Key Take Aways:
  • Twitter is one of the older social networks
  • Twitter is often used by more “academic” types - writers and such
  • Twitter requires a different strategy than Instagram. The noise level is far higher
  • The higher noise-level has to do with the relative ease of putting together a post on Twitter, versus other platforms
  • To cut through the noise, you gotta be tweeting all the time!
  • Twitter is one of the best places to connect with high-profile people. Try it! Tweet at some people for fun to see if you can get a response
  • Videos, limited to 30 seconds, are a great way to natively tease your music
  • Use appropriate hashtags
  • Use emojis
  • Tweet your random, deep or shallow thoughts and ideas
  • Tweet quotes
  • Tweet links
  • tweet @ people, and reply. Use a period before the at sign (like .@colinthomson) if you want other people to be able to see it
  • Repetition is OK on Twitter, MUCH more so than other platforms
  • Interact, interact, interact!!!
