Don't simply re-tweet an article; put your own spin on it.
Connect the article to what McNair has worked on.
Not providing commentary can lead to confusion.
Use @handles and #hashtags!
Tweets are 140 characters max!
If you start a tweet with a @mention, add a period in front of @ to make sure your tweet is public.
- Ex. ".@BakerInstitute is ranked #4 in university-based think tanks!"
Guidelines for Articles
- Submit links to articles the #twitter channel on Slack (ask if you haven't been added). Try to send a couple a week.
- Make sure the articles are related to entrepreneurship and innovation in some way. If not, make sure the content is #relatable to something McNair is working on or something our research proves/disproves.
- Trustworthy sources, although reputable blogs are OK
Guidelines for Text with Tweet
- Start with one tweet/article per day, but build stock to do 2x a day
- Aim to post on weekends too
- Shorten all links in tweet
- A short, succint description of the article/key fact of the article is what we want -- but keep it interesting so that they want to click on it
- Tag anyone related to article -- author/subject/otherwise
- Talk about the work of Baker Institute fellows (eg Russell Green) and tag them in tweets
