GET FOUND WITH HASHTAGS

Unlike Facebook, on Twitter you can tweet numerous times a day. It is not uncommon for a business to tweet 10/15 times per day. Just remember to make your tweets meaningful and to include a link or photo. Tweets with photos or video receive more engagement.

Join conversations relevant to the interests of your followers by using hashtags (e.g. #realestate).

WHAT IS A RETWEET (RT)? DIRECT RT

TURN OFF RTS If your Twitter Stream becomes too overwhelming you can turn off other user’s Direct RTs, which will minimize the amount of messages in your Twitter Stream

A repost or forward of another user’s tweet directly to your Twitter Stream.
