Let’s Get Started!
11 Twitter Tips and Tricks
No One Told You About.
Until Now!
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
1. Pre-Schedule Tweets Right From Twitter
•	 Save time
•	 Plan Ahead
•	 Schedule your
day/week/month
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
Schedule Organic & Paid Tweets
Scheduling just gets better.
Not only can you schedule your Regular Tweets (organic),
you can also schedule your Paid Tweets.
Useful for scheduling relevant content for
live television events.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
3 Simple Steps:
•	Login at: ads.twitter.com
•	Click ‘Compose Tweet’
•	Go to the Scheduling Tab
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
2. Never Start A Tweet With @Username. Ever.
It’s a BIG MISTAKE!
When you start with the “@” symbol,
your ‘Tweet’ becomes a ‘Reply’ and will
ONLY BE SEEN by:
•	the person you’re sending the tweet to
•	users who are following BOTH of you
@?
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
PRO TIP: Start Your Tweet with Anything But “@”
ANYTHING BUT @!
Literally starting with ANYTHING ELSE will work,
you can even start with something as simple as a period.
(example: .@username)
This way you ensure your Tweets get
the most reach and exposure.

4. Setup Multiple Accounts With The Same Email
Setup Multiple Accounts
Using Same Email
If you have a Gmail account, it allows
you to use the ‘+’ character to let you
filter your main email.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
For example, my email address is veepopat@gmail.com.
If I use veepopat+twitter@gmail.com on any
website, any email sent to the ‘new’ email
would go to my veepopat@gmail.com inbox!
Every social media “guru” likely manages multiple Twitter
accounts. Each with its own email address. This can suck.
Try yourself! Send an email to
yourGmailusername+whatever@gmail.com.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
5. Turn Off All Twitter Emails With A Single Click
Twitter emails can be annoying.
We’ve all been there before. Way too many notifications.
Just turn all of them off with 1 click.
Login, Go to Settings  Click on ‘Email notifications’ tab.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
PRO TIP: Keep Key Notification Emails
You May Want to Keep a Few...
Why keep notification emails from Twitter when you
already get Twitter notifcations on your phone or while
Logged In to Twitter or a 3rd party client?
Better safe than sorry! The average lifespan of a Tweet is
said to be 18 minutues. Best to reply asap.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
6. You Can Embed Tweets On Any Website
Drive Traffic Back To Your Profile
How?
Embedded Tweets are fully interactive.
This means that Twitter users can engage
with your content directly.
People can follow you, retweet, favourite,
or reply without having to leave your website.
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
Twitter Embeds look much sexier than a screenshot
Do it:
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
7. Pin A Tweet To The Top Of Your Timeline
Highlight Key Content!
Anyone can pin any tweet to the top of
their profile, where it will sit permanently
until it’s unpinned or replaced.
Pin:
•	Click ‘more’
•	Choose ‘Pin to your profile page’
•	Click ‘Pin’ (on the Pop-Up)
Un-Pin:
•	Click ‘more’
•	Choose ‘Unpin from profile page’
@VeePopat | vpdm.ca
PRO TIP: Pin Timely Content, Not Evergreen Content
Spotlight Time Sensitive Stuff
Pinning a Tweet to the top of your
timeline is a great way to ensure users
will see your time sensitive content.
If not, that tweet could disappear
deeper and deeper down your timeline.
