— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018
A1: If you want to succeed on social media, and especially Twitter, you need a strategy. Sit down and write out a plan. And if you need help, hire a consultant, take a course, go to a conference, educate yourself. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/nSDF3mJR2K

— Knucklepuck (@KnucklepuckDC) March 8, 2018
A1 Without a strategy, you're twittering all over the place. When accounting time comes, you'll never prove return on investment. #TwitterSmarter

Preferably integrated with aforementioned marketing strategy.
Otherwise you are just randomly posting words.#TwitterSmarter— Cathy Wassell (@CathyWassell) March 8, 2018
A1. Critically important! The strategy should be the foundation and the guide for all activity on social media. Keeps you focused on the goals and vision. Definitely need to have purpose and consistency and strategy helps with that. #TwitterSmarter
— Gene Petrov // Leadership & Marketing Consulting (@GenePetrovLMC) 8 March 2018
A1: You don't want to go on social media blindly. You need a strategy that helps you stay in control over your brand presence. You need to have a hold over what your brand voice and activity will be like to maintain consistency. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/KpRsL9Llsf
— Annaliese Henwood (@AH_Mktg) March 8, 2018
A1: Having a social media management strategy for your biz is very important! Especially for sensitive situations, like a complaint, bad review or trolls. Have a plan for how you'd approach them before you need it! #TwitterSmarter

https://twitter.com/VickyWriting/status/971814663569772550
A2. Get a good understanding of what works in YOUR industry. Just because something works on twitter does not mean it is effective for your customers and prospects. #TwitterSmarter
— J. (just the letter) Nolfo (@jnolfo) March 8, 2018
A2
👉 Define your goals
👉 Define your KPIs
👉 Create your strategy – best mix of automation of menial tasks and real-time engagement & work

A2: Don't focus your strategy on just one area. Customer service, brand voice, and other engagements are all important and need their own place in your strategy.
Also, don't stray from your overall social media marketing goals. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/CckXttMAHz
— Annaliese Henwood (@AH_Mktg) March 8, 2018
A2. Be hands-on with the platform, engage and interact authentically in real time with people, add value and establish relationships for the long-term #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/gePvYEjDg2
— Scott Phillips (@scott_phillips_) March 8, 2018
A2:
• Creating a calendar for scheduling
• Being transparent
• Consistent posting
• Diversify your value (not every post has to preach the same thing)#TwitterSmarter— Terry Schilling (@tschill86) 8 March 2018
A2

?set goals and set KPIs against those goals
?involve people outside the creative team in creative planning
?plan proactive + leave room for reactive#TwitterSmarter— comfortwriter ??? (@ComfortWriter) 8 March 2018
https://twitter.com/kriscrump/status/971815419597262854
A2: Be consistent. Schedule time to respond a few times per day. And schedule 1 day per week to schedule and update content. #Twittersmarter https://t.co/3QWzJG0plg
— Agorapulse (@Agorapulse) March 8, 2018
Q3: How can you best combine automation and real-time engagement with your audience? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/mGagF871Yf
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 8, 2018
A3a:
💃Tweet like a human not a marketer
💃Use scheduling tools to free up your time for daily engagement
💃There is simply NO shortcut for responding to notifications
💃Avoid automated replies – they’ll only put people off
💃 It's OK to 'not always be on' #TwitterSmarter— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018
A3b: Sweet Tip: Create a bank of evergreen content of your most popular blogs, quotes and shared content in your preferred scheduling tools to free up time for engagement. Options include: @hootsuite @buffer @ContentCal_io@SocialBeeHQ
What are your favourites? #TwitterSmarter— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018
A3: You need to experiment to find what works best for you. I use @buffer to schedule daily articles I find and @SocialJukebox for my "evergreen" tweets. Everything else is pure engagement. Find your sweet spot. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/A5dk75KhXD
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 8, 2018
A3: I schedule articles I've enjoyed reading. But I'm always watching for conversations I can learn from and contribute to. #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 8 March 2018
A3: Automation through a tool that helps you schedule broadcasts is a must because no one can be on Twitter at all times.
Just don't auto-follow or auto-retweet. You want to take personal time to engage live with those tasks. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/qkglYLVMa1
— Annaliese Henwood (@AH_Mktg) March 8, 2018
A3: Schedule content (smart marketers do). Engage as a human, don't automate replies and DMs.. #Twittersmarter https://t.co/wEgX7ikSfY
— Agorapulse (@Agorapulse) March 8, 2018
A3. As a great speaker at #SMMW18 said: use automation to free up time for more ENGAGEMENT!
#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/nbRl3Lbwvx— Christine Gritmon ❤️ #ChatAboutBrand (@cgritmon) March 8, 2018
A3: Automate sharing your evergreen posts, then schedule in slots where you can talk to people in real-time. That way, the boring stuff is done automatically and you have more time to spend connecting #TwitterSmarter
— Kristina Adams (@KristinaAuthor) 8 March 2018
A3. I think automation is still good in small doses. It helps during the off hours. It can be the way to start a discussion. But then we have to create that back and forth rhythm of actual conversation. People can tell when a real person is engaging with them. #TwitterSmarter
— Gene Petrov // Leadership & Marketing Consulting (@GenePetrovLMC) 8 March 2018
A3
Have a plan of action to maximise ?+ ?engagement.
Define what is really ⚠️and what is really ⌚️: things that are an emergency, time-sensitive or need a human touch.
Save time with lower-level engagement by scripting and automating those replies. #TwitterSmarter
— comfortwriter ??? (@ComfortWriter) 8 March 2018
A3: I use automation in moderation & try to be constantly there for my audience responding and assisting. Like in real life #twittersmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) March 8, 2018
A3:
Automate what you can. 🤖
Freeing yourself to engage more often. 🤝
For #CisionChat, I schedule all the questions in @Buffer so I can focus on engaging in the chat.
I'd bet @MadalynSklar is doing something similar for #TwitterSmarter 😉 https://t.co/DUpFTqLyfs
— Bruce Kennedy (@BruceKennedy1) March 8, 2018
A3. I schedule very little. I prefer to jump on when I have time and RT, like and chat with people, like now! #TwitterSmarter

A4: I love using Video Replies on Twitter! ? #TwitterSmarter #VideoReplyDay rocks! pic.twitter.com/ohYy4kjIk2
— Nicole Osborne ? Lollipop Social (@Lollipop_Social) 8 March 2018
A4: I recommend using VIDEO on Twitter. Video will wildly boost your engagement. I started #VideoReplyDay as a way to encourage people to reply to tweets with a video. It's so easy to do on your phone. Try it! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/VnYjWxUnpB
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 8, 2018
A4: Automate posts to go out while you're asleep! I've had posts go out at 2am our time and I've woken up to them having crazy reach. Just because you're asleep, that doesn't mean everyone else is #TwitterSmarter
— Kristina Adams (@KristinaAuthor) 8 March 2018
https://twitter.com/VickyWriting/status/971816957635940352
https://twitter.com/SailorsBen/status/971817102612058112
A4 for #TwitterSmarter: Use those #TrendingTopics to your advantage. People are talking about those things for a reason. Try to find a productive way to contribute to those trending topics.
— Knucklepuck (@KnucklepuckDC) 8 March 2018
A4. Interacting INTELLIGENTLY in chats (like #TwitterSmarter ) and with influencers (like @MadalynSklar ); participating in hot, RELEVANT conversation topics https://t.co/aTLTnADDf2
— Christine Gritmon ❤️ #ChatAboutBrand (@cgritmon) March 8, 2018
A4: It's actually quote-retweets that help my reach and visibility the most.
Taking the time to comment on what I'm retweeting leads to more engagement than just the standard retweet. It shows you're really paying attention. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/eQps0KO3nv
— Annaliese Henwood (@AH_Mktg) March 8, 2018
A4: PINNED Tweets are great! Extends the life of a given tweet or draws added attention to the content you're sharing within that tweet! #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) 8 March 2018
A4: When sharing articles, tag the author & publisher. They are usually happy to like or RT. Great way to share relevant info but also give credit.
Be thankful and grateful to your current audience – and show it!#TwitterSmarter
— Julie Lichtenberg (@jalichtenberg) 8 March 2018
A4: Twitterchats seem to be a great way to get more visibility. I'd also say follow hashtags in your niche and reply to them #twittersmarter
— Agorapulse (@Agorapulse) March 8, 2018
A4: Be present & deploy social listening to your advantage. Pay attention to viable hashtags and add value to conversations that are taking place around that content. #TwitterSmarter

📝Easy to keep in touch with customers, prospects, influencers and journalists
📝Make finding great content easy
Been to an event? 📝Reach out to speakers and attendees
📝Sorry I know I’m a bit list obsessed, I’m German after all 🙂#TwitterSmarter— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018
A5c: Tools
⚙️Analytics: Identify best tweets quickly, schedule more like them
⚙️Advanced Search: search search & FIND
⚙️Bookmarking function: it's so brilliant!
⚙️Notifications: sometimes you need a break, so switch them off.
⚙️Bios: add your main links#TwitterSmarter— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018

A5. I can say Twitter List is one of the most under-used feature here #TwitterSmarter
— Cheval John (@chevd80) 8 March 2018
A5: Twitter Moments were a hit and had the spotlight for awhile. Now, no one seems to use them, look at them, or care about them.
For me, moments are essential to organizing themed tweets for sharing later or referencing. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/2ro16xoZTg
— Annaliese Henwood (@AH_Mktg) March 8, 2018
A5: Lists… depending on the person, can be underused. If you purposefully create them, they can be handy. Literally everyone I follow, gets placed in a list so I remember why I wanted to follow them in the first place. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) 8 March 2018
https://twitter.com/kriscrump/status/971818726634020865
A5 Twitter likes are also underused. Sure, you reflexively like a tweet, but do you ever go back and tap into tweets for future reference? Start to treat likes as a filing cabinet. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman – Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time (@JKatzaman) March 8, 2018

Q6: What are your tips for those outsourcing their Twitter Management activities? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/LJ7Dqmbf57
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 8, 2018
A6a: Keep an authentic voice on Twitter, by working closely with your #SMM:
📣Share your vision, goals & passion for your brand
📣Jointly explore what tone of voice & visual style you're HAPPY with – this is so important (@Canva fab for creating on brand visuals)#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/MqYyceL8uf— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018
A6b: Help your #SMM deliver sweet results:
🍭Give them time for strategy homework
🍭Find ways to stay in touch, even when busy
🍭Share your ‘Twitter’ news with your #SMM: behind the scenes content, events you attend & awards news. https://t.co/c9m7AagodM #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/zVY4iyiHnf— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018

🍭Agree on a way of dealing with customer service and any urgent questions
🍭Read my tips for how to prepare for outsourcing here https://t.co/enYZOFgvkm #TwitterSmarter— Nicole Osborne – Wunderstars (@Wunderstars) March 8, 2018
A6: @Lollipop_Social answered this perfectly. Everything she said, do it. 😀
I'll add this:
Only outsource if you have to. You need to make sure whoever is running your Twitter fully knows and understands your brand. They will be your voice on Twitter.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/z8MCaGkhR5— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) March 8, 2018
A6: Try not to.
Social is far too important for someone unfamiliar with the business or goals to handle. #TwitterSmarter— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 8 March 2018
A6: Before you outsource, make sure it's the right platform to reach your target audience! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/EsBJJWEgBH
— Scott Phillips (@scott_phillips_) March 8, 2018
https://twitter.com/kriscrump/status/971820002813804545
A6: If you're outsourcing any part of your Twitter operations, make sure you know who you're working with, can trust them, and everyone is clear on goals & tactics. #TwitterSmarter
— Susan Chavez (@Susan_Chavez) March 8, 2018
A6: If you have the budget and don't have the time to dedicate to Twitter… sure, hire someone else to do it. But don't hire and forget! Keep an eye on the account yourself so you see what's going on. #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) 8 March 2018
A6. Ugh – don’t. 😜 JK! Just don’t think that it exempts you from engagement. Or, if you MUST delegate that, too, dictate a really consistent set of brand & voice parameters. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/WQMHuAmNNb
— Christine Gritmon ❤️ #ChatAboutBrand (@cgritmon) March 8, 2018
A6: Hire an agency that knows what they are doing. Don't just bring on an intern because they have a phone and know how to tweet.. #Twittersmarter https://t.co/8k3iJL4xGI
— Agorapulse (@Agorapulse) March 8, 2018
A6: I think all the outsourcing should be done under the strict and wise guidance on how to use Twitter the proper way that would benefit to the business and the brand#TwitterSmarter
— Pavlo Fedykovych (@de_weg_) 8 March 2018
A6
Be clear about tone, voice and messaging – it needs to resemble who YOU are, not the person, agency, brand tweeting / posting / creating for you.
Your audience deserves YOU & your smarts, not some random tweet-storm.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/iCeD3ZtBvF— Zala Bricelj – 🇸🇮👩💻🐕📚 #EduTech is my jam (@ZalkaB) March 8, 2018
A6: If you're not going to have an in-house person, make sure you have a person who is skilled w/ knowing ins/outs BEFORE creating a PERSONALIZED strategy for your brand. Don't just hand that over to an intern or volunteer, #Twitter is important for your brand.#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/MO9Fws9lGj

A8: Don't spend all day waiting for people to like/comment/share! Make the first move.
Give yourself set times to interact in real-time so that you don't get bogged down.#TwitterSmarter

A8: Find Twitter chats that fit your niche that you can participate and learn from! Then jump into the conversation! You should also find chats that fit your business brand that you can get more awareness for. #TwitterSmarter

A8. Learn from the masters. Don’t just learn by doing; they’ve studied what does & doesn’t work, and can save you some of that! That said – their audience isn’t your audience, so do pay attention to your own performance, with their tips. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/efW3CrIqve

A8: Test various types of posts to see what works for your audience (Gifs, video, polls, images, etc.).
View your audience analytics to see what their interests are – talk about those things!
Be helpful, witty and tweet about trends before they happen. ?#TwitterSmarter
