My Twitter journey this week has been an epic road trip rather than a dash down the Whitemud #yeg.
Here are my 7 lessons learnt in 7 days #EXSM5510 #learningjourney #Twitternewbie:
Lesson #1: Writing for Twitter is fun! As a writer by trade, I expected the limitations and type of dialogue to be stifling. Instead, I found it to be dynamic, spontaneous and engaging. đŸ’»đŸ’ĄđŸŽ†
Lesson #2: Timing Tweets is hard. How do I know when the audience I want to engage with is on? Insight from @TicoRomao on timing and scheduling was invaluable!!
