Sticking with the T Tuesday theme…Twitter it is!
No lions, tigers and bears oh my! here
More like Twitter, hashtags, tribes, support and challenges oh my!
Some may think that Twitter is a waste of time, some may still not grasp what it’s all about.
But, reality is a lot can be done on Twitter…
From tweeting with friends, to brand awareness, and for support & motivation.
The fitness tribe uses Twitter for moral support and challenges (some good hashtags to follow are #fitfluential, #fitblog, #mamavation, #fitness, #fitstudio, #livewellnow #wellnesschat and fairly new is #befitchat)
Runners have #runchat and when there are big marathons, 5Ks and half marathons (#rundisney is one, #BostonMarathon, #RWNYC was used for the most recent New York City Marathon) you’ll find people tweeting support to those running.
Some use Twitter for challenges.
I recently made use of #fitfor2012 for a Fit for 2012 Challenge and now using #justdoitjanuary for the Just Do It January Challenge.
Mamavation runs lots of #2weekchallenge that you can find on Twitter as well as their site.
These help people stay focused, motivated, gives me them quick daily reminders and keeps them on task!
Many people lack a face to face in person connection with others who share the same interests, goals, aspirations…
this could be because of location, time constraints, etc.
It’s easy and takes seconds to shoot out 140 characters and get the support, motivation you need almost instantly via Twitter.
Utilizing an influencer marketplace drives awareness, cultivates an audience, and bolsters owned media over time.
Companies and brands use social media managers or employees to tackle the responsibility in communicating and building relationships with their target market.
Others use Twitter for parties to promote their product or brand.
The uses for Twitter are endless and cover an expansive area in a miniscule amount of time.
Here’s quick visual of when people use Twitter the most!
Question of the day
What do you use Twitter for?
oooh what fun! thanks for the information about hashtags, and interesting graphs at the end there. I use twitter to meet people, socialize, find new blogs, and promote my beachbody experience.
This was all very interesting to me. I am fairly new to Twitter.
I never search hashtags.
I should start searching/filtering hashtags 🙂
