Top tips for using Twitter
Twitter is a useful social media platform for sharing information quickly and potentially reaching a large audience. But like all social media platforms there are some tricks to learn and
- Follow the Citizen Network twitter accounts above and they will follow you back.
- Tell people you are part of Citizen Network by adding the Citizen Network handle (@citizen_network) to your Twitter biography.
- If you want Citizen Network to share your tweets then you must include our handle @citizen_network within the Tweet. This means we'll be notified and we can retweet it and share with all our followers.
- When you write a tweet try to add an image as people tend to notice tweets with images.
- When someone else puts your handle in a tweet then please retweet them this helps the other person and promotes solidarity between citizen Network members.
- Even better - engage with Tweets from Citizen Network and Citizen Network members by Replying and Quoting the Tweet. This shows people you are enthusiastic and engaged.
- Share content from the CN website - there’s lots of stuff and the images are great - tell people why you found something interesting - or let people know if you have a different perspective.
- Follow other Citizen Network members too.
