Tricks of the Trade

Twitter will automatically shorten URLs to save characters.

© 2014 The Karen Martin Group, Inc. 19

Add a character in front of a message that begins with a user name if you want all to see the Tweet

“Pinned Tweet” – Appears 1st on Profile

• Pro’s and con’s re: developing a singular

persona (brand)

• Be careful – it’s public information!

– Don’t Tweet while angry, drinking, etc.

• Have fun learning & engaging!
