Last week I spoke about Instagram and
how to help is spread your message and expand your platform. This week,
Twitter.
Twitter has about 271 million users,
compared to 1 billion on Instagram. (I just looked that up). Even with far
fewer users, it is still essential to utilize Twitter as a platform to get your
platform expanded.
As with Instagram, hashtags are essential. Without those,
your post will probably not been seen by your target.

All
of these can also be used on Instagram, so keep track of them. The major
drawback with twitter is the length of your post, 280 characters. This includes
your hashtags. So, when making posts, remember the hashtags and make sure you
plan ahead of time. The limit does not apply to images you want to include.
Lately,
when I post on Twitter, I try to include an image, it helps draw attention to
your post. Remember, people are visual animals, so adding a picture will
improve that your tweet will be seen.
Many
other platforms, such as Instagram, and blogs, have an option to also send out
a tweet fro your new post. I share my blog posts on Twitter, as well. But, you
have to add the hashtags yourself.
There
are different tools you can use to schedule your Twitter posts; I have not used
any of those yet. https://twittimer.com/
Seems like the one that is used a good deal; it also offers you an option to
schedule Facebook posts.
Twitter can be used on either your computer or
your phone. So, the significant benefit there is no third party is needed to
use it on your computer like with Instagram.
Please subscribe
to my blog. I post content on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am using this
platform to help out other Indie Authors as I move through the self-publishing
maze.
