Managing Twitter Brand Deals

For Twitter Creators:

Visual pipeline shows deal stages (pitch, negotiation, live, paid)

Deadline reminders for posting schedules

Store rate cards and media kits

Contact management for brand relationships

The Twitter Problem: A brand DMs you, emails follow, and suddenly you're juggling 6 deals across DMs, email, and your memory. Tasuki centralizes everything so nothing falls through.

Why Deal Management Matters

Twitter sponsorships often involve:

Quick turnarounds (24-48 hours)

Multiple tweet series

Specific timing (during events, product launches)

Without a system, you'll miss deadlines and forget follow-ups.

Common Mistakes

1. Automating Too Much

Twitter penalizes automation. Schedule content, but don't automate engagement.

2. Ignoring Analytics

Your best-performing tweets show what your audience wants. Double down on what works.

3. No System for Brand Deals

Once you grow, brands reach out constantly. Track everything with Tasuki or lose deals.

4. Thread Overload

Not every idea needs to be a thread. Sometimes a single tweet is more powerful.

5. Ignoring DMs

Many opportunities come through DMs. Check them regularly.
