TOP 10 TWITTER TIPS
Find the balance between
conversation and promotion.
• Don’t only tweet your own content
• Twitter is not a place to simply push out your own
messages and agenda
• Inspire conversation, ask questions, answer
questions, share resources
Don’t be afraid to follow your
followers.
• If you’re not following people, it’s one-sided relationship.
• If you are not following someone, they cannot direct
message you.
• You don’t have to follow everyone that follows you – check
out their profile and see if they are appropriate.
Make use of the “Favorites”
feature.
• Save memorable and important tweets.
• People often check what types of tweets you’ve
“favourited” before deciding to follow you.
Say thank you!
• If you’re nice and polite on Twitter, people will notice
and remember!
• Kindness & appreciation will make you stand out
Save relevant search terms on
your Twitter dashboard.
• Set up search terms:
• Org. name
• Campaign
• Event
• Trending topic
• Listen to what is being said
about your organization
• Respond accordingly (ties
into next tip!)
Reply and Retweet.
• Take the time to chat with your followers
• Check your @ replies and engage fans directly by
asking/answering questions
• Retweet interesting content
T-shirt by www.ThinkGeek.com
Provide value to your
followers.
• Don’t spam people! You can run the risk of losing
credibility and followers.
• Respect the interests of your followers: direct them
to interesting and relevant resources, tools, etc.
• Be social: connect with others and be helpful.
Twitter is a tool – not a strategy.
• It’s a communication & engagement channel
• Important to have the basics covered (website, donation
processing, email marketing, etc.)
• Remember to integrate Twitter with other social media
networks you are a part of
Set up a schedule for yourself.
• Make it part of your routine
• Devote a set amount of time per day to tweet,
retweet, follow, reply!
• Good way to start is to incorporate it into your
morning email check
You get what you give!
• Not enough to just create your profile
• Success requires meaningful and ongoing participation
• Keep your expectations realistic
