Top Seven Twitter Chats For Starters

By Cheval John

Here are some statistics to think about:

-Social media users have risen by 176 million in the last year-Brand Watch

-Online adults aged 18-34 are most likely follow a brand via social networking-Marketing Sherpa.

In 2016, there were 2.3 billion active social media users-Brand Watch.

Among the above statistics, Twitter users are about 350 million.

Yet, that platform allows you to interact with people in real time.

And the majority of journalists are on Twitter.

You can interact with them on a daily basis and they will notice your giving spirit.

That is how entrepreneurs like Josh Elledge, founder of Upend PR got to be on media outlets across the country.

Side note: Diane Gottsman is in my mind the best teacher on how to be a giver because she shares advice on etiquette that has made her a media resource.

One way to share value with your potential customers is to participate in Twitter Chats.
