Twitter-Dee or Twitter-Dum?
I would not call myself a Twitter Expert, By any means. In fact, I probably fall into the Twitter-Dum category... easily! I joined Twitter about 2 years ago, and started actually tweeting last year after attending ReBAR Camp in Raleigh. Still didn't really get it. Actually, I still don't quite get it, but I do get one thing. The power of an AR generated Short URL! My suggestion to all of you is to:
- Post Hyper-Local Posts to Activerain (or whatever blogging platform you choose).
- Generate a short URL code (easy peasy on AR)
- Tweet about the event or whatever it is and add the short URL code
- Wait for the followers to come in!
Like I said, I am no Twitter Expert. I don't even understand how it works. But..... I have found that everytime I tweet using a short URL from a Hyper-Local Post on AR, I get followers on Twitter. The followers are local residents, business owners, magazine editors, etc. Not only do they follow, but often times.... they retweet and it just blossoms & grows from there!
Remember, you don't need to be a Twitter Expert to make it work for you. Let the power of the Rain assist you and take advantage of those Handy Dandy Short URL Codes AR Offers!
You can also monitor the number of clicks on your Short URL Codes through AR. Just head to your home page on ActiveRain, Click on Statistics, and you will see every blog post you've ever written with number of views, number of clicks and number of Short URL Clicks! Pretty cool stuff there!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email anytime.... I'll help as much as I can!
