If you too want to be able to connect with your audience in such an unorthodox way, here are some of the most effective ways that she uses:

Live Streaming

Short Video Blogs

Vlogging has been a growing trend in the blogging community and has also started to gain a lot of traction in Bollywood too.

Shout-outs on Twitter

One of the best and most effective ways to reach out to your audience is by doing shout-outs on Twitter. In fact, most Bollywood celebrities have been known to do shout-outs on Twitter to build a strong online community. A shout-out is when you take to Twitter, and mention another brand or person in your tweet, without any expectations in return. You can do shout-outs on Twitter in the form of reposting other’s tweets on your timeline, or by simply mentioning another brand in your tweet. Doing shout-outs on Twitter is a great way to build up your online following, as well as ensure that your name and brand are out there in the Twittersphere. It’s also a great way to interact with your followers, as you can mention them in your tweets as well.

Events and Meet and Greets

Another effective way that Bollywood celebrities have been known to use is by holding events to connect with their audience. Events can be held in venues such as malls and offices, where you can invite your followers to attend and participate in activities related to your brand. You can also hold meet and greets where your followers can come and meet you in person, which is a great way to connect with them. Holding events and meet and greets is not only a great way to connect with your followers but also a great marketing strategy. It’s a very cost-effective way to market your brand and product, and an excellent way to build a strong online following. If you too want to start holding events and meet and greets to connect with your audience, it’s important to have a well-thought out plan in place.

Bollywood celebrities have been known to use mergers and acquisitions to connect with their audience, by mentioning another brand in their posts and tagging them. It’s a very effective way of building your brand’s online following, as well as ensuring that your name and brand are out there in the Twittersphere.
