of 50+ times... I'm gonna unfollow you. Chances are, other people will to. If you must retweet the same thing, do it once a minute and please don't do it for more than 10 times. I want to see all the other tweets in my box.
6. Be a Good Fan
This is the easiest step of all. Be supportive of that celebrity. Don't be upset if they don't tweet back to you. Be greatful when the do. Don't emotionally blackmail them saying if they "really care about their fans, they'll respond or follow you", because that won't work and it makes the other fans angry. Comment on their tweets, links, pages, press, what have you. Retweet their news and updates. They do see that stuff and they really do appreciate that - and they'll be more likely to respond back when you tweet to them. It's a lot like being a good friend - if you treat them as a friend... they'll respond as such.
I hope this made sense to you guys. I hope after you read this, you'll join this board by clicking Here and then leaving a comment once we approve your memebership (we do this so we don't get spambots) Let me know if I missed any thing that has worked for you guys =)
And, thanks so much for following me at @vjusticeforever AND thanks so much for supporting Victoria. I really do think she has some of the craziest, coolest, amazing fans anyone has ever had =)
