Ask @hootsuite:
We invited our friends from Hootsuite to come on the chat and kick it off by answering one pressing question about Twitter marketing.
Ask @hootsuite: How can analytics help us with our Twitter marketing? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/zkAZQdNkcr
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
1|2 Analytics are key when you're running marketing initiatives. How would you know if your tweets are working, otherwise?
Analytics tell you what is working, what isn't, and they help you make decisions on what direction to go when it comes to next steps #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/CgUikeC4la
— Hootsuite (@hootsuite) 22 February 2018
2|2 Make sure the metrics you track align with your org goals. Is your goal to drive views? Awareness? Leads?
Whatever your goals are will dictate which metrics matter. Test different content, copy, images, time to post, etc and track the appropriate metrics. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/7Qb5hg4r4F

Twitter's algorithm will show you MORE:

— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018

— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) February 22, 2018
A3: I’ll straight-up admit this is not creative… but I love live-Tweeting key learnings from events. (I’ll be Tweeting up a storm next week from #SMMW18 – I was one of the top Tweeters at #SMMW17!) #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/faW598bF5G
— Christine Gritmon ✨#SMMW18✨ (@cgritmon) February 22, 2018

— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) February 22, 2018

— Lenka Koppová (@lenkakopp) February 22, 2018

A3: Less text, more images. Or GIFS, videos and clips. #TwitterSmarter
— Sixth City Marketing (@sixthcitymktg) 22 February 2018
A3 Tweets should at least have visuals — photos, GIFs, videos — to help you stand out from the crowd. Each should also have at least a hashtag and, if available, a link to your main content. Put feeling behind everything you do. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 22, 2018

— Toby Metcalf Loves to have Conversations (@Toby_Metcalf) February 22, 2018

A3: Cross social media interactions (reference to other #socialmedia channels), Use original visuals (not from known directory), Use my own content rather than sharing others #TwitterSmarter

Q4: What are your strategies for sourcing ideas for your engaging, fun, unique content? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/6i3HVFMBLp
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A4: Follow the leaders of the medium, not of your industry. IE if you’re in hairdressing and you want to do Twitter better, don’t just copy your competition – look outside your industry for inspiration.
We get most of our ideas from outside the marketing world. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Tm9sCcVc0L
— Andrew and Pete ?? (@AndrewAndPete) 22 February 2018
A4: I have fallen in ❤️❤️❤️ with @ZestisApp. There's great content here you can share to your community based on a variety of relevant topics. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/mavlQAoy9B
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018

— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) February 22, 2018
A4: Trending topics; what other industry leaders are talking about amongst themselves; what’s going on in my real life #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/mgMglo5XUB
— Christine Gritmon ✨#SMMW18✨ (@cgritmon) February 22, 2018
A4: We pay attention to the content that has spurred on engagement. Obviously, something about that content struck a chord with our target audience so we figure out how we can apply those ideas to our content in a unique way. #TwitterSmarter
— Flying Cork (@flyingcorkpgh) 22 February 2018
A4: Look at how people are getting reach/engagement on their personal accounts and brainstorm ways you can apply those ideas to your marketing efforts. #TwitterSmarter
— Sixth City Marketing (@sixthcitymktg) 22 February 2018
A4: Finding ideas is all about listening with your eyes. What types of content is your target audience responding to? This is the litmus test that helps me gauge and understand where I need to take my strategy. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) 22 February 2018
A4: I do like @PostPlanner for inspiration. I also watch similar pages on Facebook to see what's popular definitely all my RSS feeds via @Inoreader and my #Twitter lists which get me what I want fast #TwitterSmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) February 22, 2018
A4. I throw in an emoji here and there like when the Eagles won the Super Bowl and use a call to action with trending hashtags. Humor or newsworthy event-related content is a great hook and call out people you really think are special. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/ciVEyegcTT
— Dr. Dorrie Cooper (@sittingpretty61) February 22, 2018
A4: I love following bloggers and seeing what they are doing with their content–it always gives me new ideas. #TwitterSmarter
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) 22 February 2018
A4 My current favorite content source is Twitter chats. Each one — especially with up to 280 characters at a shot — adds up to a separate blog post, which I've now done at least daily on Medium since Dec. 29. Try it. https://t.co/P1OkGKm4Nd #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 22, 2018
A4: to get more creative I disconnect. It gives me time to think. I get to know the network tools and how they work, which usually spark some ideas. I also I read industry publications and do web searches – there are so many great content creators out here now! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/oMVVO31psQ
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) February 22, 2018
Q5: What are some hacks for successfully repurposing content? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/xgsmmSovxH
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A5: We use the Twitter Media Studio (https://t.co/St01eG97vt) to add CTA buttons to teaser videos of our content – driving traffic back to it.
We also summarise the main points of every piece of content into 1 tweet! Easier now we have 280 characters!
#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/RnPG8vIYzz— Andrew and Pete ?? (@AndrewAndPete) 22 February 2018
A5: I use Twitter lists, @buffer's Content Inbox where you add in your RSS feeds and it spits out articles to share, and I love @ZestisApp. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/camP6bU8dL
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A5: For repurposing my own content, I'll take a Facebook Live video I created and pull out like a one minute video clip of great content and tweet it or share on Instagram. It's easy to do. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/camP6bU8dL
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A5 Turn your tweetchat answers into a blog #twittersmarter
— Toby Metcalf Loves to have Conversations (@Toby_Metcalf) February 22, 2018
A5: Look at your non-social content: blogs, infographics, videos, webinars, etc. How can you break it up and use that information value on Twitter and other social platforms in a meaningful way? #TwitterSmarter
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) 22 February 2018
A5. Focus on different aspects of the #content in your posts and change up the text, imagery, etc. that is shared with the link. #TwitterSmarter
— SourceMedia (@SourceMediaCo) 22 February 2018
A5:
1. Utilize a re-scheduling platform where you can integrate both new and old content.
2. Update some of your older blog posts with relevant info/any necessary changes and repost.
3. Retweet yourself. Why not, right? ?#TwitterSmarter
— Sixth City Marketing (@sixthcitymktg) 22 February 2018
A5: Take short clips of longer content (quotes, video, infographics) and then use them on other platforms #TwitterSmarter
— Tim Lewis @ Stoneham Press (@StonehamPress) 22 February 2018
A5: Turn your videos from social (like FB Live) into blog posts! One of my clients does this really well, saves time brainstorming new content ideas! #TwitterSmarter
— Proof Mango // #SMMW18 ??? (@ProofMango) 22 February 2018
A5: Post your evergreen content with different headlines often. #twittersmarter https://t.co/oH6J7qzjss
— AgoraPulse (@AgoraPulse) February 22, 2018
A5: Some hacks are taking a piece of long form content and pulling quotes or stats and creating snackable pieces. This can be a stat or quote paired with an image. Creating blog posts from videos, or snippets from longer vids #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/lACL2M8QVx
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) February 22, 2018
A5: I've had to start a checklist process so I keep in mind all the different ways I can repurpose new content I create. There's sooooo many possibilities! #TwitterSmarter
— Claire Jenks (@cjenksdesign) 22 February 2018
A5: Have a content production schedule…right @AndrewAndPete?

Q6: What are your favorite tools for optimizing your content creation process? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/puWw1VBlS0
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A6: You need to be anal with your time. For us we use Siri to time everything! Know how long a task takes by timing yourself. Automate/outsource big time drains. For us the first task to be outsourced was video editing – we enjoyed it BUT it took the most time! #TwitterSmarter
— Andrew and Pete ?? (@AndrewAndPete) 22 February 2018
A6: I use and ❤️ @SocialJukebox @buffer @hootsuite @AgoraPulse @ManageFlitter. You need a plan on how you'll be sharing your content. Try a variety of tools and find the ones that fits your needs. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/HJs92zfZ6k

A6: Canva is a great tool! Beacon is also great for turning blog posts into PDFs and other materials your audience can download. I also use Adobe Spark Post #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/VEcaXhduKj
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) February 22, 2018
A6: I'm a huge advocate of @Trello for maintaining a content calendar – the key is to be organized so that you have enough time to create everything you need (on time). #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) February 22, 2018
A6: For organizing my ideas: still a fan of notebooks and spreadsheets. For actually creating content I'm a hardcore @canva user. #TwitterSmarter
— Caitlin Kinser (@caitlinmarie89) 22 February 2018
A6 My monster mix of content creation draws from Google alerts, Twitter lists, chats and likes, and Medium posts. Those are a good handful. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 22, 2018
A6:
TextEdit—the cleanest, least distracting tool for me.
Key Note—because it's classy.
Notes app—because that's essential.
Pen and paper—you can never go wrong with those.
Tweet Deck
Canva
Lumen 5
And Mention to observe who says what about us.#TwitterSmarter— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 22 February 2018

— Kathryn LeBlanc? (@Kat_LeBlanc) 22 February 2018

— Laura Denny (@ldcreativemedia) February 22, 2018
A6 #TwitterSmarter Absolutely, I use @buffer and @hootsuite for scheduling and love @Crowdfire for sorting and culling followers. @trello keeps me organised and enables me to view my weeks ahead.

Q7: What are your top tips to successfully reach out to influencers and get a yes? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/CGYyFXHFe6
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A7: Build relationships by proactively commenting on their tweets.
More importantly, make the collaboration REMARKABLE, but the process EASY.
The 'ask' should be a great idea & exciting for the influencer to get involved in, BUT easy for them to execute. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/JjV4NnFMUl
— Andrew and Pete ?? (@AndrewAndPete) 22 February 2018
A7a: It all starts with an ask. Don't be afraid to do this because you don't get what you don't ask for. Always remember that. And if you are not doing it, someone else is. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/gIqOow5nIk
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A7b: Make a Twitter list of the top influencers you'd like to reach out to. Monitor their tweets. Listen. Find opportunity to jump into a conversation with them. I've replied to tweets of rockstars, actors, people of influence. Some will reply back. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/gIqOow5nIk
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A7c: When I was starting my #TwitterSmarter podcast in 2015, I reached out to top social media influencers. They didn't know me yet, but I started by sending a tweet asking if I could interview them. Most said yes. Don't be afraid to ask. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/gIqOow5nIk
— Madalyn Sklar ? #SMMW18 Speaker (@MadalynSklar) February 22, 2018
A7: Show them some social love – retweet/reply, watch their live shows, comment on their blogs. Then go for the ask #TwitterSmarter
— Tim Lewis @ Stoneham Press (@StonehamPress) 22 February 2018
A7 Real relationships take time to establish – be honest – be transparent & #JustBeSocial #twittersmarter
— Toby Metcalf Loves to have Conversations (@Toby_Metcalf) February 22, 2018
A7: Do your research, pay attention to what they are interested in, concerned about & offer help, praise, or solutions… #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/xXdm93J7Lf
— Shauna Groenewold (@Shauna_Shines) February 22, 2018
A7: Don't treat it as a "cold call" and just randomly reach out. Build up a relationship through engagement and then ask. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/4SATqvGdTp
— Katelyn Brower ? (@BrowerKDnB) February 22, 2018
A7 If influencers match what you're trying to convey, retweet their contest, especially with attribution. You'll get their attention. It's also a good way to tell if influencers are real or just acting like bots. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman $ #LifeInsurance $ Worker #Benefits (@JKatzaman) February 22, 2018
A7: Lead with how you can help them. NOT how they can help you. When you come out of the gate offering something of value to a person, they'll be more apt to listen and engage. #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) 22 February 2018
A7: To work with influencers, have an idea and plan ready, and make sure you are familiar with their work. It never hurts to say you like what they’ve been doing and reference a specific post. Make sure you offer them value for their time/posts #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/aSCvYBmebf
— Dhariana Lozano (@DhariLo) February 22, 2018
A7: #1 tip is to get started is to tag them when you share a link to their articles. Especially syndicated content. Don't just credit Inc, Forbes, HBR etc. tag the author too Takes a bit more time to find their handle, but worth it for the conversations I've had #twittersmarter
— Warwick Brown (@warwickabrown) February 22, 2018
A7. Before trying to get a yes-build a relationship. Get to know them, their brand and then find something mutually beneficial. Don’t immediately go in for an ask. #TwitterSmarter
— Alissa Carpenter (@NotOkThatsOk) 22 February 2018
A7 Be yourself. Don’t wait for the right time, take action when the moment arises. Don’t apologize. Better to ask and get a no or maybe than to not ask and never know. And this one’s from @iSocialFanz – find out how/where they like to be reached and use that way. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/ny6px6HYZ3

A8 You can't be strategic with Twitter marketing unless you have a plan. You need to know what you want to do before you do it. Then go for it, and be prepared to adjust. All plans are great until reality strikes. #TwitterSmarter

A8: I've started making just about every tweet a question (even if it's a rhetorical one). I think the 280 characters has made a big difference to the conversations you can have now (even though I was sceptical) #TwitterSmarter

A8:
Observe audience. Respond in kind.
Make conversations a two-way thing.
Reply to those who mention you—even if a little late.
If a strategy's not working out, move on and try another. Be flexible.
Social is about social. Don't get caught up in your own goals.#TwitterSmarter— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 22 February 2018
A8 Think of Twitter as the North Pole and you are Santa: Make special moments, attend parties, make a list and check it twice, answer your mail, and give gifs. Bonus points if you use video! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/q0fOf2wYea
