Another successful Twitter chat is in the books! Special thanks to my wonderful facilitators Bria (@briafel) and Kimberly (@fromawildflower).
*Before I get to my recap, don’t forget to lock in your space at #GirlsWriteIn: BeYourOwnYoncé!
The discussion regarding social sharing, spent time dealing with how to maximize social media use as well as successfully engaging with followers. Here’s a recap on a few top tweets in no particular order.
A1. Honesty is key! You should garner interest w/ a punchy headline however lying will cause you to lose readers & credibility #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) April 1, 2016
@sheistyler I agree!! Create the type of headline that you would want to explore. #GirlsWriteIn

A1: I'm naturally quirky, a tad awkward, & I love alliteration. I use all 3 in my titles and it actually sticks with people! #GirlsWriteIn

A2. If you wrote from an authentic place to begin with, then you can easily defend your position #girlswritein https://t.co/zHonLymNVT

A2. Don't back down. You can't live as a writer worrying abt hurting people's feelings especially if that wasn't your intent. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) April 1, 2016
A3. I think it's always about making sure your content is adding value to the audience you write for. #girlswritein https://t.co/3GLlWurnqs

A3: Adjusting/balancing between remembering your mission & giving your readers more of what click on/engage w. Like a seesaw #GirlsWriteIn
— Bria Felicien (@briafel) April 1, 2016
A3: make it a habit to ignore blog statistics on a micro level. Focus on months, or quarters. #girlswritein https://t.co/EikJCCJktA

What my sister doesn't know, I am responsible for finding her the answer. But ya'll don't hear me tho! #GirlsWriteIn pic.twitter.com/Q7hZx66z8S
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) April 1, 2016
A4. There is room at the table for EVERYONE. Why would I not share what other dope women are writing about? #GirlsWriteIn
— Kimberly Renee (@reelsistas) April 1, 2016
To kill the stereotype that women don't support other women #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/PTq3f08xtm

Don't forget that SM "love" is fleeting. Those same folk will turn on u for a misconstrued tweet/post #girlswritein https://t.co/Pkx4SlHmOF

Q5: THIS has been my struggle. Keep your identity rooted in Christ.
Everything else is sinking sand #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/LcWpeZ2WKN— M. Simone Boyd (@MSimoneBoyd) April 1, 2016
if social media is what you use to measure what God has created you to be, reevaluate & redirect. #GirlsWritein

A5. Have faith in your craft. Honor your craft. It's honestly the only way. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/eHUu7Vbygn

A5: disable notifications and reframe how you think about social. It's about relationship not likes. #girlswritein https://t.co/PorLHwBEUD
— Ya Girl Brittany (@xobritdear) April 1, 2016
@sheistyler A6. The same attitude about everything else in life like that: this' what it is. #GirlsWriteIn pic.twitter.com/Hh6AOTM5nC
— mmderosier (@mmderosier) April 1, 2016
A6. Honestly, I am NOT team follow back. If your interests don't align with mine, what am I following? #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) April 1, 2016
A7. It's only too much if YOU determine it's too much. Know your comfortability limits. #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/Xa7ympBE4Z
— ruhCONNuh (@eversoRoco) April 1, 2016
@itslovelyliv You have to find balance. If you wouldn't tell your preacher, don't tell the Internet. #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) April 1, 2016
Stick to posting what aligns with your brand #GirlsWriteIn https://t.co/1cYN9rjBLG
— Dorothy Zbornak (@PNutButtaGellz) April 1, 2016
A7. People don't follow blogs they follow people. Don't be afraid to tell your story. Your journey isn't meant to travel alone #GirlsWriteIn
— GirlTyler (@sheistyler) April 1, 2016
Until next time!
Loved every minute of tonight's #GirlsWriteIn Twitter chat. Can't wait to do it again! ?
— DavidaJ (@Called2Connect) April 1, 2016
Fyi, #GirlsWriteIn isn’t Limited to Writers
Not even a blogger, but some of the same advice can apply for other avenues, including graphic design. Thanks for #GirlsWriteIn @sheistyler!

I always enjoy the twitter chat from #GirlsWriteIn and I can’t wait until the next one.
Thanks, Starkey! You always give great ideas. I’d love for you to cohost with me sometime. Send me an email to tyler@girltyler.com.
I honestly did not expect this level of quality from a newer platform but it exceeded all my expectations. Game variety is impressive and customer support actually cares about resolving issues properly. I will definitely be sticking around for the long haul. casinoefbet
