Mastering Twitter: Guild seminar open to non members

Twitter has become the best way to keep up with the news as it happens, find sources, find an audience and even network online. It’s even been known to be fun. Do you use Twitter regularly? Do you want to get more out of it? The British Guild of Travel Writers is hosting an evening Twitter Seminar on Friday, 20th November. Led by two social media experts, our workshop will teach you the ins and outs of Twitter, including curating your stream and Twitter’s secret shortcuts. We will also look into social listening, and how companies use Twitter for research, along with the Twitter ads platform (not sure whether it’s worth paying for a Twitter ad?)
Whether you’re tweeting for a business, as a freelancer or just for fun, our Seminar will teach you how to make the most of one of today’s most popular social networks. A must for any Twitter user out there! Click here to sign up.
