Follower numbers don't matter, especially nowadays on X/Twitter, where your followers aren't even shown your posts on their timeline, but I was closing in on 200,000 when Elon took over, and that was going to be a cool milestone for a numpty like me! 😁 Needless to say, Elon killed growth here, my account grew naturally over years, but it just flatlined once Elon made all the changes 'for the better'. 😒 A bigger problem is getting seen... most of my followers don't even see my posts anymore, unless they interact very often with them, or they've added me to a List so they don't miss my posts. 😔 I started my little business back in 2019, when my Twitter was booming... I used to get 15million views every month, and 3000 new followers a month! Now I get about a million views and maybe 30 new followers if I'm lucky. My content hasn't changed, I'm doing exactly what I was doing back then! I very consistently post 5 or 6 new bird photos every single day, and have done so for over 10 years! 😊 Let's just say there's no way I'd have had the confidence to start a new business if I was considering it now. Bird photography is very low in the algorithm ranking, unless it's AI generated crap! 🙄 I work so hard, it's constant, I rarely relax and I've suffered with my mental and physical health this year... I've even considered folding my business and giving up.. but I'm not a quitter! I have more calendars left unsold than any year previously. It's harder to predict how they will sell because it all depends on views from my social media followers, mainly here on X/Twitter, so the new algorithm makes it very difficult for people with small businesses that rely on social media to survive. 😔 I know I occasionally have a little moan about where this place is at, and I'm aware that nothing will change, I'll keep harking for the golden days of Twitter, but it is what it is. Regarding the algorithm... commenting regularly apparently keeps accounts in your feed, as do all the other interactions such as liking and reposting and bookmarking. 🙏 Anyway... if you're curious and don't yet follow me, please consider it if you like genuine bird photography, no AI at all... and open, honest, and occasionally humorous discourse. 😊❤️

It is clear that @elonmusk needs to stay out of British politics. RT if you agree.

🚨NEW: JD Vance has attacked former White House Press Secretary and journalist Jen Pskai, telling her to “eat shit” for being critical of the Trump Administration. RETWEET if you stand with @JrPsaki against Vance’s disgusting attack!

There are two types of people in the world. RT for on the side, LIKE for all over.

Hi everyone... boring tweet, but I haven't made a sale in over a week, the longest time since I started my little business over 6 years ago.. 😔 If you my bird photography and would like to own or gift someone my products, I'd be very grateful. ❤️ carlbovis.com/shop-3

All my loyal followers, please help! 🙏 This beautiful area of countryside is a haven for wildlife, with Barn Owls, Kingfishers, Otters and much more... but it's threatened with development. 😕 Watch the video... it's the kind of place I LOVE! Please share far & wide.. 🙏❤️🐦

June is so quiet in my shop. I went to post a handful of outstanding orders today & the post office girl said 'Hi Carl, where have you been? We thought you'd emigrated!' If you'd like some of my bird calendars, books, cards, prints etc, here's my shop; carlbovis.com/shop-3

I decided to give away one of my big canvases and a mounted print to try to encourage some sales as it's been very quiet in my shop... since I posted about the giveaway 11 days ago, I've only had 5 orders. 😔 Will be lucky to cover the cost of the canvas & shipping.. On the plus side, those treasured customers have an even greater chance of winning! 🐦❤️

Even if you're not able to buy from me, just retweeting my sales tweets really helps my little business. 🙏😊 A big thank you goes to @rachelgoes262.. her retweet got me a sale! 😀🐦❤️ Love this kind of feedback, it does make a difference! 🤩

Here's a thread of my exclusive 11oz tea/coffee mugs for sale! 😀 This one is 'Goldfinch in cherry Blossom' 🐦 You can buy it here; carlbovis.com/coffee-mugs 🐦

As most of you know, I've been away for a week on holiday in Cornwall. During that time I didn't tweet about my products as I wasn't home to fulfil orders. As a result, I only made one sale last week, a mousemat. So please understand why I have to regularly post sales tweets along with my many bird photos... it's essential, without those tweets my little business is dead. It no longer exists. The new financial year started a week ago. So far I've taken £15.75 in sales (a tiny fraction of which is profit) If you'd like to support me, please consider buying a bird goodie from my shop (customers who already have, love them!❤️) You can also become a Member on my Ko-fi, if you'd like to 'buy me a monthly' coffee. My members really help alleviate some of the stress of trying to keep a little business going!) Links in the next tweet in the thread ⬇️ Thank you everyone. 🤗🐦❤️

Please message me if you'd like a particular photo of mine as a 10x8 signed and mounted print! 🙏😊 carlbovis.com/10x8-prints 🐦❤️ Also let me know if you'd like me to add a particular photo to my digital download collection. ko-fi.com/carlbovis/shop 🐦❤️
