1. Share your latest post
You can auto-share your post when it gets published, but make it a point to manually share it as well. Set aside a 30-minute slot of time to share it and interact with people.
2. Take this time to reply to any mentions of your name.
3. Search questions or terms that your post answers. Answer the question.
One way to find people that want to read your post is to search for questions. What is your post about? Search #help, #question, #frustrated, and then your topic. For instance, if you have a plumbing business, search #help + plumbing or something similar. These are live questions that you can help people with.
Don’t leave a link to your blog post in the answer unless it directly relates (is helpful) to the question being asked. People will be grateful for your tips and check out your profile. There they can click on your link or read your posts which link to your blog post.
4. Share your post directly with influencers you are connected with (@mention) them.
Share your post directly with influencers you are connected with (@mention) them. Click To TweetDon’t just spam influencers your post (big NO-NO). After creating a relationship with them on Twitter either by joining a chat or having a back and forth conversation, you can share a link to your latest post. Granted this works better if it is something beneficial to their audience.

5. Share a picture graphic with the title of your post, emotional image, and link it back to your blog post.
Let’s use a plumbing business as an example again. A frustrated mom with a plunger in her hand along with a line of 3 children wanting to use the facilities will grab the attention of those who have this problem or have experienced this problem. Add a title along with your logo/URL and share it along with the link to the blog post that solves this problem.
6. Share on Just Retweet
This is a tool I use to get retweets for posts I want to get more traction on. Here’s a video tutorial by Michelle of Girl Blogger Next Door.

I never thought of searching about the question your post might answer. Good suggestion! #BloggersPitStop

Hope this weekend treats you kindly. 🙂

Hi, Donna. Thank you for stopping in from Blogger’s Pit Stop. I’m really enjoying Kathleen’s linkup. I’m finding so many excellent writers/bloggers. Twitter, just like many social platforms grows and along with it, our knowledge of how to use it.

Very helpful tips! I’m working on building my Twitter engagement, so this comes just in time for me. I’m still a little lost on Twitter chats. How exactly do you join them? Thanks for your help.

Hi, Fabiola. Twitter chats are definitely something you need to get used to. I remember my first chat and how confused I was. I usually join Twitter chats on third party sites like Twubs or Twchat. It makes following the conversation easier, plus you can control how fast (slow) the feed goes because it can go pretty fast.
