Twitter Chats – More Than Online Chatter

As a marketing professional, I’m always looking for tips to help make my job easier, faster, and more effective. I also like to share marketing tips with my clients to help them do the same. As a Twitter fan, I find Twitter chats for digital marketers fun to engage with and I learn so much from others.

Ten Twitter Chats for Digital Marketers

1. #SocialROI is a chat hosted by social media influencer Madalyn Sklar. It takes place every Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. ET. The chat usually takes a format of live Q&A — the hosts invite an expert in a marketing field and ask them questions while the participants can ask their questions or suggest their own answers to the questions asked. Afterward, you can join a Live Video recap of the chat on Facebook. You can see the list of upcoming guests and the recaps of previous chats here.
2. #SMEchat was created by Social Media Examiner, a major educational platform in the social media marketing sphere. It starts on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. PST/1:00 p.m. EST. The topics of the chat, although related to social media, vary greatly from getting the most out of live events to new Pinterest features you can benefit from. Occasionally, they will invite special guests. To keep an eye on the chat’s topics, which are announced one week in advance, follow the official Social Media Examiner Twitter account.
3. #SMTLive is run by another giant social media marketing platform — Social Media Today. Their twice-monthly live Twitter chat (#SMTLive) brings together social-focused marketing professionals in a group chat to discuss, share and learn about what’s new in social media and digital marketing. Not only do they discuss the latest news and valuable tactics, but they also talk about the state of the social media marketing industry and how it feels to work in this industry. It takes place every other Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. ET. Check out the recaps of the previous chats here and follow SMT on Twitter to stay up to date on their next chat.

5. #ContentClubUK is one of the coziest chats in the digital marketing community. It always starts with a cup of tea and a biscuit (yes, it is a UK-based chat) and invites content marketers to talk about their trade. Each week, on a Tuesday, at 11:00 a.m. (GMT), the host asks three questions related to content marketing. Answers are given by marketers, copywriters, designers and anyone else who wants to take part. The hosts change every week.
6. #CMWorld is another chat hosted by a major publication and educational platform in its industry, but this time dedicated to content marketing.
