On Twitter, you can easily follow people you don’t know. It’s easier than on other social media channels. This allows you to quickly expand your network. This is why many great initiatives emerge on Twitter.
To discover who you can follow, you can, of course, search for specific terms. But what I enjoy more is scoping out the followers of my followers. If I see an interesting account, I’ll first check out what they’re tweeting. And if it matches what I’m looking for or like, I’ll follow them. I often respond to a tweet from them right away, as a kind of introduction. “Yay, I’m now one of your followers.” This way, it’s relatively easy to keep your timeline organized, by the way.
It is an inexhaustible source of inspiration
From the quickest way to peel garlic to the best marketing courses, Twitter offers an endless source of inspiration. You can send out a tweet or poll phone number list and ask your followers for advice, or search for #. Using the settings on the right (see image below), you can narrow your search to ensure you get relevant results.
It’s a hyper-personalized news site
“You hear it first on Twitter,” and that’s certainly true. Statistics show that a quarter of Twitter accounts belong to journalists . Personally, I like to keep an eye on trends. Do check the settings, though; I like to stay informed about what’s happening around me. Whether you want that or not, you can adjust it yourself.
It is the ear that always listens
Are you nervous? Sad? Happy? Share it and you’ll get support—at least that’s been my experience. I became more active on Twitter after my breakup. I really appreciate the idea that there’s always someone who will respond and want to engage in conversation or share their story. Now, I do want to go back to what I said earlier: keep your timeline engaging. Be really selective about who you follow, and don’t hesitate to block or mute an account. That way, you can truly create a supportive Twitter bubble with followers. Often, that even extends from online to real life .
It makes you think more creatively about your message
280 characters or more isn’t enough. Tweeting forces you to quickly get to the point and think creatively about your message, especially if you use Twitter for business. That can help with more things. I don’t quite think in tweets yet, but I often think, “How can I say this in one sentence?” It increases my focus.
