Twitter: maximizing your time on the feed

Over the past two weeks we have talked a lot about twitter. I am a pretty big fan and have been using it for some time now. Over the years I have created a system that helps me maximize my time on the app while increasing the impact it has on me professionally. This post will show two of my tips.

Quick Tips - Efficient Use

Log into your twitter account.

Click on an account you follow, make sure it is one that offers some powerful ideas.

There are a few buttons near the top of the screen that hide the twitter gold.

Click Likes.

Anything the account likes will appear once you click this button.

Scroll down.

This is the best place to find twitter gold.

Scroll down to see who they follow.

Click follow on the accounts you think will add value to your account.

Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out.
