We invited our friends from Hootsuite to come on the chat and kick it off by answering one pressing question about Twitter marketing.
Ask @hootsuite: What is a pinned tweet and why should I do this? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/yvmprLjD7x
— Madalyn Sklar ? (@MadalynSklar) October 26, 2017
1|3 A pinned tweet is a tweet of yours that you select to be featured at the top of your profile (usually its a good one) #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/0x0O5qiwiJ
— Hootsuite (@hootsuite) 26 October 2017
2|3 Because this is limited and prime real estate on your profile, you'll want to make the most of it. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/D3ppxcugV3
— Hootsuite (@hootsuite) 26 October 2017
3|3 Pin a tweet that is converting exceptionally well, that you're proud of, or one that explains who you are to new people! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/M2ZrAEWAV4

Q1: Can you really put your Twitter profile on “auto-pilot” with automation tools? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/aVyAeRHpZK
— Madalyn Sklar ? (@MadalynSklar) October 26, 2017
A1: Hell no! Can you put your customer support on auto-pilot? Or your blog? Or your marriage? 😀 #TwitterSmarter
— Emeric Ernoult (@eernoult) October 26, 2017
The next time I hear "I want to put my social media presence on auto-pilot", I'll go mad 😉 #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/aLKk5CfHpJ

My long rant on the automation topic https://t.co/e1u3386yfO #TwitterSmarter
— Emeric Ernoult (@eernoult) October 26, 2017
A1: You can put your Twitter profile on "auto-pilot" with automation tools but it's a bad idea. You want to be social! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/QON40qMJDj
— Madalyn Sklar ? (@MadalynSklar) October 26, 2017
A1: Imagine how terrible Twitter would be if everyone put it on auto-pilot. Engagement should always dominate your Twitter. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/QON40qMJDj
— Madalyn Sklar ? (@MadalynSklar) October 26, 2017
A1: Simple answer – NO. Twitter is all about engagement…personal, thoughtful, responsive engagement. #TwitterSmarter
— Hey Dip Your Toes In (@dipyourtoesin) 26 October 2017
A1 Going on auto-pilot removes true conversation with fellow tweeters #twittersmarter

— Lisa ???? (@lisaboylesmedia) 26 October 2017
A1: You can use automation tools to schedule self-promotion and curated content, but I wouldn't recommend it for engagement. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) October 26, 2017
A1. In theory, yes – but this takes away from the humanizing factor and can discourage people from checking out your profile #TwitterSmarter
— Chris Muccio (@CFOStrategist) 26 October 2017
A1: Automation tools are great for maintaining a consistent flow of content, but twitter is something that can never be fully automated. The structure needs to be flexible and allow one to react to trends. #Twittersmarter
— Logan Robins (@LoganAtWork) 26 October 2017
A1 'Drone' accounts soon fade away. Thousands of posts, no activity. #twittersmarter
— YoPedro (@YoPedro) October 26, 2017

— Laura Denny (@ldcreativemedia) October 26, 2017
A1: Can you? Yes… should you go completely automated? No. Scheduling out some tweets around your content is fine… (1/2) #TwitterSmarter

— Darcy De Leon ? (@darcydeleon) October 26, 2017
A1) You can, but I highly recommend not doing so! That's why I love twitter so much. I want to engage in REAL time and not feel so robotic. #TwitterSmarter
— James Mann ♉️ (@jamesmann23) October 26, 2017
A1: Sure. Automate everything. Then you'll automatically get distrusted, disliked and disconnected. Oops. #TwitterSmarter

A4: They put them on "auto-pilot" and don't pay attention to what they're actually doing #TwitterSmarter
— Emeric Ernoult (@eernoult) October 26, 2017

A4 When all I see are just posts for the day spread out but no engagement at all. They just use page to push & not connect #TwitterSmarter
— Elaine Venter (@el_venter) 26 October 2017
A4: Assuming that automated content will suffice for an actual presence on social. Engagement is KEY, and sometimes they forget that. ?#TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/ALgQSwQPRv

A4. too much self promotion.
Always remember social is for networking NOT advertising.
Offer value first. #TwitterSmarter
— Ai Zhang, Ph.D ? (@aiaddysonzhang) October 26, 2017

— Dhaval Shah (@dhavalgshah) October 26, 2017
A4: They don't listen / personalize, they just post without engaging – Sometimes I think they don't have the right person #twittersmarter

A7: I hate auto-DMs!!!! They need to go. I hear they are. It's about time! Time to stop the spamming! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/9FL9fqXND6
— Madalyn Sklar ? (@MadalynSklar) October 26, 2017
A7: Too many people are sending auto-DMs it's hard to know the diff – so when you DM someone, be specific to them! #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) October 26, 2017
A7 Auto-direct messages have given Spam in a can a bad name. #TwitterSmarter
— Jim Katzaman (@JKatzaman) October 26, 2017
A7) Honestly when I follow someone and I get an auto DM I straight hit the delete message w/o reading the message! #TwitterSmarter

— YoPedro (@YoPedro) October 26, 2017
A7: They're tacky, generic, and show a lack of effort. Really leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I receive them. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/y0volYfF5T
— Logan Robins (@LoganAtWork) 26 October 2017
A7. They’re awful. I was saying earlier in the chat that my inbox is full of them & I don’t open any. It’s impersonal AF. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/t1Hy6v2bWb
— Lisa ???? (@lisaboylesmedia) 26 October 2017
