#ThursdayTip: How To Pin A Tweet

Posted on July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 by Editor

Welcome to this week’s social media tip.

Pinning a Tweet allows you to showcase your best content at the top of your profile page for as long as you’d like.

In the past Twitter typically only allowed viewers to see posts in a sequential timeline which meant that your most important or relevant content quickly got lost in the fast-moving Twitter stream.

To solve this issue Twitter now allows you to pin a tweet or keep it placed at the top of the newsfeed giving you more editorial control as to what a viewer will see first when visiting your page.

How To Pin A Tweet

It’s super quick and easy to do. Follow the steps below to pin your first tweet.

1. Open up your Twitter Profile Page.

2. Choose a Tweet you would like to Pin. Select “Pin to your profile page”.

3. The Tweet will now automatically appear at the top of Page.

4. To remove a pinned tweet, simply click on the “unpin” option.

It’s a good idea to review your pinned tweets regularly to make sure you are sharing up-to-date posts. Out-dated pins will make your profile look out-dated too. To refresh your Twitter profile simply choose another tweet to pin. Twitter will ask you to confirm if you want to replace your current pinned tweet.

It couldn’t be easier to follow these steps and it’s something you should certainly do to highlight your accomplishments, share your latest news, and bring your viewers attention to the posts you want them to see first.

Here’s to your tweeting success!

#ThursdayTip: How To Access Your Twitter Data

Posted on July 14, 2022July 14, 2022 by Editor

Welcome to this week’s quick social media tip. Today I want to show you how to review your Twitter data.

Reviewing your Twitter data can give you insights into the type of information stored for your account.

What type of information is available to you?

Your Twitter data provides you with a snapshot of your Twitter information, including the following:

Account: Log into your Twitter account and go to More.

Click on Settings and Privacy. You will see information such as your username, email addresses or phone numbers associated with your account, etc. You can update or correct most of this information at any time.

Account history: You’ll also be able to see your login history, as well as the places you’ve been while using Twitter.

Apps and devices: You can also view the browsers and mobile devices associated with your account (if you are logged in) or current device (if logged out), and the apps you have connected to your Twitter account. If you see login activity from an app you don’t recognize or that looks suspicious, you can go to the Apps tab in your settings to revoke its access to your Twitter account. The IP location shown is the approximate location of the IP address you used to access Twitter, and it may be different from your physical location.

Account activity: You will be able to see the accounts you’ve blocked or muted.

Interests and Ads data: You can also see interests that Twitter and its partners have inferred about your account or current device.

You can also view any Twitter advertisers who have included your account or current device in their tailored audiences. You can opt-out of interest-based advertising in your personalization and data settings. This will change the ads you see on Twitter, however, it won’t remove you from advertisers’ audiences.

Download an archive of your data: You can also download a machine-readable archive of information associated with your account in HTML and JSON files.

Monday Morning Cool Tool: Linktree

Posted on July 11, 2022 by Editor

This week’s cool tool recommendation is Linktree – a landing page tool that houses links to your social sites.

When you sign up, you receive a unique Linktree URL that you can add to your bio on any social media platform, in your email signature, etc., so your followers and visitors can choose which of your content they want to see.

If you use Instagram, you already know that you can’t have more than one link on the website portion of your profile. This is where Linktree comes in. With Linktree, you can create a landing page with as many links as you like.

See this example from podcasters, Our MBC Life, to see how it looks in practice.

Pricing

You can sign up for free to get unlimited links and a customizable Linktree. For more customisation, there are paid plans.

#ThursdayTip: How To Mute Accounts, Keywords & Hashtags on Twitter

Posted on July 7, 2022July 7, 2022 by Editor

Welcome to this week’s social media quick tip. This week I want to show you how to use the Mute feature on Twitter.

Mute is a handy feature on Twitter, which if you’re not familiar with, can be a real boon to your Twitter experience. It allows you to remove an account’s Tweets from your timeline without unfollowing or blocking that account. Muted accounts will not know that you’ve muted them and you can unmute them at any time.

How To Mute An Account

Some things to note about Mute:

Muted accounts can follow you and you can follow muted accounts. Muting an account will not cause you to unfollow them.
Muting an account does not impact the account’s ability to send you a Direct Message.
You will no longer receive push or SMS notifications from any muted account.
Replies and mentions by the muted account will still appear in your Notifications tab.
Tweets from a muted account – posted before the account was muted – will be removed from your Home timeline.
When you click or tap into a conversation, replies from muted accounts will be visible.

How To Mute Conversations, Keywords, and Hashtags

Twitter also gives you the option to mute Tweets that contain particular words, phrases, usernames, emojis, or hashtags. Muting will remove these Tweets from your Notifications tab, push notifications, SMS, email notifications, Home timeline, and from replies to Tweets.

If you would like to stop receiving notifications for a particular conversation, you can choose to mute it. When you mute a conversation, you won’t get any new notifications about that conversation. You will, however, still see Tweets from the conversation in your timeline and when you click into the original Tweet.

Here’s to your Twitter success!
