Twitter chats are a great way to learn new strategies and tools, ask questions, participate in discussions and even answer some questions about digital marketing. The sheer volume of Twitter chats can feel overwhelming—that’s why I’ve compiled a list of chats that users can learn from and enjoy.
The best part about networking via Twitter: you can tweet from anywhere—even in your jammies, in the comfort of your own home!
Here’s a list of my favorites:
(#brandchat) features discussions about building and managing corporate and personal brands. This chat takes place every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon and is moderated by Maria Duron (@mariaduron) and Gary Nix (@mr_mcfly). Weekly topics and recaps can be found on their website, thebrandchat.com.
