Are u new to #twitter? Still working on your first tweet? Do this 1st..

So many people join twitter because of peer preasure or because everyone is talking about it but stare at the “Compose Tweet” box & have no idea what to post & give up on twitter…


Follow a Hashtag of an event, movie, topic or anything you have ever scene that had # in front of..

Wait did I lose you….

What is this Hashbrown, hash mark, pound tag thing you speak of???

Hashtags are extremely awesome powerful & often misused and overused but I won't go into that rant right now..

Every show & event has a hashtag which allows people interested in reading what people are saying about that show or event to see what people are saying without following every person on the internet.

Simply type the POUND SIGN aka #HASHTAG in the search box:

While typing this NBC had the Winter Classic Hockey game on across the top of screen it had the hashtag: #WinterClassic

You will now see any & all posts that people share using the hashtag… The amount of updates will depend on the popularity of the event…

Following #WinterClassic hashtag in my example… You don’t have to follow any of these accounts to see the posts!

You can now hear what others are saying on twitter about the event your watching and you are officially USING TWITTER!!!

The next steps are:

  1. If someone using that hashtag is saying things you are interested in feel free to follow them or favorite the post…
  2. If the conversation sparks your interest feel free to post your own tweet but make sure to type in the hashtag so others following the event will see your post…

If you follow these steps you will skip the scary questions for newbies…

What do I post on Twitter? Who do I follow? How do I see others posts?

Hopefully this helps you join the Twitter PARTY that so many of us have learned to enjoy so much!

Follow me & ask me any questions you might have… I would be glad to help!
