— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A1a: As I’ve said on a lot of these, no other platform has lower barriers to access than Twitter. Want to catch someone’s attention? Tweet at them. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/DtFHKzI0Ea
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018

— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018

— Rachel Miller (@rachelloumiller) July 5, 2018

— Neil Parekh #NYTReadalong (@neilparekh) July 5, 2018

A2a: I love event hashtags! I love them for networking before, during, and after events. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/kEvGJZBVNY
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018

— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018

— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A2d: After an event, you can use the event hashtag to peruse other people’s experiences or observations, make new friends you perhaps didn’t get to see, and keep the follower spike you hopefully got at the event going strong! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/alH4XIme0h
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A2: I love to connect with upcoming event attendees and speakers using the official event hashtag. It's so powerful to get this opportunity as your prepare for the event. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/PkGHDAmvSe
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A2: EXACTLY!! If I can attend a conference or event, I'll hop on the hashtag during it so that I can connect and feel like I'm part of what's happening. It helps prevent FOMO! #TwitterSmarter
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018

— Lisa ???I like big gifs & I cannot lie (@lisaboylesmedia) July 5, 2018
A2 if you can meet IRL, it is a powerful way to strengthen the online relationship. Just look at how #SMMW18 brought so many of us together? #TwitterSmarter
— Gene Petrov // Leadership & Marketing Consulting (@GenePetrovLMC) July 5, 2018
A2: @MadalynSklar LOVE Twitter for events. You can keep up with sessions you can't attend, connect / meet up with people! #twittersmarter
— Jessie O'Donnell (@JessieO_Donnell) July 5, 2018
A2.
– Live tweeting at conferences is the best way to create connections & to transform online connections to offline meetups
– hashtags create communities
– hashtags allow you to nurture community prior to, during, and after events #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/pAQTJFNCsP
— Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ph.D Digital Learning Evangelist (@aiaddysonzhang) July 5, 2018
A2: Event hashtags provide the “common interest” impetus. People who share that common interest will hopefully find the hastag, migrate to it & converse with those of like interests. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/a9gL3JqqHK
— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) July 5, 2018
A2. Greatly increases the likelihood of meeting at the event and making the connection more impactful #TwitterSmarter

— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #SoMe trainer (@FuhsionMktg) July 5, 2018

— The Two Riveras ?? (@TheTwoRiveras) July 5, 2018
A2 I have met @cgritmon before #SMMW18 because of connecting via an event #
When you're part of a conversation around #, it creates a deeper bond + so much fun for IRL meetups.
I've made so many lovely connections via #VideoReplyDay ?#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/p348wyB2bL
— Zala Bricelj (@ZalkaB) July 5, 2018
A2.1 The benefits of creating connections around hashtags? Community.
Even though it's a Facebook Live event, we have it @Sree's Sunday #NYTReadalong, a weekly look at the NYT. We're starting to get more traction on Twitter as well. #TwitterSmarterhttps://t.co/FKHSpojdlM
— Neil Parekh #NYTReadalong (@neilparekh) July 5, 2018
A2: Creating connections through event hashtags builds hype for the event and anticipation for those using the hashtag. And once you connect via an event hashtag, chances are meeting in real life is inevitable. #TwitterSmarter
— Danielle Mamagona ??♀️ (@PokeyLuWho) July 5, 2018
Q3: What are your tips for taking conversations you spark online to a next level – online and offline? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/48mxlfcNLl
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A3a: If you enjoy an online conversation with someone, connect to them, keep them on your radar, have more conversations with them, and take note of who else joins these conversations, so you can connect with them, too! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/oWtji7mG1h
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A3b: If you’re going to be at the same event, try to meet them IRL. Take a selfie (yup), post, and tag them in it. Keep those connections going – and make them public, to attract more like-minded people from each others’ circles. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/vzSSLOqBWU
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A3c: If you want to collaborate with someone, lay the groundwork: establish a relationship with them first, based on mutual delivery of VALUE. Don’t make an ask right out of the gate. Build a relationship. You may not even NEED to ask; it may just happen! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/bIE2c1ZcIJ
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A3d: Above all, if you want to keep an online relationship going – whether online-only or IRL – be SUPPORTIVE. Like. Comment. Retweet. Congratulate. Be a part of their cheering squad. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/s1KtZGYkp7
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A3: I'm basically echoing what @cgritmon said. Take a selfie with those you connect with. Tag them on social. After the event, reach out and just say Hi. This will help cement your relationships. After all, isn't that what social media is all about? #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/fegNx1v2Ze
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
If we're in the same city, I invite them to join me at the next Houston Social Media Breakfast put on by @kamichat. That is a fun way to connect again and build the relationship. #TwitterSmarter
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A3.
– Create a twitter list, public or private, of people that you connected with. Keep engaging with them & checking out their content.
– In real life, building realtionships takes time. Online is the same!
– Show you care!!!! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/EUmHnjTir6
— Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ph.D Digital Learning Evangelist (@aiaddysonzhang) July 5, 2018
A3 WINNING networking strategy "Identify on #LinkedIn, engage on #Twitter and seal over coffee!" #twittersmarter pic.twitter.com/1GffLXu7Zf
— Chaim Shapiro ? Help you MAXIMIZE LinkedIn ? (@ChaimShapiro) July 5, 2018
A3: Video replies ONLINE are great – you can convey your personality whilst also standing out from the other notifications!
Offline – you could meet for coffee or at a networking event. Meeting offline can lead to collaborations on content! #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) July 5, 2018
A3: Ideally, try to meet in person – This can develop long-lasting relationships, there's nothing like personal connections #twittersmarter
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) July 5, 2018
A3 well, we follow # to find people. And then we can build a strong relationship with people. For instance, today I work with people that I met @ twitter, @ an event. #twittersmarter
— Joana Rita Sousa ? ?? (@JoanaRSSousa) July 5, 2018
A3.
Be proactive.
Be interested.
Be yourself.#TwitterSmarter— Rachel Miller (@rachelloumiller) July 5, 2018
A3: Meet someone on Twitter, say, in a chat centred around a hashtag, interact with them &, when you feel a relationship develop & you follow each other (not as an auto-DM) DM them & take the chat “offline”. That interaction may lead to email & business (maybe). #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/akDystoWVI
— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) July 5, 2018
A3: If we’re in the same city, I always ask to exchange email too so we can set up a time to meet again – it’s a little more “official” than a social connect and spurs action! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/c94QXVIprm
— Rachel Wendte (@rkwendte) July 5, 2018
A3: Follow and connect on other platforms. Ask to have a conversation to build a relationship not sell. Givers Gain! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/fdn1Ppqj3G
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #SoMe trainer (@FuhsionMktg) July 5, 2018
A3. #twittersmarter
Connect, invrst in getting to know the person – meet at conferences, schedule a chat, joing groups, etc. Hey, and if you are lucky enough to click, enjoy a convo over a cup of coffee! ?☕ https://t.co/gBMnqw3BBw
— Natasha G. (@nplusg) July 5, 2018
a3 ?Well I'm this one! Social is About Being SOCIAL. I've recently invited 1 Person / week for a Coffee Skype/G-Hangout Meet & Greet – it's been Awesome @Fuhsionmkg ! #twittersmarter ?
— Debi Norton (@BRAVOMedia1) July 5, 2018
A3. If it's a topic of interest, I ask them to DM me or if I can DM them, then email and eventually coffee irl or virtually. I've met some wonderful people here #TwitterSmarter
— Anna Scheller (@SchellerAnna) July 5, 2018
A3: Connect on other social platforms, and the. In real life if you can. Definitely carry on the conversation after the event is over. If you made a connection there, chances are you’ll connect over other things too. #TwitterSmarter
— Danielle Mamagona ??♀️ (@PokeyLuWho) July 5, 2018
A3) be a good listener, be honest and offer up solutions or feedback to things that add value to the other party. Give freely and don't just jump in and want something. #TwitterSmarter
— Craig Field (@CommsCraig) July 5, 2018
Q4: What are your top tips for live tweeting an event? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/eEuP39BXHc
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A4a: Cut-and-paste and auto-text shortcuts are your best friend. I make a text doc with the speakers’ handles & event hashtag so I can paste those at the end of each Tweet (and I don’t need to go looking up the speaker handle in the moment). #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Vo4nERDS0J
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A4b: I don’t know why I hadn’t been using text auto-correct until @StonehamBooks recently suggested it, but it saved my ass on #RoadToSocial – I made commonly-used phrases, hashtags & handles take me only a few characters to create #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/RMatMcKPiD
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A4c: This is a more advanced tip – but I recently developed the ability to Tweet two-handed (like typing on a keyboard; one thumb per each half of the phone keypad) and it’s been lifechanging. That requires practice, though! #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/d81WbDeYji
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A4d: Above all, remember that live-Tweeting is less about exact quotes and more about exact MEANING. It’s better to tighten up the wording and move on to the next thought rather than obsessing over each & every word they said. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/fbPlyz8rz6
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A4: When I spoke about Twitter Tools at this year's #SMMW18, @cgritmon was sitting on the front row live tweeting everything I said. It was AWESOME! This is what speakers ❤️ from the audience. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/89KIqJamwt
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
At #SMMW18, @cgritmon took my fave photo of me speaking on stage. #priceless #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/xezfYFz8d5
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A4 As a team we often divide and conquer making it easier to stay on top of all the tweets or to have witty banter between a few of our accounts. #TwitterSmarter
— Simply Social Media ?#PRSAicon Speakers (@simplysocialnm) July 5, 2018
A4: Know the event hashtag(s) and know the people to tag that are speaking or planning to attend. Put them in a notepad to reference later, so you don't have to waste time looking that info up (or tagging the wrong people)! #TwitterSmarter
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) July 5, 2018
A4. Ensure you start the day with a full battery. Have your charging cable with you, and invest in a remote charger too.
If you find it easier to live tweet on desktop, do so. Let Twitter be your note taking, and hit ‘draft’ for anything you don’t want shared. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/fYaVFMev1F
— Lisa ???I like big gifs & I cannot lie (@lisaboylesmedia) July 5, 2018
A4: @MadalynSklar Be relevant. Share your "ah-ha" moments, not just everything you hear and see. #twittersmarter
— Jessie O'Donnell (@JessieO_Donnell) July 5, 2018
A4
– live tweet. Especially if you can become a top tweeter like @cgritmon, you gain great visiblity.
– I got a big shoutout at this year's #smmw18 b/c of being an active tweeter
– i won a few awesome books at @sree's #smwknd for being a top tweeter. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/Q5BFDVZAAY
— Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ph.D Digital Learning Evangelist (@aiaddysonzhang) July 5, 2018
A4: Using the event's hashtag, Mentioning the hosts in my tweets if I'm tweeting about them, making lists that contains the hosts of the event and the top people tweeting about that event #TwitterSmarter
— Peter Emad (@PeterEmad37) July 5, 2018
A4: Type fast!!??
Pay attention to what others are tweeting; don’t monopolize the convo! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/YFiia3agaZ— Mark Carruthers (@MarkC_Avgi) July 5, 2018
A4. First, make sure you have the management tools you want to use (for me, @hootsuite!). Get everything ready.
Also,
?Make sure you have a personal hotspot in case wifi is overloaded
? Know if you CAN tweet the session (in some cases)
?Have coffee on hand!#TwitterSmarter https://t.co/xgKpmEzE1Z— Karen Freberg, PhD • #SMprof, Consultant + Author (@kfreberg) July 5, 2018
A4 live tweeting at an event can be tough but very worthwhile. It's sometimes tough to keep up but it's great to look back on the hashtag later for tips, soundbites, finding people etc. Full battery, charging cable and battery pack are a must! #TwitterSmarter
— Anna Scheller (@SchellerAnna) July 5, 2018
A4: Let followers know you'll be live tweeting ahead of the event.
Make sure you include the event hashtag. Tag people when applicable.
Share valuable information from the event. #TwitterSmarter
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) July 5, 2018
A4 don’t just quote what the speakers are saying. Share your own point of view. Ask questions. Be relevant. Like #filadafrente does! @filadafrente @browserd @DMPedroVieira #twittersmarter
— Joana Rita Sousa ? ?? (@JoanaRSSousa) July 5, 2018
A4: If you are going to quote a speaker, put your brand identity on the image and make it look cool! The speaker will appreciate the effort and will love to share your design!#TwitterSmarter
— Tony Christensen ? (@InfluencerTony) July 5, 2018
A4)
1) Add the right event hashtags
2) Listen, contribute and join the convo
3) Be honest & respectful
4) Start following session speakers before she event
5) Listen, listen, listen. This is important so I've listed it twice#TwitterSmarter— Craig Field (@CommsCraig) July 5, 2018
Q5: How can you use different types of content to create stories from events that are useful and relatable for your audience? #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/KxtD0IykL5
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A5a: Twitter is how I take notes at events. I always intend to create blog posts afterwards – I rarely do, but if I can find the time, my outline is already there & ready! #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/xZUQCzWiLq
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A5b: Another thing I recently started doing at events is short video interviews with the speakers. It puts a nice cap on the long Tweet thread of their talk, and allows me to ask a question to take it to the next level. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/TryNkNkjcU
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A5c: I also like just capturing my OWN immediate video reactions after a talk, so I can remember exactly what my brain was buzzing with as soon as it ended, as well as summarizing the talk for those who couldn’t be bothered reading my hundreds of Tweets. #TwitterSmarter pic.twitter.com/rbkM0p632m
— ✨Christine Gritmon✨#INBOUND18 speaker (@cgritmon) July 5, 2018
A5: I like to use Twitter Moments for the #TwitterSmarter and #SocialROI chat recaps. People love them. It's a great way to capture the chats for those who missed it. https://t.co/9b0cyobuG6
— Madalyn Sklar ? Learn to Video Like A Rockstar (@MadalynSklar) July 5, 2018
A5:
– Create Twitter moments recapping your tweets as one whole picture at the end of an event.
– Make a video recap.
– Livestream the event and let people in on the action as it is happening. ?#TwitterSmarter— Tony Christensen ? (@InfluencerTony) July 5, 2018
A5 well, after the event you can creat #twittermoments curating tweets that can give the others your point of view on the event #twittersmarter
You also have live videos & pictures to use during the event— Joana Rita Sousa ? ?? (@JoanaRSSousa) July 5, 2018
A5: I take my cues from the conference/event itself. If the organizers are leaning on one platform, I put most of my efforts there, too. Same for kinds of content ie Stories, photos, etc. Matching up means more chances for eyes and more connections. #TwitterSmarter
— Rachel Wendte (@rkwendte) July 5, 2018
A5 Content can be packaged into a blog or Twitter Moment #twittersmarter
— Toby Metcalf: Grillmarks are a sign of character (@Toby_Metcalf) July 5, 2018
a5 I REALLY Like When People at an Event – Take A Picture of a Relevant Slide Share & Tweet it out! Appreciated! #Twittersmarter
— Debi Norton (@BRAVOMedia1) July 5, 2018
A5. I turn them into blog posts, vlogs, live videos etc if I feel my audience will get value from what I heard #TwitterSmarter
— Anna Scheller (@SchellerAnna) July 5, 2018
A5: I like to create moments the day after the conference ends. And, blog about it. Share it! #twittersmarter
— Karen Blumel (@karenblumel) July 5, 2018
A5: If you're a vlogger or have wanted to get into vlogging… I'd recommend creating that kind of content on IGTV!
Vlogs work great from events because there's so many opportunities to collaborate & invite surprise cameos. #TwitterSmarter@martinmoorejr has great IGTV content!
— ?JMatt (@JMattMke) July 5, 2018
A5
– Mix up your content formats
– Do video, moments, text, emoji, gift, etc
– Be creative with your storytelling. don't be a robot. #TwitterSmarter https://t.co/engJ4UBg3w
— Ai Addyson-Zhang, Ph.D Digital Learning Evangelist (@aiaddysonzhang) July 5, 2018
A5
