First off, I will be tweeting once a day. I did not choose this because it would be the least amount of work I had to do, but I chose it because I feel like tweeting one time a day would limit the amount of people that get annoyed or overwhelmed with my tweets, and it would also limit the amount of people that unfollow me because of my over tweeting. Again, I want everyone reading my tweets. By posting less, I feel like people would be more inclined to reading them every time they are posted.
The times for these tweets would be: Monday - 6:30 am (before school), Tuesday - 7:30 am (as people are arriving at school), Wednesday - 9:30 (Since everyone knows there are people on twitter during school), Thursday - 10:30 (again, during school), Friday - 11:30 (during school!!), Saturday - 12:30 (good time for the weekend when people are checking twitter), Sunday - 1:30 (people are bored at home doing homework/procrastinating on twitter), Monday - 2:55 (as people are leaving school), Tuesday - 3:30 (when people are getting home from school) Wednesday - 4:30 (after school), Thursday - 5:30 (after school), Friday - 6:30 (after school), Saturday - 7:30 (night time when people are on twitter with nothing else to do/the pre-turn up time), Sunday - 8:30 (Just after homework is usually completed and people are getting ready to prepare for bed) and Monday 9:30 (as people prepare for bed).
The reason for the times of these tweets is so that I reach at least every time I possibly can with only one tweet a day. This way, the most people will see the tweets.
Each tweet will end with the hashtag #ReadingIsCool. The reasoning behind this is that it is simple and to the point. Also, it is something that people can see quickly and know what the campaign is about. It also pretty much sums up my campaign in three words. Another thing to note is that people can use the hashtag to spread awareness of the cause.
Each tweet will consist of different reasons why reading is cool for boys. The first tweet, to start off the campaign will look a little bit like this. (And I have pictures of celebs reading but I could not fit them into this fake tweet for some reason...
The rest of the tweets will consist of facts about reading and real life experiments with people that read and how it helps not only make you smarter, but with everyday life situations also.
******** Also, as a side note. Retweets and hashtag posts will help my campaign be seen by more people, which is why I chose twitter ********
The times that you tweet seem to be quite specific, so I was wondering if you will be using any third party apps to make sure that the times these tweets are sent are when your followers are most active. Also will you target specific demographics with your tweets, or tweet tweets aimed more at the average follower.
ReplyDeleteI am using those as rough times. I should have mentioned that
DeleteTwitter seems to be a good option for the reasons you are describing. I agree with Pierce on attempting to get the tweets out at specific times during the school day. Are you going to be on Twitter during school? What about if you have a quiz or test during that time. Are you willing to be flexible or have you thought a way around this.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have strong ideas you want to tweet about. This will definitely take some research on your part, but I think you are more than capable of finding these resources. Will you post a link to them? Are you going to be able to summarize them, add the link and include your hashtag in 140 characters? These are things to think about as you start the project.
If you have solutions to these questions, then go for it! You are APPROVED!
Thanks homie. I am going to try and post the tweets as close to those times as possible however, I do not think that the tweets HAVE to be at those time exactly. As long as they are at most an hour after or before that time I feel like they will be good.
DeleteThis seems like it will be a good option for you and that you will be able to carry out what you want to do. Will your tweets be scheduled or will you physically post your tweets as close to that time as possible? I agree with Pierce in that it could be very beneficial for you to actually have some sort of service to review and post tweets. It just takes a lot of the hassle out in manually posting the tweets.
