My experience with
using Twitter as usual is confusing and without a reciprocal interaction
between tweeters it becomes boring and demotivating. Fortunately my
notification icon was beeping from minutes of tweeting a of couple post. Since
the topic of my blog is weddings I started by using hashtags similar to the
topic and also “hashtagged” my blog’s name as an introduction.
A tip I would
recommend on using when deciding on which hashtag to use, is to check on left
tool bar on a PC where there is a list of Trending hashtags. It is ideal that
you use one of the hashtags since it depicts that it is being used and reviewed
by most tweeters. So in experimenting, I included the most popular hashtag of
the day and incorporated it with an article I found online.
So as seen
#ItsPerfectDay was trending and I used that with an article about how to infuse
cultures at a wedding hence creating the “perfect day”. Although this post had
been favorite three times it is the most likes I’ve received in a short time
(18 minutes) ever since I am using Twitter. Relevant hashtags gives you
exposure based on your topic, the audience can identify you and add you to
groups which I did not know existed. After using #love #LoveWins I was invited
to join a group of similar interest.
Twitter generates
audiences for your blog, by citing your blog or blog post within the tweets it
gives your work worldwide exposure. #visit is most effective in inviting people
to view your work. The Twitter Advanced Search facilitates users to view works
of similar topic since all hashtags is a directory of past post itself. It
makes it easier to create an environment to follow bloggers of similar
interests and to retweet posts that uplifts your motives or is knowledgeable in
relevance to cultural nuptials.
Although it is
termed micro-blogging, Twitter generates most traffics of interaction compared
to a blog, the fact that it could be PC or a mobile app that continually
updates you on different events makes it an even bigger platform hosting a
proliferation of information. These vast and different posts allows one to come
up with subjects to include in the blog with relations to the topic. By
retweeting the above statement I can write a post about the gastronomy
experience when it’s a mixed wedding, a subject I did not think of.
