If I had a dime for every time someone said, “I just don’t get Twitter,” I could totally quit my day job. While Twitter is one of the easiest social media platforms to use, some really seem to struggle with how to use Twitter to engage with and grow their audience. In this post, I’ll share a few tips to get you started and engage more. But first, let me give a little background on Twitter and it’s purpose.
Twitter is a real-time social media platform that allows you to share ideas and information in a 140-character status update called a tweet. Businesses and brands use Twitter to share information about their products and services, and build relationships with their customers directly. As a blogger, Twitter is a great tool to interact directly with your readers, and share you latest posts and videos with them. Hashtags are also used in tweets, which allows you to search for content and find others who are talking about the same thing.
Ready to jump into the Twitter-verse? Here are my 5 tips to increase Twitter engagement. These tips are simple to incorporate, but are sure to have an impact on your Twitter account.
Great tips! There are a couple that I need to be better at! #BLMgirls
I love these tips. Okay… so the thing with me is that IG is where I shine. It took me forever to join but after a few days, I was hooked. No problems engaging there. I do connect all my channels together but I don’t actually tweet as often as I’d like to. Fact is, social media can be a big time-waster if I’m not careful. First, it was FB, now IG (I’ve gotten way better though LOL!). To be honest, I’m scared that I’ll spend far too much time on that thing and get nothing else done.
Twitter chats that I’m interested in always seem to fall on days and times when I’m not available. So… what’s a girl to do?! I’m good w/ all but that & tweeting when my audience is active. *shrug*

Wow these are great tips! Concise and to the point! Thank you!! #BLMGirl
These are great tips! When I first got on twitter (about a year and a half ago) I was really successful with building my followers and getting good engagement. But, then I took a break for a few months and now I’m feeling lost on how to get the engagement back. I especially love the tip about getting on during major TV shows. I’ll try that one this week. #blmgirls
These are some great tips. So many people just don’t get twitter and how it is such a wonderful and useful tool.
