Another successful Twitter chat, and yes it was trending again! Thanks to the lovely ladies that showed up and dropped jewels Thursday night. I want to especially express my appreciation to my #GirlsWriteIn Twitter chat cohosts, @glamsaavy and @GaptoothDiva.
The next #GirlsWriteIn is scheduled for March 24th @ 8:00 p.m./est. Please be on the lookout for more details.
So here’s a recap of tips to increase your audience engagement.
A1. I constantly scour Twitter & FB for conversations. Not just on trending topics but life in general. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
@sheistyler @GlamSavvy @GaptoothDiva First reach out to people you know who maybe interested in what you have to offer #GirlsWriteIn

A1. I 1st est. my audience offline thru friends & family. Content was what they askd me daily (advice) #girlswritein https://t.co/xS2PDBP7uQ
— I'esha GaptoothDiva (@GaptoothDiva) February 26, 2016
A1: after u grow your readers start getting to know them. Survey or just pay close attention. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/UM5T4DMYfY
— Nia (@GlamSavvy) February 26, 2016
I mainly look at Twitter & IG to see what ppl are interested in, then incorporate my own experiences #girlswritein https://t.co/3szV6IAujZ
— Shea. (@sheawhatsreal) February 26, 2016
A2. Always leave them w/ something to chew on. Think "share". Am I saying something that will make them share w/ their network #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
A2. Amplification of others. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/8WP5bwDPQu

Giveaways help me out. Supporting other creatives & giving positive feedback as well! #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/gftrwWXPGu
— Shea. (@sheawhatsreal) February 26, 2016
Key into your audience by seeing what they like and provide that, oh and be authentic not just trendy #girlswritein https://t.co/dGkFK6B8YJ

I don't have a newsletter yet but I send #thestylestarterkit when a reader subscribes to my site. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/O4owQyVEf1
— Nia (@GlamSavvy) February 26, 2016
I try to be a resource of info, if its not my own product. Info on events, chats like this. Feed them! #girlswritein https://t.co/KSok7veCPn
— I'esha GaptoothDiva (@GaptoothDiva) February 26, 2016
@sheistyler consistency/rhythm are always good, but No. 1 is sending when there's valuable information to share #girlswritein
— Bria Felicien (@curlyscribe) February 26, 2016
A3 I just started my blog this month so no newsletter… Yet… I did just create a free journal & working on an Ebook. #girlswritein
— pretty Smart ❣ (@BrandiMishonna) February 26, 2016
I'm obsessed with newsletters. I may miss tweets & IGs, but I go through everything in my inbox. I'm an info junkie #GirlsWriteIn
— Bria Felicien (@curlyscribe) February 26, 2016
Praise break!
#GirlsWriteIn is trending on Twitter in #philly
— Uniquely Philly (@uniquelyphilly) February 26, 2016
I'm seeing a lot of us admitting to not utilizing subscriptions. Never leave potential money opportunities on the table. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
Give, Give, Ask method. So I use call to actions sparingly. When I really want my audience to act. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/90ZGEhZU2q
— Nia (@GlamSavvy) February 26, 2016
A4. CTA's are extremely important, but beware of sounding desperate or demanding to get results. #girlswritein https://t.co/1tilQLq7AV
— I'esha GaptoothDiva (@GaptoothDiva) February 26, 2016
A4: People will do what you ask, but they don't know what you want until you tell them. But we have to stay consistent. #GirlsWriteIn
— Bria Felicien (@curlyscribe) February 26, 2016
A4. Calls 2 action aren't necessarily about buying. Ask them to share, send them to an old blog, request a YT subscription. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
A4. A CTA is as simple as posing a question & asking readers to leave feedback in your comments. Discussion is as vital as $$ #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
A5) I try to recycle my old content, give it a new graphic and repost. I've seen some small successes from it. #GirlsWriteIn
— Starkey (@beingstarkey) February 26, 2016
A5 Flip it! Post becomes video, podcast, or chat topic. Refer back w/ link. Do a scope or Snap. #Girlswritein https://t.co/Gmb5MD8jdC
— I'esha GaptoothDiva (@GaptoothDiva) February 26, 2016
A5 | Reshare, Reshare & Reshare old content. Bc while it might be old to you, it might be new and "on time" for a new reader. #girlswritein
— from a wildflower, (@fromawildflower) February 26, 2016
A5. I sometimes share old content every 4 hours on my FB fan page. Change the title or use an excerpt as the caption. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
A5. Write your blog title 5 different ways and schedule them at varying times w/ unique graphics from Canva. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
Also see platforms like @CoSchedule or Meet Edgar to share old stuff. If you have the coin, worth it! #girlswritein https://t.co/Gmb5MD8jdC

A6 I don't want "clap backs", drama, negativity, petty associated with my brand so I keep calm. Opinions are not facts. #GirlsWriteIn
— pretty Smart ❣ (@BrandiMishonna) February 26, 2016
Choose your battles wisely because people don't have lives and will go back n forth all day #girlswritein https://t.co/hI3qASJ7ap
— Dorm Room Television (@DormRoomTV) February 26, 2016
A6. Here's the deal w/ #clapbacks..someone is always watching. Going off on 1 person could cost you 5 readers. Keep your cool #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) February 26, 2016
Inevitable! Suck it up. No1 knows you personally, so who cares?! The bigger u get, expect some hate. #girlswritein https://t.co/ioxGPAiCik
— I'esha GaptoothDiva (@GaptoothDiva) February 26, 2016
A6 | Always remember, that the way you respond may/can be used against you & your brand in the future. So always think ahead. #girlswritein
— from a wildflower, (@fromawildflower) February 26, 2016
Q6: Honestly I feel like it's never appropriate to "clapback". Remain professional. You have a brand and a image to protect! #girlswritein
— Rocky (@Itsarockyworld) February 26, 2016
If you're blogging & expecting people not to throw some shade… ??? plz develop thick skin. #girlswritein https://t.co/ioxGPAiCik
— I'esha GaptoothDiva (@GaptoothDiva) February 26, 2016
Q7. Be YOU. Instead of comparing yourself to others continue to do you boo! That in it self will set you apart! #girlswritein
— Rocky (@Itsarockyworld) February 26, 2016
1. Study ur niche and audience. 2. Get your visuals on point. 3. Useful content. 4. Consistency. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/uSEe2Dvr9k
— Nia (@GlamSavvy) February 26, 2016
Create your own logo. Offer freebies. Engage w/ your audience by letting them know you care. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/gxlqLHHp8n
— Erica Relaford (@NetWithErica) February 26, 2016
A7|| Remain consistent, offer relevant information, and give the readers an opportunity to act *I learned that tonight…lol* #GirlsWriteIn
— Starkey (@beingstarkey) February 26, 2016
If you think to yourself "It would be cool if…" that's the sign you were meant to do it. Don't doubt #girlswritein https://t.co/Dyuu9n6INL
