Have you ever attended a "party" on twitter?
I have been attending for the past year or so and have had so much fun!
You chat with brands and major bloggers - with the chance to win amazing prizes!
You must have a
twitter account to get started, and get to know a tweeting platform you're comfortable with. I use
Tweet Deck as it has worked best for me. However, there are a few others you can try out for yourself:
There are more, but these are the ones I have tried so far.
To join a twitter party...
- Find a few twitter parties (Check my "Twitter Parties" Page)
- "Follow" the sponsors and hosts of the party
- RSVP by entering your twitter handle: @example and info (if needed)
- Use your tweet management tool such as Tweet Deck to follow the #hashtag
- Chat! Be involved, answer host's questions, ask questions, comment on others' tweets!
Prizes are usually given to those who participate or answer questions throughout the party.
A host may tweet "Q1. What are your plans for summer? #summertime"
You should re-tweet in case others missed the question, then reply or send a new tweet as an answer. "A1. I plan to go to the beach! #summertime"
The hashtag is the most important part of a twitter party. Always make sure you include the party's corresponding #hashtag to participate in the party!
GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!
