In this episode I chat with Pam Moore of Marketing Nutz. She describes herself as half geek, half marketing and 100% social nut! I can tell you, Pam is everywhere online. She constantly tweets helpful information and advice. She is the host of the super popular #GetRealChat on Twitter every Tuesday at 9pm ET. And she has a wonderful podcast I enjoy listening to called Social Zoom Factor.

Pam shares 4 great tips that will help you “get real” on Twitter.

In this episode, here’s what Pam covers:

• #1 tip: Be yourself on Twitter.
• She shares the story of how she came up with her Twitter handle @PamMktgNut.
• She also shares the story of how Mari Smith invited her to speak on a teleseminar. At the time she had only 300 Twitter followers. Within minutes of talking about branding & social media on the seminar, she had pages and pages of RTs of what she said. Within 6 months she co-authored a book with Mari. All of this success stemmed from being real and watching for opportunities.
• The power of Twitter, the tricks & tips, the magic sauce: it’s just as important what you do off of Twitter as what you do on Twitter. Blog, podcast, YouTube, Meerkat, Periscope – integrate Twitter into all of that.
• She found success combining Twitter with her blog.
• Do not let the tools & technology and the “geeky” side of Twitter own you.
• Tip #2: Have a plan. Understand what your purpose is. Who is your audience?
• Tip #3: Build your own plan. Don’t listen to what everyone says.
• Tip #4: Know who you are as a person and as a brand. Know the difference between authenticity and transparency.
• How much to share = transparency. Authenticity = making sure what you’re saying is true and that you are real.
• Learn why tweeting and blogging on Saturdays can pay off.

In this episode I chat with Matt Diederichs. He’s the Community Growth Coordinator at Hootsuite. He devotes his time on Twitter building engagement, loyalty and advocacy for the Hootsuite brand. He says Hootsuite’s #1 platform for customer engagement is Twitter. I have a soft place in my heart for the company because I’ve been using them since its inception many years ago. It makes using Twitter so much easier.

Matt and I met recently on a great Twitter chat called #MediaChat Thursdays 10pm ET. We’re both big fans of Twitter chats. It will come as no surprise that Matt helps run the wildly popular Hootsuite Twitter chat #HootChat Thursdays 3pm ET.

In this episode, here’s what Matt covers:

• Get really good at Twitter listening. Have a listening first perspective.
• At Hootsuite they listen for brand mentions: @Hootsuite, Hootsuite and misspellings.
• Before you build a content and publishing strategy, build a listening strategy and look for opportunities to join conversations.
• Twitter has matured to the point where everybody is pushing content. Everybody is using tools to schedule content. There’s a real content overload on Twitter. Your opportunity to differentiate yourself is in engaging.
• Get out from behind your brand on Twitter. Use Twitter as yourself in addition to your branded handle. This creates a personal touchpoint. More meaningful connection.
• Twitter chats are a strong example of true community on Twitter. You can get the most meaningful relationships within a short period of time. You can generate more quality authentic relationships in a one hour chat than you ever could from publishing for an hour a week.
• We want to be an enabler of conversations. We want our friends to make friends because of us. Twitter chats are a great way for us to do that.
• Go to where your customers and friends are. Engage in established communities such as Twitter chats.
• Your Call-To-Action: Sign up for a free Hootsuite account and try it out. It’s a great app! I use it everyday. Also try Followerwonk – Twitter analytics.
