50+ Suggestions for What to Tweet
Keys to Success:
*Variety i.e. link to articles, use text only, link to pictures, link to videos, link to sound clips, RTs, conversations with
people – mix it up!

*Monitor your account, respond & give thanks when appropriate

*Be genuinely interested in getting to know & helping others

Ideas:
•Favorite quote/inspirational/positive thought/video OR share a quote from something you heard from a
video/movie/documentary/TedX talk/TV

•Link to a blog article – or better yet – link to a blog article that you have added a thoughtful comment to – especially
one that doesn’t have a ton of comments yet (link the comment back to your Twitter profile)

•Retweet – try to add your own two cents/add value – idea/thought/opinion/insight – always make sure you give credit
to the original author/tweeter

•Tweet your own blog articles

•Ask for feedback

•Thank people when they retweet you, list you, mention you, #followfriday/#FF you, or share your content

•Provide your expert opinion (no sales pitch!) –Be helpful/educational/informative

•Share about how someone has helped you in real life, and thank them publicly & include the #yyj hashtag

•Make a prediction or a wish

•Share ideas/tips from a conference you attend (from your smart phone) or after the fact from your notes

•Ask a question – Does anyone know how to… Can anyone suggest/recommend a good… How has Twitter changed your
life, if at all? Include relevant hashtags to widen your audience i.e. use #yyj for Victoria

•Scan streams for your industry or city for interesting conversation & see where you can jump in to comment/contribute
i.e. #socialmedia or #yyj OR answer someone’s question

•Promote local events, or events in your industry – even if you can’t be at a conference you want to go to, follow the
hashtag for the event & pitch in (ask questions, contribute ideas/thoughts) i.e. #smcv11 or #blogworld

•Share new studies/white papers or other relevant industry research
•Promote virtual events – webinars, tweet chats

•From Chris Brogran: Instead of answering the question, “What are you doing?”, answer the question, “What has your
attention?”

•Share your work – case studies, success stories, images, etc.
•Invite someone to have coffee in real life and/or go to a local tweetup –check www.Meetup.com in your city – no
group yet? Start your own!

•When you are traveling to a new city, connect with tweeps in advance or simply ask for advice/tips about the area

•Start a conversation specifically with the goal of building a strategic alliance – who already has the audience you want?
How can you help them? Co-create something? Write an article together?

•Tweet a photo of something you are doing right now from your smart phone – NEW Twitter photo sharing
feature/YFrog/TwitPic/Flickr/TwitVid OR share someone else’s content from one of these sites

•Give someone a compliment – be genuine – i.e. I like your funny Twitter Bio, cool video on your website, I enjoyed
visiting with you at the Tweetup

•Link to an interesting Wikipedia article/fact

•Link to a short audio clip i.e. http://audioboo.fm/ (iPhone & Android app – clips 5 min or less) –sing a song, say your
favorite inspirational quote, tell a short story, share something interesting that happened to you that day

•Share something from your personal life –i.e. hobbies, pets, favorite song, favorite recipe, hidden talent (keep it G
rated!), something people might not know about you that’s interesting, travel, people you have met, family, community
involvement, video you love that inspires you i.e. your favorite TedX talk http://www.ted.com/talks -tell us why you

•Run a contest

•Share a great tutorial video about how to do something – someone else’s or your own –can use Jing (see above) to do
