As marketers, particularly social media marketers who operate our own agencies, the most common questions that we get asked by our clients regarding Twitter go a little something like this: Is Twitter effective? How can I measure my Twitter success? Am I "tweeting" correctly? Who should I be tweeting to? While we're on the topic of "should"-- should I schedule my tweets or do I actually have to send them out myself? How do I hire someone to help me with Twitter? Do I tweet 2-3 times per day, 5-6, ten? What's the proper amount? To answer those questions, Nisha Maxwell of Ideations and I taught a workshop on May 20th, 2014 at the Microsoft Store in Los Angeles, CA. The presentation shared here is the very information we shared and presented to our attendees.

- 36. Best Practices ā¢ Ideal Length: 110 characters, including spaces, punctuation marks and links ā¢ Hashtags: Up to 4. Hashtags can go within or after text.
- 37. Etiquette ā¢ Follow back ā¢ Say āThank youā when someone follows you ā¢ Say āThank youā when someone retweets you ā¢ Respond: Answer questions within 24 hours, answer industry questions posed to the Twitterverse. Then show people youāre listening by responding. ā¢ If a mention of your brand has shareable content, retweet it. ā¢ If a mention is just nice but wouldn't have any value for your followers, favorite it. ā¢ If a mention asks a question, favorite it and reply. ā¢ When there is a national tragedy or disaster, immediately un- schedule all of your scheduled tweets so as not to look inconsiderate.
- 38. Best Practices ā¢ Have an AUDIENCE in mind.
