What I learned about Twitter.

Today is a Twitter kind of day.  I have decided I am just not using twitter to its fullest potential. Being self employed I need to constantly stay on top of my game and ahead of the competition.  So I have decided to do a little research on Twitter.  I have found some great pointers and thought I would share them with you.  The first one was the most obviously lol all hail Caption Obvious HASHTAGS !  Yes that little symbol that for many of us old timers called a pound sign #.  Not sure when it went from pound to hashtag? Well have no fear a little Wikipedia quickly answered that question the first hashtag was used on August 23th 2007 by Chris Messina also know for helping Spread Firefox.  So there is your little tidbit  for today.  Now for some tips on  Tweeting
1. Use  ###  Hashtag  the more you use the more engagement you will get on your tweets it is proven that Tweets with Hashtags get double the engagement rate and grow more followers.
2. Tweet Times did you know there a better times to tweet?  Who knew??  Tweeting between 9am and 3pm Monday through Thursday are the prime times to Tweet.  Why not Friday well after a little more research it turns out that everyone starts to wind down on Fridays and the Twitter traffic slows down.  Now a there are other social medias that pick up on Fridays and the weekends but I will save that for another time. 
3. Using Hashtags in your Bio.  Again with the Hashtags see a theme here hehe.  If you don't already have them  then go right now and add hashtags to your bio.  Why you ask ?  Well with hashtags in your bio you become easier to find during searches those hashtags will come up.  So Hashtag away.
4. Make List when you are first starting it is fun to see your followers or who you are following come up on your feed.  But as time goes on and followers grow you want to be able to separate them into list. This makes it easier to find and connect with a fellow Tweeter.  It is recommended that you start sorting your list early on before it becomes overwhelming.  (Hmmm guess who is spending the weekend sorting list). 
5. Use visuals:  Tweets with Images are 94% more likely to be ReTweeted.  So add those pics show the tweeters what you are doing.
Well I think that is enough info for today I know my head is spinning.
