? MailChimp's new Landing Pages
? An email opt-in form + visual created on @Canva to hook interest
? iMovie for creating teaser videos to attract new leads#TwitterSmarter— Virtuoso Assistant ? ? (@VirtuosoAssist) 3 May 2018
A7: I'm not using anything that helps me generate leads on my personal account. I do feel that there is a lot to be done DM wise that isn't as intrusive and annoying as auto DMs, but is reminiscent of chat bots… #TwitterSmarter

Q8: What’s the best way to start building relationships that lead to ROI? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/FvLmPXIZLc
— Madalyn Sklar ?helping people crush it on social (@MadalynSklar) May 3, 2018
A8: ROI means GOALS and tracking. Research who you want to connect with, set goals for engagement, track how many people or conversations have moved into your pipeline. @Nimble is IDEAL for this. I create “deals” based on convos and follow-up.#TwitterSmarter

A8: Help people make buying decisions! My friend @MickGriffin from @Brand24 says that 45K people each month search for recommendations and 60% of those requests go UNANSWERED!. Talk about opportunity to grow! See deets here – https://t.co/I26BQTjXKd #TwitterSmarter
— Ivana Taylor (@DIYMarketers) May 3, 2018
A8: The best way to start is to JUST DO IT. It's that easy. Do something. It will grow from there. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/DLEkRbW4Zl

A8 Be authentically YOU. They will like and trust you if you are yourself and genuinely interested in THEM. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/purM9cMuv8

A8: Interact and engage with your audience! Let them know you have a strong voice in the industry! #TwitterSmarter

A8: I think organising meetups in real life is a good way to start. We can take it up from there, planning partnerships, and discussing ways we could help each other. Social media relationships are mutual and should be treated that way. #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) 3 May 2018
A8. Connections teach us how how to do what we want to do better, succesfully and without as many pitfalls.
To start the conversation, find people who are talking about your interests, take a deep breath, and start talking. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/9aCTZHn6PM

A8: You can spend no money at all and start building relationships with your target audience. Research who your audience follows. What content are they pushing? Take that and apply it to your content strategy. You'll have new fans before you know it! #TwitterSmarter

A8.
– Be real & be genuine
– Go beyond the typical "how are you/doing great" level of connections. Instead, truly make an effort to understand whom you are talking to. GO DEEP.
– Be who you are & embrace it
– Celebrate others
– Support other people's content #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/a4l5C3OvLO— Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ph.D Digital Learning Evangelist (@aiaddysonzhang) May 3, 2018
A8 I think @DIYMarketers said it in the beginning – dive in, listen and start with UNANSWERED Qs and convos, not necessarily about your brand, but about the industry you're in!
That's the basic thing to start with.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/WbJ3pPYgrF— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) May 3, 2018
A8. Take what you're passionate about and search the term and look for chats that focus on those subjects. I just started reading and learning. I complimented and responded to all the new and exciting content I found.
ONE MESSAGE AT A TIME! #TwitterSmarter— Dr. Dorrie Cooper (@sittingpretty61) May 3, 2018
A8. Help and seek help is my mantra… engage… solve problems…just be genuine and say hello….that will go a long way in building long lasting relationships..#TwitterSmarter
