THREE HASHTAGS & A HOOKY TITLE

Recently I was interviewed by online magazine Thats Journal - Here are some highlights

1) Please tell us more about yourself?

Keith: I am a “Global Twitter Marketing Specialist” from Melbourne, Australia.

I work from home, live 10 minutes from the beach and an hour from the city

( … and never the twain shall meet - lol )

2) How to get more targeted Twitter followers?

Keith: THE BEST WAY TO HAVE FRIENDS IS THE BE ONE!!!

The best way to get followers is to post useful content daily and to actively follow people who you are interested in. When they follow you back engage with them and help them first before asking for anything in return. This is how I have built sooooo many great friendships around the world.

3) How to get more retweets?

Keith: CONTENT – CONTENT – CONTENT

The best way to get retweeted is to share great content. You can also use relevant hashtags to widen your reach but it comes down to how “SHAREABLE” your content is.

4) What is the ideal frequency for scheduling tweets?

Keith: FIRST THING IN THE MORNING – LAST THING AT NIGHT

There are a lot of differing opinions on this but most people agree on this basic idea. Some times to try could be:

8am and/or 8pm
10pm (ish) seems to be a POWER TIME in some parts of the world

Other than that have fun with your tweets and try different times to “SEE WHAT HAPPENS”.

5) What are the ingredients required for a perfect tweet?

Keith: THREE HASHTAGS & A HOOK

I have played around with this FORMULA for a while now and it works pretty well. Many people believe 3 hashtags is too many and I totally respect that. 2 to 3 hashtags is about right – anymore than that and your tweet will lose their effectiveness. Mind you – I do that all the time ( Just for fun – lol ). Creating “HOOKY TITLES” really is the essence of my Twitter Strategy. Just like the chorus of a really great song – Something SHORT & SWEET that “HOOKS” you into the song.

6) What are the advantages of creating lists in Twitter?

Keith: LISTS ARE AMAZING!!

You can now have 1000 lists with 5000 in each. Up to “5 MILLION CONTACTS” ( … if you had the time to do it – lol ). Lists are such an AWESOME way to segment your followers into location, interests (etc – etc).

7) Many SMBs and SMEs are skeptical about using Twitter

What are your thoughts about this?

Keith: TWITTER IS THE BUZZ BUILDER

Twitter doesn’t suit everyone ( or every business ) and many people actively dislike it but it is sooooo amazing for generating traffic. It’s well worth considering as a strategy to get more ENGAGEMENT and is especially beneficial for building momentum for:
