Twitter seems to have a bigger learning curve and intimidation factor for people than other platforms, so this TweetSheet will be helpful in figuring out the language, etiquette, and how to get results in just 140 characters in a blindly-fast social network.
Whether you’re a Twitter newbie or veteran, you can use this TweetSheet for better results. How?
New to Twitter? Use this infographic as a checklist: tackle one item at a time and check it off your list. I advise my clients to give themselves the gift of time when it comes to mastering a social network, so try a new tactic every day, and at the end of one quarter, you’ll be a Twitter ninja!
Veterans can use it to create unique marketing campaigns that out-innovate their competition. By randomly selecting tactics from each category, you’ll develop creative promotional strategies never-before used together, and that alone guarantees your brand will get noticed.
