I used to participate in tweet chats all the time during my sophomore year of high school when I didn't have a job and was really motivated with my blog. Unfortunately, I fell out of participating in them the following two years due to losing motivation to blog, getting a job, and not having much free time.
I liked the tweet chats that I participated in, but I always felt out-of-place and harder to connect with others due to my age. I was only 16 while almost everyone who also participated in them was significantly older than me -- usually in their 40s and 50s! I wanted to find tweet chats that had people closer to my age, but I never found the time to research.
Becoming more active on my blog and social media this past summer has fortunately allowed me to find more tweet chats that I genuinely love. I'm connecting with young millennials, learning new things about blogging + business, and having a great time! I've found myself penciling these tweet chats in my blogging planner so I don't forget to attend. If you follow me on Twitter, you may see that I encourage my followers to attend the chats while I'm in them -- I hope you all will join me!

Yay yay yay! I have always wanted to join a Twitter chat, but wasn't sure WHEN they were! I always hop on Twitter to find you in a chat and think "well its already started, too late now". THANK YOU for sharing! I will be putting these in my calendar!

Thanks for bringing these tweet chats to my attention Ashley! The only ones I've ever participated in have been conference-related - and then #runchat is something that I pitch into from time to time. I work in EST, so these are great and reasonable times for me to pitch in after work :)

Thanks so much for sharing about the #ellechat, Ashley! I've loved getting your feedback these past few weeks. Looking forward to chatting again this Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI definitely participated in twitter chats a lot more over the summer but I find that most are during the day now so it's hard for me to join!
