5 Awesome Twitter Tips for Bloggers

Twitter Hours

I use and recommend Twitter hours to my clients ALL the time. I was thinking about this recently in relation to blogging. There HAS to be some established Twitter hours that could be useful for bloggers to use to break into a new audience?

Twitter hours work in similar way to Twitter Chats. They are established hashtags that go “live” at specific hours on specific days. There is a full list collated by design that fits. But for the purpose of this post I am singling out a few for each day of the week that I feel could be appropriate for Bloggers.

A brief aside – if you check out the full list at design that fits, there are loads of local Twitter hours that are useful. You can pick the ones that are relevant to your location. My favourite is #YorkshireHour because I’m a Yorkshire lass!
