2. Make Twitter
Great Again

3. Twitter doesn’t work for me
Twitter isn’t important
I don’t have time for Twitter
Having a lot of followers doesn’t matter

4. Twitter isn’t dead
or dying…..

5. Twitter doesn’t work if you don’t use it.
Twitter is a social media.
Social Media is supposed to be social.

6. *Work Smarter Not Harder*
Use tools and apps to make
your workflow easier

7. Use Buffer for scheduling your tweets
-for $102 a year you can schedule 100 tweets at a time
-build your schedule with time slots when you want your
tweets scheduled
-add the Chrome Extension for Buffer(doesn’t work on mobile)

8. Where do I find material to Tweet?
Build Twitter Lists (or copy someone elses)
-brands you worked with
-brands you want to work with
-places you want to travel to
-travel friends

9. When do I schedule my Tweets?
-in the morning schedule your travel and friends
tweets throughout the day up until 12 am
-in the evening schedule group tweets that you
don’t really care about between 12 am – 6 pm

11. Where do I find people
willing to share my Tweets?

that don’t follow me back?

you back and those that may have unfollowed you.

twitter following with real people

want to work with

engage with their tweets when appropriate
