— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
Twitter is an awesome platform to get to meet cool new people – like you all – and expand your network! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A3. Yesterday marked my 6th year on Twitter. It has played a significant impact in my professional growth including @aprilemaye helping me this week is a perfect example. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) June 25, 2018
I have made numerous connections & received great support & encouragement from Twitter chats. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) June 25, 2018
ST: The chats are unquestionably the best feature on Twitter. Have developed very close friendships and business contacts. For an introvert, it’s pretty amazing. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 25, 2018
As a fellow introvert, I agree. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) June 25, 2018
Agreed! And extroverts, like me, love chats too! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
Twitter has become my favorite platform because you can connect with anyone and it has great capabilities to grow your network and business #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #SoMe trainer (@FuhsionMktg) June 25, 2018
I really like the ability to view current events and commentaries from the Twitter community. Sometimes the opinions get “colorful”, however, there are some really good insights and perspectives. #GoalChat
— Dan MacDougall (@Dan_MacDougallx) June 25, 2018
With my other Twitter account (@DonNadeau) have interacted with so many incredible people over 9 years. Some of us have become like family & so very supportive of each other. This is in addition to business advantages such as increased brand awareness. #goalchat
— DrVoyageur.com (@DrVoyageur) June 25, 2018
A big reason why I started #GoalChat was to meet/get to know new peeps, so I can help, encourage, and motivate more peeps

Types of Twitter Content
Q3. What types of content do you post on #Twitter? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/l5lddImvkI
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A3. In addition to #GoalChat I like to share helpful links, motivate, and connect with others. @WriteOnOnline is more writing related and events, and @TheDEBMethod more biz and personal motivation. #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A3. My personal account (this one) is a smorgasbord of randomness. Movies, music, and random musings.
My business account is exclusively for grant-related content and client interaction. #GoalChat
— Raylan Givens (@CERVEZAmasFINA) June 25, 2018
A3. Encouragement and/or congratulations messages, career advice, quotes to encourage and inspire as well as responses to Twitter chats. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) June 25, 2018
A3: I share content revolving around social media, but need to create more of my own #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #SoMe trainer (@FuhsionMktg) June 25, 2018
A3) I don’t think of Twitter as a content platform. I see it as more of a relational platform, so I only post tweets that are designed to be supportive and relationship-building, whether personal or professional. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 25, 2018
A3. Writing tips, updates, thoughts, research questions. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) June 25, 2018
A3) it depends on my mood – I retweet things I find interesting; I comment on my day or on things I’ve read about in the news; and chat with people too. #GoalChat
— AndromedaTrance (@andromedatrance) June 25, 2018
A3. Certainly not a preponderance of in-your-face sales pitches & mini press releases. #goalchat pic.twitter.com/dgGj1a5VpA
— DrVoyageur.com (@DrVoyageur) June 25, 2018
Favorite Twitter Feature
Q4. What is your favorite #Twitter feature? Videos? Lists? How do you use them? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/Mig1RArStj
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A4. I love lists. They are great for staying organized, but also to put like ideas and people together, like #goalchat peeps
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A4. I have used lists, polls. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) June 25, 2018
A4: Lists, private and public, to keep me organized and share topics of value with others #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #SoMe trainer (@FuhsionMktg) June 25, 2018
A4. I like the ability to integrate my personal 📸 with other apps to connect my brands as well as my messaging. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) June 25, 2018
A4) I got dressed down by an “influencer” “thought leader” for saying this previously, but I’m sticking with the chats as the best feature. I was “informed” that chats were not a “feature.” If I know how to use it and it helps me – it’s a feature!. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 25, 2018
A4b. I think chats are the best part of Twitter. It brings together likeminded people on a topic of interest. Plus, it encourages bonding! #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A4) That I can get news from around the world almost as soon as it happens and that I can comment on people’s tweets I wouldn’t normally be allowed to give the time of day to! #GoalChat
— AndromedaTrance (@andromedatrance) June 25, 2018
Q4. Do I dare say here among all the writers that a picture is worth a thousand words? 🙂 (if relevant) #goalchat
— DrVoyageur.com (@DrVoyageur) June 25, 2018
I agree. I think conversations with like-minded people was the initial intent for all social media—until advertising took over. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) June 25, 2018
Twitter Advice
Q5. What advice do you have for those getting started with #Twitter? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/XhMsFmRJvL
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A5. Don’t get overwhelmed. Create a complete profile – include bio, profile and header pics, link – and start following people of interest. Then, spend a few minutes a day connecting, listening, and responding. And don’t be too sales. Just talk. #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 25, 2018
A5. Be consistent and do not try to be everything to everyone to increase your followers. Most important, don’t “buy” followers. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) June 25, 2018
A5: Listen to @MadalynSklar podcast #twittersmarter and participate in Twitter Chats to get comfortable using it. Tweet at least 2 times a day when just starting #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #SoMe trainer (@FuhsionMktg) June 25, 2018
A5. Accountability, authenticity and responsibility. You are a brand and you represent something. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) June 25, 2018
A5) 1. Be your real self; do not pretend to be more or different than you are.
2. Exception to #1 – Don’t be an ass. If you are one, change.
3. Be prepared to engage, and if you start something – see it through.
4. Be open to new relationships and ideas. #GoalChat— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 25, 2018
A5) Have fun with it. Remember you are on a public forum and try not to have Twitter fights with anyone because people will judge you! #GoalChat
— AndromedaTrance (@andromedatrance) June 25, 2018
A5. Some make the big mistake of using one of those “get followers” services that unethically unfollows followers after they follow. Twitter will eventually ban you. #goalchat
— DrVoyageur.com (@DrVoyageur) June 25, 2018
Next Week
