Why Tweet Quotes?


If you're wondering why so many people tweet quotes, it's because they are a shorthand way to tell people a little about ourselves. The quotes we select say something about us, and how we view the world.

A second, and equally important reason, is that they are super easy to share. Everything the person needs to know in order to make the decision to retweet your quote is right there in front of them.

If you tweet blog posts, people tend to stop short. If you haven't read the post, and don't know it's quality, you may not want to risk sharing something that could be embarrassing or at a minimum, simply not interesting.

Thus, quotes make a great way to create a shorthand connection with your audience. Pick them carefully and take the time to create some graphics using canva.com or quotescover.com. Good graphics generate more engagement.

You can also download jukeboxes of picture quotes for free from tweetjukebox.com, my automated tweeting site. Check it out.

Happy Tweeting!

Eggs are for omelets.


This is a very basic tip, but it gets overlooked by new people and then they wonder why their engagement on Twitter is so poor.

Don't be an egg. Get rid of that basic profile image.

Too shy? Well, post a pic of your cat, or your dog. Use someone else's cat or dog. Maybe a bird?

You're honestly best served by putting your own photo up. People like to see other people.

You'll get more engagement, and find the experience of Twitter to be much more rewarding.

All by getting rid of that silly egg.

Just go to "Edit Profile" as shown below, and follow the instructions.


It's very simple and very effective.

Try it out, and let me know how it goes.

Happy Tweeting!
