21 “More” Twitter Tips from Pastor Mike

I crossed another milestone on Twitter (in my mind) recently. I marked it with the tweet above (clickable screenshot). I wanted to mark it another way as well by offering a Twitter Tips-Part 2 list. It’s a follow up to another list I wrote last September. (CLICK HERE to read the original 21 Twitter Tips from Pastor Mike)

I’ve learned a lot about using Twitter over 2+ years. There’s something “more” below for both Twitter “gurus” and newbies alike (starting with Twitter Tip #22)…

21 “More” Twitter Tips from Pastor Mike:
(feel free to tweet these yourself~just copy & paste~they are 140 characters or less!)

Tip #22: The single day of the week that the most people access social media is: Saturday. Don’t be AWOL. Big opportunity 4 ministry \o/

Tip #23: Don’t miss the power of Twitter lists. There is an intimacy 2 them where u can spend time w/a smaller group listening&learning.

Tip #24: The most important 1st step (as it is with anything) is not to talk, talk, talk, but to listen, listen, listen ;D

Tip #25: Craft your bio strategically. Many follow based on it. (I know I do.) Be yourself. Be genuine. Be holy ;D

Tip #26: Sometimes it’s just fun 2 sit back & watch the conversations going on.Set up some lists that auto update & take it all in.Enjoy

Tip #27: You never know who’s listening. You never know who’s watching. Your tweets r impacting hearts. Your tweets r changing lives \o/

Tip #28: Men have a harder time gaining followers than women (for obvious reasons). Unless you’re Brad Pitt or Justin Bieber ;P

Tip #29: Don’t take 4 granted that people know u. Introduce urself in tweets & blog posts. Tell us something unique that’s happened 2 u

Tip #30: You could have 1 follower, but if they r ur biggest fan promoting ur stuff with tens of thousands of followers, well… ;D

Tip #31: Twitter can be a lonely place.(It’s true.)Especiallly if ur a newbie. Take 1 under ur wings & teach them the ropes. Be a friend

Tip #32: Tweeting is much more fun as a team. Find someone of like interests & team up w/a common hashtag. Be creative

Tip #33: Ur approach 2 tweeting (social media) is a teaching in itself. There r others who watch what u do & then do it themselves ;D

Tip #34: People will judge (poo poo) ur use of twitter. But if ur goal is 2 rescue sinners, u keep at it w/all ur soul & strength \o/

Tip #35: That tweet of urs just might b the very thing some1 needs 2 hear (even some1 who has a ton of followers). Don’t minimize urself

Tip #36: Just because a person has a lot of followers doesn’t mean he/she has credibility. Character gives credibility. Godly character

Tip #37: They replay songs on the radio & in concert,y would u not repeat a tweet if it was good or had a link 2 an impacting blog post?

Tip #38: Figure out ur twitter “mo.” R u a content producer or content consumer? I am the former. So I approach #twitter differently ;D

Tip #39: Realize ur gonna make mistakes.I’ve been suspended,broken #twitter following limits,u name it~just trying 2 reach people 4 Christ

Tip #40: Some people will get upset w/what u have 2 say (especially if ur serving Christ). U don’t have 2 respond 2 them. U just don’t

Tip #41: Just because somebody didn’t tweet u back in response to 1 of ur tweets doesn’t mean they didn’t c it or weren’t impacted by it

Tip #42: There will b people that ur their encouragement 2 go on, ur their hope in a darkened world. Make ur tweets count

Feel free to add your own “Twitter Tips” in the comment section. I might put them together in a Part 3 and give you credit? That would be cool. ;D
