So much of the word here – really?? #twittersmarter— Manav Lalotra (@manavlalotra) December 28, 2017
A1 Twitter has immediate and widespread reach. You can have as much of an impact worldwide as you can locally. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) December 28, 2017
A1: Twitter is my clubhouse leader when it comes to engagement. Hashtags are the thread that connects people on this platform. Through them, you can understand who the people are that are using them and the associated convos to your advantage. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) 28 December 2017
Q2: What are your top tips for mixing up content shared on Twitter to help you create an authentic feed? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/yoaTLH6ZMm
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A2: Like I mentioned earlier #Twitter has naturally fast pace, which allows you to share a little updates more often than what you can get away with on other #socialmedia networks. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A2: I suggest mixing some original tweets, re-tweet relevant content from other accounts, and of course take advantage of Twitter’s features like the built in .GIF’s, lists, polls and live video. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A2: Along with all the different content types I highly recommend using plain text tweets to show a little personality. You can use the Quote Tweet option to add more of your own insight into retweets. Tell your audience what you found interesting #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A2: Twitter is super dynamic and with so many built in tools it's simple to switch from a plain text post, to video, to a poll! #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A2: I have a variety of tweets that I post into my feed. I like mixing it up. I post videos, motivational quotes, blog posts, quotes from people I interview for my #TwitterSmarter podcast, Twitter tips and articles. I could go on and on. I like having variety! https://t.co/zgQakJuxBi
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A2 You can mix content from yourself as well as from others. Remember attribution. The main thing is to remember to deliver consistent messages that help your audience. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) December 28, 2017
A2: Don't just share what everyone else is sharing, tweet what's important and interesting to YOU!
The fastest way to build your voice is to use your own.#TwitterSmarter— Jeff Higgins Hid It In The Basement Of The Alamo (@ItsJeffHiggins) December 28, 2017
A2 I use a simple blend of:
-Create value with mini blogs (majority)
-Build a connection with personal tweets/stories
-Share BIGGER content that digs into a topic
-Promote your business (maybe 1 out of 10 posts)#TwitterSmarter— Nicholas Thickett (@NThickett) December 28, 2017
A2: Does the content you share align with the content you provide? Is there a way that you can add your voice to content you're sharing? #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) December 28, 2017
A2: be you. stick to your expertise. don't copy others just because they're successfull #twittersmarter

A2: Be REAL. For me, I can't just spit out #socialmedia #content 24-7! I like my audience to know my other interests too, like #football ?, running & #wine ?! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/stuYviaLw5
— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) December 28, 2017
A2 listen a LOT. Delve deep into conversations to find out what people are looking to find out or don’t understand, what they click on, how they like to be reached #TwitterSmarter
— LUCYrk (@LUCYrk78) December 28, 2017
A2. Be true to your brand. Be authentic. Personalize the content and use visual aids such as Live Video, GIFs. Stand out by being you. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/2g1ESPSXQ4
— Melissa A ? (@mz_rocko) 28 December 2017
A2: Find a balance of fun items, motivational quotes, video, and larger conversations to be part of. Brands who only push their info do themselves no favors. #Twittersmarter
— Jennifer Bulandr ?Social Media Consultant (@JenniferBulandr) 28 December 2017
Q3: Why is it important for any business to stay on top of their Twitter analytics? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/L4eKFJvHsq
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A3: Analytics are life! It’s important for any business to stay on top of their #Twitteranalytics because the info will only help you improve your current efforts. You’ll be able to see what tweets did the best, what accounts are interacting with yours & more. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A3: Take the time to record your analytics and dive into the data! Pay attention to engagement rates, number of retweets, and the overall picture. I'm down this month! So now I'll dig to get better for next month #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/htQO7Pd8ib
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A3: Your analytics tells you what's working and what's not. It's important to view them on a regular basis. At least monthly, if not more. You can access your Twitter Analytics at https://t.co/8WRP5jPRDG. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/tmWhkU2pcz
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
a3| Analytics are modern day Marketing Research for free essentially. #twittersmarter
— Okema/Kemee S. (@OkemaForever) December 28, 2017
A3: Just like any platform, Twitter analytics act as your barometer. They show you what worked and what didn't so you can adjust your strategy moving forward. #TwitterSmarter
— Flying Cork (@flyingcorkpgh) 28 December 2017
A3 twitter listening brings you feedback, insights and audience pain points. Twitter analytics brings you trends. #TwitterSmarter
— Alberto Gómez (@alberMoire) 28 December 2017
A3: Analytics put into context the type of content that you're creating. When you see in numbers what's working and what's not, you can adjust accordingly. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) 28 December 2017
A3: Staying updated on your analytics allows you to see what's working and what's not. You can then tweak your strategy accordingly. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) December 28, 2017
A3: You should be aligning social media analytics to your KPIs across all campaigns and platforms. Monitoring these lets you know when and how you should be making adjustments. #TwitterSmarter
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) 28 December 2017
A3: Analyzing every single tweet and how it performed is overkill. It's like the stock market: look at the trend of a stock and the underlying financials, not performance on one day. Just because a tweet didn't perform doesn't mean it was a "bad" tweet. #TwitterSmarter
— Brian Anderson (@BrianAndersonPR) 28 December 2017
A3.

A3: If you're investing in a social media platform, you need to be sure it's working! Twitter Analytics can show you info about your engagement/reach/follower growth. Also look at Google Analytics to see if Twitter traffic is going to your site and converting. #twittersmarter
— Laura Ferruggia ? ? Marketing by laura.lol (@lauregg) 28 December 2017
A3 Often what we think is working can be disproven or conversely proven by the reality of analytics. #twittersmarter

Q4: How can using the Twitter Events feature help you target the specific audience and conversations? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/ZIBecC87bf
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A4: The #TwitterEvents feature is great for anyone looking for big trending topics on Twitter. Twitter Events gives a great overview of upcoming events like Valentines Day, New York Fashion Week and even conferences like the World Economic Forum. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A4: Twitter Events can help you fill in gaps in content, and keep a step ahead of what topics people like to tweet about. If you see a Twitter Event topic that makes sense to create a campaign around you start one that targets this specific audience in a click #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/DfD7PTn4kZ
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A4: The Twitter Events dashboard gives you stats about the event and breaks down the audience. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A4: To access #TwitterEvents, in the pull-down menu go to Twitter Ads > Analytics > Events. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/SI1fIP00Y3
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A4 You can attend a conference from your office desk by following the official hashtag. #twittersmarter
— Chaim Shapiro // Help you MAXIMIZE LinkedIn! (@ChaimShapiro) December 28, 2017
A4: Again, it's about keeping your brand in the moment. Know what events are trending and where geographically the interest is gives you context regarding the topics so that you can engage more effectively. #TwitterSmarter
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) 28 December 2017
A4 It allows you to find people who are tweeting about a certain topic. This allows you to find the right people for your event. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Qlcr9gyfTt
— Tri-County Young Professionals Network (@tricountyypn) December 28, 2017
A4. Twitter is about the conversation and Twitter Events allows you to stay current and topical and join in the conversation that’s already happening. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/OYlVM4utlq
— Ysmay ? Business Strategist (@YsmayWalsh) December 28, 2017
A4. I usually tie in a contest along with NewYork Fashion Week. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/JtX8qmAHAm
— Dr. Dorrie Cooper (@sittingpretty61) December 28, 2017
A4: Twitter Events I think can give you some direction on anticipating a conversation beforehand and create something engaging during that event. #TwitterSmarter
— Rahul (@SanelySocial) December 28, 2017
A4: It helps keep you engaged with your audience and shows you value in contributing to the topic at hand and shows your making the most of it. #TwitterSmarter
— Justin Bienvenue, #ModernDayPoe (@JustinBienvenue) 28 December 2017

Q5: What are the top hashtag mistakes and how can you avoid them? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/RriFGXHkci
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A5: There are so many out there but the top #hashtagmistake by far is using popular or general hashtags for the sake of popularity. It is far more effective to use targeted keyword hashtags to get into the newsfeed of your target audience. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
– Ask yourself how is my audience searching for this kind of content? #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) 28 December 2017
A5: The biggest hashtag mistake you can make is to not research hashtags or look for new ones. Researching hashtags is the best way to avoid mistakes. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A5: Take time to look at conversations your audience is having about your topic and use those keywords within your tweets to expose them to people who are using or searching for these hashtags #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) 28 December 2017
A5: This biggest mistake is jumping onto a trending hashtag and tweeting something that has nothing to do with it in an effort to get seen. Don't do that! Always be relevant. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/nit39Lq25C
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
a5| Overkill – actually you can still pull w/o hashtag unless you're trying to lump all tweets via hashtag. #twittersmarter
— Okema/Kemee S. (@OkemaForever) December 28, 2017
A5: Be sure you do not overload your tweets with hashtags. Choose the 1 or 2 most relevant. #twittersmarter
— Laura Denny (@ldcreativemedia) December 28, 2017
A5: #Using #Too #Many. Don't overdo it with hashtags. Make sure to include one or two that are relevant to the content that you're about to tweet. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) 28 December 2017
A5: I've read research that suggests you shouldn't use more than two or three hashtags per tweet. Any more than that and it tends to see less engagement. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) December 28, 2017
A5: You need to be strategic about what hashtags to use. Using too many in a tweet can be overbearing and make your content look spammy. Be genuine and smart about the one or two hashtags you use in your tweets. #TwitterSmarter
— Flying Cork (@flyingcorkpgh) 28 December 2017
A5 Using irrelevant hashtags because they are trending. Using too many hashtags so every other word is one. Make each hashtag relevant and stick to 2 or 3. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/qaobYeTjx1
— Louise Upchurch (@Loulou_Uberkirk) December 28, 2017
A5: The worst hashtag mistakes are (1) using hashtags that are too generic/vague/unclear and (2) using irrelevant hashtags that force an inauthentic connection between the brand and the topic. Avoid by maintaining focus. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/enqIMMY2r0
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) December 28, 2017
A5: Hashtag squatting, even seen here on this chat, is a non-starter, and a quick way to damage your reputation for no gain #twittersmarter
— YoPedro (@YoPedro) December 28, 2017
A5: One mistake that I see people and sometimes brands make with hashtags is running them together. They don't put a space so they have created a new nonexistant hashtag no one knows about.
Another is #using #too #many #Hashtags #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Re6cIsZlU7
— Jennifer Bulandr ?Social Media Consultant (@JenniferBulandr) 28 December 2017
A5: We can definitely be using more now because of #280characters but we can't overdo it. Also – be aware of misspelled hashtags! Sometimes those are trending more than the correct ones! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/1bc7GYoXYR
— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) December 28, 2017
A5:
1) Don’t hashtag random words in your tweets.
2) Make sure that your hashtag is spelled properly! Even trending hashtags can be incorrect sometimes.
3) Limit your tweets to one or two relevant hashtags! #TwitterSmarter— Keiana Holleman ✍? (@bossgalkiki) December 28, 2017
Q6: What are some simple ways to improve the performance of your tweets? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/WXeHH63E8c
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A6: To start improving your tweets I suggest really getting in the conversations your target audience is having in order to use hashtags that will end up in their newsfeeds #TwitterSmarter.
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A6: Use hashtags that are relevant to your business or piece of content in your tweets to help your tweets rank higher in search results. Stick to 1-2 hashtags per tweet. Try sprinkling them seamlessly into your messaging. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A6: Try varying visual content: Photos, Videos, .GIFs. Twitter has also added a ton of built in .GIFs for your convenience. Click the little "GIF" box under the tweet composition box and reveal .gifs broken down by category, or you can search for the perfect one. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A6: Knowing when to tweet like with any social network can be key to getting more reach and visibility. I always like to test times, especially when working with a global company. Otherwise use tools like Tweriod to pinpoint the optimum time to tweet #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A6: Lastly, include calls to actions in your tweets with links and finally tweet your blog posts more than once. Switch up the visuals, messaging and time. Remember, Twitter is fast paced so sharing more than once is okay #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A6: Make your tweets stand out by using videos. I started #VideoReplyDay as a way to encourage people to take time to reply to some of their tweets with a video. Video is real, authentic and personal when you send it to someone. Try it! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/2m7Bkf3EvW
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A6. Be consistent in providing value in order to improve your tweets #twittersmarter
— Cheval John (@chevd80) 28 December 2017
A6: Get to know your audience. When are they online? What speaks to them? This info will help your overall performance. #twittersmarter
— Laura Denny (@ldcreativemedia) December 28, 2017
A6: Always add value. Even if you’re sharing someone else’s content, you can state what you took away from it or highlight a key point. #TwitterSmarter
— Laura Ferruggia ? ? Marketing by laura.lol (@lauregg) 28 December 2017
A6. Be real, be you, be engaging. Use images, video, gifs. Don’t be afraid to show some personality. Meet a need. Give, give, give. #twittersmarter https://t.co/l8g5c2RUN2
— Louise Upchurch (@Loulou_Uberkirk) December 28, 2017
A6 When possible, include visuals with tweets to help them stand out. If from another source, be sure to tag the originators of the content. They'll appreciate the favor and might add to the retweets. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) December 28, 2017
A6: Add an image to your tweet because this helps it stand out in a busy timeline.
Also, use hashtags that are relevant to your content and your audience. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) December 28, 2017
A6: make it relevant, timely, human and real. Use a gif. Add visual. -Bina #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/jHBgopFycQ
— T3 Custom (@T3Custom) December 28, 2017
A6 Try this formula:
-Earn their attention with a hook
-Educate them in a fun way
-End with a call to action (this boosts engagement)It's really helped my storytelling get traction!#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/s2N6aBHy1X

— Keiana Holleman ✍? (@bossgalkiki) December 28, 2017
Q7: What are some less known Twitter features that can help your profile stand out and increase your post reach organically? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/ETm4P5BES6
— Madalyn Sklar ? Speaker. Podcaster. Chat Host. (@MadalynSklar) December 28, 2017
A7: Video! Twitter videos and live videos are the best ways to organically gain more reach. It might not be a less known feature but it’s certainly under used. We’re seeing that videos across all platforms are gaining the most reach. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A7: Another Twitter feature which you use beautifully @MadalynSklar is Twitter Moments. Twitter moments can be a fantastic way to create recap posts, highlight products, or even tell a story. Each moment has its own link, so it can be easy to embed on blog posts. #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017
A7: Similar to moments, one last little known feature is Collections. Like moments you can create a tweet collection via Tweetdeck and create a pretty mosiac of tweets #TwitterSmarter
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) December 28, 2017

— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) December 28, 2017
A7: Location can be useful, especially if you're at a landmark that gets a lot of traffic. #TwitterSmarter
— Brian Anderson (@BrianAndersonPR) 28 December 2017
A7: Threading your own tweets to tell a story. If it's too important/entertaining to condense, plan out a thread that will highlight and honor the message. #TwitterSmarter
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) 28 December 2017
A7: You can use and search for emojis in a profile to create a genuine impression and tell your story. Also use specific hashtags to your brand/audience. #TwitterSmarter
— Magdalena Schürmann (@MagdalenaSchrma) 28 December 2017
A7 Top Tweets ?
You can get featured as:
Top tweet
Top video
Top profileWhich gives you a huge boost ?#TwitterSmarter
— Nicholas Thickett (@NThickett) December 28, 2017
