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 GIFs enhance our Twitter feed? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/AvDrPieoK3
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
1|1 GIFs attract people’s attention like a moth to a flame! A GIF can make people laugh, better associate with you, and make your tweet have extra emotion that it otherwise wouldn’t have.
When in doubt, add a GIF to your tweets to brighten your followers’ day! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Pk4LZxYyBy

A3a. Share content of value. Don’t use it to sell, sell, sell. Build up your reputation first through tips, sharing blogs, sharing content from others. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/DtJZSMZFLH
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018

https://twitter.com/LUCYrk78/status/1037755608550842368

Yes, you hope to develop biz prospects sooner than later but patience is a virtue. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/hiGb2pn8rS
— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) September 6, 2018
Yes, Jim, I agree about the beauty of 280 in your A3. It's an excellent creative #writing challenge – I think
more #writers should be on Twitter, practicing how to write tight. #TwitterSmarter— annkroeker (@annkroeker) September 6, 2018
A3: Always provide value with the posts you share on Twitter. And make sure you spend time engaging with your audience. Those are keys to building trust. #TwitterSmarter

— Justin Bienvenue, #ModernDayPoe (@JustinBienvenue) September 6, 2018
Q4: What’s your strategy for using hashtags in your tweets? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/nUF7v7FEdb
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
A4a. I usually stick to 2 hashtags max per tweet. Also, because of where I live in Texas I sometimes use some in Spanish. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/TR5SmO95P1
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A4b. I use hashtags to engage in conversations that are related to the value my customers are looking for in sales and marketing. Helps to enter the stream of conversation. But #TwitterSmarter folks know that already, right?
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A4c. Use trending hashtags if applicable to your business to add value to the conversation and show your knowledge to a wider audience. #TwitterSmarter
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A4: I don't use too many hashtags in my tweets. I stick to one or two. I will focus on one of my branded hashtags like #TwitterSmarter. https://t.co/JyqF97TeEq
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
A4: Use one or two relevant hashtags in your tweets to gain more traction. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers | Your Content Writing Partner (@ExpWriters) September 6, 2018
A4: Keep them relevant and to a minimal. Worst thing is to see tweets that have no relevance to the hashtag pop up. Don't overuse them either. Often 1-2 for a single tweet is enough. #TwitterSmarter
— Tamara (@itstamaragt) September 6, 2018
A4: Besides not over hash tagging a tweet (which comes across as spammy), I like to use two or three key words that are related to the content I am posting about so people who are searching those key words will find my post relevant to them! #TwitterSmarter
— kununu US (@kununu_US) September 6, 2018
A4 Use hashtags that are relevant to the Tweet — and preferably two max. Otherwise, you'll get a reputation as a spammer. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman – Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time (@JKatzaman) September 6, 2018
A4:
• Use only when relevant.
• Use only relevant hashtags.
• Be consistent with brand hashtags.
• Don't overload hashtags – I prefer two per tweet.#TwitterSmarter— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) September 6, 2018
A4 I use hashtags to reflect a bridge to other topics. I.E. what I'm sharing may not seem to directly connect, but the tag helps tell the story of why it does. Like the #bikes4climate one I use a bit. #twittersmarter
— Andrea Learned | Climate Influence 🎙️🌱 Ⓥ 🚲 (@AndreaLearned) September 6, 2018
A4: Less is more. Challenge yourself to use only ONE relevant hashtag per tweet. #tweets #like #this #are #spammy #and #not #cool!! #TwitterSmarter
— Maria Marchewka (@_MariaMarchewka) September 6, 2018
A4: Keep them simple, fewer than 3 (ideally 1), and as part of a sentence rather than tacked on to the end… he says, ending this with #TwitterSmarter.
— Chris Hearn (@cjhearn) September 6, 2018
A4)
I use Hashtags that tie my brand, the focus, and the tribe(market) I desire to engage with.
Then the most used.
#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/N04bsxdYZP
— Andre (ThatGuyAMPPED) Powell | I Help of Dreamers (@ThatGuyAMPPED) September 6, 2018
A4. Integrate ht in your text which eliminates the discussion about how many. Note: do not ht every word only keywords. Possibly add cross fertilization ht at the end #TwitterSmarter #SocialSelling
— Mic V Adam (@micadam) September 6, 2018
A4: I seldom, if ever, tweet without a hashtag.
If I am retweeting someone, & they have identified a hashtag important to them, I will use it again.
However, I like to choose my own, so that I am better targeting those who I hope will be potential clients. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/RtY6jCdtgY
— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) September 6, 2018
Late bird! 👋 Hi
A4. No more than 3 – they’re related to the industry and conversation always. I love using @hashtagify to see what’s trending / popular for the topic at hand #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/uZyXcG6jK0— Megan Powers 💥 #EventProfs (@meganpowers) September 6, 2018
A4: Use relevant hashtags. And if it makes sense for your brand to use a trending hashtag, use it. (Don’t use a trending hashtag just because it’s trending.) #TwitterSmarter
— Danielle Mamagona ??♀️ (@PokeyLuWho) September 6, 2018
a4 search the # first to see what kind of content is related to it. use 3 # for tweet max. #twittersmarter
— Joana Rita Sousa ? ?? (@JoanaRSSousa) September 6, 2018
A4:
▶️ Research best hashtags using @RiteTag.
▶️ Only use two hashtags per tweet where clicks are the goal.
▶️ Tap into events & trending hashtags to expand my network
▶️ Use my branded hashtag #Stand4Something to share content regularly #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/4BIFf8RWAy— Stacey DePolo 🌻 (@sdepolo) September 6, 2018
A4: I use hashtags that join a community. So, if I am in a chat or at a trade show. For example I tweet on #TravelTuesdays because I love to travel, so I share travel posts. #Twittersmarter.
— Janette Speyer ?????? (@JanetteSpeyer) September 6, 2018
Q5: What percentage of your tweets should be about you and your business? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/gqZablrK24
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
A5a. My general rule of thumb is 25% promo and the rest is to help my ideal clients with their challenges. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/rtnXH4DPeX
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A5b. If you’re sharing say 10 tweets per day, then max 3 should be about you and your business, the other 7 should be giving value, sharing blogs, tips etc and sharing others’ content. #TwitterSmarter
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A5c. This is a good rule of thumb for posting on any social media platform, not just Twitter! Make it all about the customer. That shows they are more important to you than you are to yourself. #TwitterSmarter
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A5: 20-30% #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/AoxC7v2w1q
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
The rest of the time I tweet other people's content like helpful, insightful articles that will help my community. ? #TwitterSmarter
— Madalyn Sklar ? Social Media Consultant (@MadalynSklar) September 7, 2018
A5 I have a Twitter list, Social Media Experts, that lets me help stay in touch with what's going on in social media. That list includes chat hosts, which leads to me getting on cutting-edge chats such as #TwitterSmarter, #SocialROI, #DigiBlogChat, #BlogChat and others. #cfchat
— Jim Katzaman – Get Debt-Free One Family at a Time (@JKatzaman) September 6, 2018
A5: I am a big fan of
80% content of value and sharing
20% about me#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/7LnXW3kwn9— Jim Fuhs #DealcastersLive #SMWL23 (@FuhsionMktg) September 6, 2018
A5: I don't know the EXACT percent but I would say no more than 20%, social media is for social purposes and giving value. It is rude to be aggressively trying to sell your brand to people who, quiet frankly, might not be interested. Build relationships! #TwitterSmarter
— kununu US (@kununu_US) September 6, 2018
A5 I use a ratio of 80/20 because I'm a content creator. I create helpful and useful content for other people to share, so this ratio is what works best for me. #TwitterSmarter
— Brandon Schaefer (@companeur_bes) September 6, 2018
A5: this is tough. I’m struggling a bit with this now trying to figure out how much to personally tweet about my professional interests & how much to tweet about other hobbies/interests/side projects. Looking forward to reading everyone’s thoughts on this Q! #TwitterSmarter
— Alexandria Kenyon (@akenyon_) September 6, 2018
A5: Depends on the business and the relationship we have with the community.
Some accounts are for support-only, while some others are more interactive. If latter, I'd say about 10% promotional, and another 30% updates, and the rest helpful. #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) September 6, 2018
A5)
Interestingly enough while every Tweet should include your branding, 35-50% should include business information.
— Andre (ThatGuyAMPPED) Powell | I Help of Dreamers (@ThatGuyAMPPED) September 6, 2018
A5: I think it depends. If your business tweets are solely selling something, they should make up around 20%. However, if your business tweets provide value about your brand/business whilst integrate a personal, social aspect, you can get away with more! #TwitterSmarter
— Tamara (@itstamaragt) September 6, 2018
https://twitter.com/LUCYrk78/status/1037758693226545156
A5: Maybe 10% – 20%.🤷♂️
Some of the best marketing downplays the brand itself, but promotes the business purpose or ideals, as opposed to the product or brand, but always identify your logo. Get people’s interest in you, first, & then your product/service. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/1vBHyiQxmQ— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) September 6, 2018
A5.
I was always told when I first started out that 80% of the time ought to be sharing content, re-tweeting, engaging with other people and the remaining 20% can be promotional. #TwitterSmarter— Virtuoso Assistant #MarketEdLive ? ? (@VirtuosoAssist) September 6, 2018
A5 …. the 80/20 rule is also tried & tested with fitness , 80% what you eat 20% exercise ?? good to know it applies same on here #TwitterSmarter
— MissFitBit #Marketedlive (@Irish_IreneB) September 6, 2018
A5
Recently I reread Tribes from Seth, so I'm trying not to promote myself too much.
Instead, I'm creating content (micro-blog) that people would love to share because its useful or teach something. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/kkJI1Qjmly
— Alberto Gómez (@alberMoire) September 6, 2018
A5: I used to have separate accounts but the biz ones became too dry and felt less authentic. I believe in today's world our personal values/interests help us attract our ideal clients and tribe, so a mix of all parts of me is what I share. #TwitterSmarter
— Stacey DePolo ✊?? #RiseForClimate (@sdepolo) September 6, 2018
Q6: What are some techniques to close a sale on Twitter? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/Q1Jzn7DoSB
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
A6a My fave topic! Use videos, webinars, images of you. People like to buy from people they know, like and trust. If they can’t see you, they can’t trust you. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Jk1VQUGnRT
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A6b. Take it offline as much as possible. You can only gain so much trust through one-sided conversations. Get into a face to face conversation. So many platforms to choose from: my standard is Zoom and Periscope. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Jk1VQUGnRT
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A6c. Engage with people who follow you, who RT your content, and those who ask you questions. Also answer people who are asking questions about your industry. They'll begin to ask about you. Engagement keeps you top of mind. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Jk1VQUGnRT
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A6d. Start with a free offer and make sure that your website is in your bio. @tweetinggoddess made sure I did that! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Jk1VQUGnRT
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A6: I like using Twitter to connect with my community and bringing them over to my lead magnet or a Facebook Live where I can share great value. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/GL8RY011Up
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018

A6: if you are at a trade show and you follow the twitter feed, you have an excellent opportunity to connect via Twitter and offer to take the convo of line and meet F2F. #TwitterSmarter

A6 I never really close sales on Twitter. I only utilize the platform to form new relationships, and to engage with helpful and useful content that other people share. I always take the conversation offline on a more personal level if we're going to talk business. #TwitterSmarter
— Brandon Schaefer (@companeur_bes) September 6, 2018
A6: Not sure you want to “close” on the main Twitter stream. Rather, if it is going to be on Twitter, do it discretely in a DM.
My preference would be to initiate on Twitter & close via email, phone, skype or in person when possible.#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/W9TVOhSnU8— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) September 6, 2018
A6: It depends. I don't tweet about my business as much as I should because I don't wanna seem spammy. I do tweet about myself and what I do, so I tweet around my business #TwitterSmarter

A6.
– I'm not sure I've ever closed a sale on Twitter as I nurture leads away from social.
– It's better to use email to get a more personal conversation going where you can provide more value & find out more about a customer's likes/dislikes.#TwitterSmarter— Virtuoso Assistant #MarketEdLive ? ? (@VirtuosoAssist) September 6, 2018
A6. Twitter is about building relationships and selling #TwitterSmarter #SocialSelling

Q7: Which Twitter tools do you use and recommend? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/mRz3DAwkuw
— Madalyn Sklar (@MadalynSklar) September 6, 2018
A7a. If I need to schedule I use Tweetdeck, but the best tool is analytics. Knowing who your customer is and what their interests are is essential in sales. It helps you direct your message. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/WMKpQwk4Vp
— Anna Scheller, Small Business Enthusiast! 🇺🇸 (@SchellerAnna) September 6, 2018
A7b. After taking @MadalynSkar’s free course on Twitter, I started a Buffer account as well. Love having the ability to post to multiple platforms! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/WMKpQwk4Vp

— Alexandria Kenyon (@akenyon_) September 6, 2018
A7 When in doubt, the best engagement tool is Twitter lists. They let you actively listen to competitors and issues, giving you the opening to just in with your solutions to heal pain points and win the day. #TwitterSmarter

A7: If this refers to non third-party I use Twitter Analytics a lot to see when my audience is active and get more insight on them, to help me provide better content! #TwitterSmarter
— kununu US (@kununu_US) September 6, 2018
A7: Definitely
– Tweetdeck
– Twitter Analytics

A7. Hootsuite, buffer, tweriod, hashtagify #ifftt #TwitterSmarter
— Mic V Adam (@micadam) September 6, 2018
A7 I keep it simple and just use @TweetDeck to keep track of everything going on. I'm big on Twitter lists, so it's a great way to put people in buckets and follow trends as they come and go. The normal analytics that Twitter provides is good enough for me. #TwitterSmarter
— Brandon Schaefer (@companeur_bes) September 6, 2018
https://twitter.com/sittingpretty61/status/1037760875447373826
A7: Tweet Deck is quite good enough for me for now. I used @MeetEdgar for a while, and love it. I also use @canva and @Photoshop quite a lot. #TwitterSmarter
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) September 6, 2018
A7: @ManageFlitter, @buffer, @hootsuite not Twitter tools per say but Twitter helpers. I also use likes and lists and recommend them for a way to organize and be more sufficient #TwitterSmarter
— Justin Bienvenue, #ModernDayPoe (@JustinBienvenue) September 6, 2018
A7: I admit to having not use a lot of Twitter tools, but #TweetDeck, I am using more & more, for following individual streams & scheduling tweets.

A7:) Twitter Analytics – Extremely powerful for analyzing which content is connecting with your audience.
Periscope – The replay value of a Periscope video is immense towards building engagement.
Twitter Lists- Valuable for targeted campaigns. #TwitterSmarter— Shadeed Q. Eleazer (@mrshadeed) September 6, 2018
A7: @buffer – esp the chrome addon to retweet and to quickly add content to the schedule@CoSchedule when prepping blog posts to schedule Twitter posts
@TweetDeck to stay on top of stuff.
Natively, Twitter lists and analytics.#TwitterSmarter

A8: Go create a lead magnet on your website today. It can be a one page PDF of your top tips or tools in your market. Then go promote it on Twitter. People love free content from people they know, like and trust (you). It's a simple strategy that works. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/5zuTV6sENX

A8: build connections with users through transparency and honesty. #TwitterSmarter
— Alexandria Kenyon (@akenyon_) September 6, 2018
A8 The number one thing you can do is leave a comment. Look at hitting the "Like" button as driving buy a friends house, but not knocking on their door. Leave a "Comment" instead. I assure you without a doubt that your engagement will skyrocket. #TwitterSmarter
