Twitter Best Practices
•
Twitter updates should be a mix of personal updates as well as
promoting your content.
•
Share links to your newest videos on twitter. You can use URL
shorteners to track Click-Through-Rates (CTRs.)
•
@reply power-users on twitter with links to videos they would be
interested in and may re-tweet to their followers. Twitter outreach to
relevant users should accompany your blog outreach.
•
Create unique #hashtags for your channel and always use them in
your tweets; encourage your followers to do the same.
•
Update your twitter feed 1-3 times per day to stay visible in your
followers’ feeds.
