A Report From #TheTrenches
#ItsOfficial *The end of summer is near! #SchoolSupplies R on sale & the temperature hit 97 degrees today! Feeling as though it was over 100, I’m #Thankful there isn’t a shortage of pools in #TX!!!:) #BeatTheHeat & dive in, it’s #PoolParty #Time!!!
I hope you will join me & dive into the #SMpool on #Twitter as well!:)
It’s easy to do! Log on right now & create an account if you haven’t already! The process is quick & I’m going to share a few basic things w/you that I have learned along the way, to make getting started a cinch!
#1stThings1st! Think of #Twitter as your own personal #RadioBroadcast *Where every tweet is #1connection *An opportunity to #Interact, #Connect & do business w/people #AcrossEarth! #Imagine every tweet as an email or a virtual conversation in #RealTime! #Tweet w/associates, friends & family by strategically following people who are in your industry, have the same interests as you & support you no matter what! #Twitter is the perfect place to #Network with #LikemindedPeople & #Advertise your business for #Free!
Let’s talk about #HowItWorks!:) When you set up a #TwitterAccount/Profile, your profile starts w/the @ sign. This is how people tweet you directly & how you connect w/them in return. Make sure to pick something specific such as your name or the name or your company so that people can easily find you. Your #Image aka #Branding is the most important element & should always be kept @ the forefront of all you do. Use #Logos, #Images & #Content that are consistent w/other Social Media platforms that you currently use. You want people to recognize you & your company right away! I suggest creating 2 twitter accounts. One account for your company & one account for you personally. I believe having both is essential to #Networking because it shows people that you are a #RealPerson & gives them a good idea of who you are & what your company is all about!
Each #Tweet has a maximum of 140 Characters. You can include a picture or video along with text in a #Tweet Get #Creative! #Plan & #Personalize your #Tweets! *Let #Twitter be a #Soundtrack #Reflecting & #Promoting your #Message, #Vision & #Goals! Engage your #Followers w/company & personal news, Tweet links to your website, products & blog, insights & ideas, pictures & videos! Launch a campaign across all of your #SM platforms, do promotions, attach coupons or write a newsletter, but most importantly of all, keep the conversation going! #Connect w/others by retweeting & commenting on their content, favoriting their tweets, tweeting them directly & direct messaging them as well. Please note: In order to DM someone they must be following you. Remember to use your #Manners & show #Gratitude by #Thanking & #Promoting people in your group! #StayFocused & you will #Build a #Network that is #Professional, #Profitable & #Fun!
I’ve seen it, but what does a # really mean? The pound/# sign is now called a “Hashtag”. A #Hashtag is in a sense part of computer language and is used as another way of communicating & or filing specific information. If you want to mention, reference, highlight or amplify something use the # sign before the word or group of words. Doing this will turn that word or phrase into a searchable link. The #(Hashtag) groups these words together & files them neatly onto #OneStream. You can click on a hashtag to see all the posts that mention that word/hashtag in #RealTime. So, exactly how many hashtag’s are acceptable in a tweet? From what I’ve read, the general consensus seems to be one to three per tweet. I encourage you to #Create a #Unique #Hashtag that represents your company or cause and use it in your #Tweets!
Through #Twitter I’ve gotten the opportunity to meet w/industry professionals in person & do business.

Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
