When brainstorming this week’s blogpost I realized that there was a fantastic amount of resources about Twitter Tips and insights published last week. So I thought the best thing to do is to give you a brief overview of these invaluable resources so you can go and have a read yourself.

I firmly believe that reading these 6 posts will arm you with the knowledge you need to make the right moves forward on Twitter:

1.) How to best engage your community – by @JanetAronica

2.) How to best promote your content on Twitter – by @MackCollier

Mack’s post is, like all on this list, in a league of it’s own. It teaches us about Twitter what an old favorite Chinese saying of mine does too:
“If you want to walk fast, walk alone – If you want to walk far, walk together”

In a compelling way Mack tells us how the best way to create traffic and promote your own content is to promote others and share their content. Intuitively it might sound contradictory but both the argument of creating a strong community he develops and the hard facts of his success teach you otherwise.

5.) When should you tweet? – by @TweetSmarter

This is one again stood out sharply from all other posts I read. Given the vast amount of apps, posts and even books that are written about what the best times to tweet are, this resource is by far the most valuable one I came across. Dave elaborates on this topic reflecting on 4 factors influencing the best times to tweet. They are RCCF (Retweets, Clicks, Comments as replies and Favourites).

The reason this post stands out from the rest is the vast amount of other reflections about tweeting times it includes. Does tweeting mean you are active? Should you retweet your tweets? You will find answers to these and many more questions you ever had about tweeting times.

6.) What’s going on with Twitter? – by @JeffBullas

I found several posts reflecting Twitter’s latest growth figures, however none made sense of it all in such a way as Jeff did. It’s not just the common gossip on mindblowing figures of how many tweets and how many new users. There is more to it here. Jeff reflects on the longterm impact these stats are likely to have for Twitter.

What’s particularly interesting is a link to an early post he wrote about Twitter’s figures and how they relate to current ones. His conclusion? Twitter is super healthy.

To speak with Mack’s words this is not a post to get on anyone’s radar, it is a collection of resources because the content is amazing. I hope you find the posts useful. What are your thoughts on them? Or would you like to add a post to this list? Let me know below
