Tips for (Arch)Dioceses on Twitter
Just a few tips to help you guys make your Twitter accounts more valuable:
- Follow other people, especially those who have enough interest to follow you — but make sure that you don't blindly follow back others - you can choose to not follow someone/some organization if that person/organization shouldn't seem to be connected to you. Twitter is a social network—follows should be somewhat reciprocal...
- Post something to your Twitter account; at least a little welcome message. An empty account makes it look like you had a vision for a Twitter account, but didn't follow through.
- Tweet something - post something at least once a week or so. If nothing else, link your website's news feed to it using HootSuite. Give followers something to see!
- Read this article by @archstl - it has some good tidbits in it :-)
