Outreach: Twitter

[krazy kaju]

We need to spread the r3volution on twitter. I started an account a while ago but I haven't been tweeting until recently.

Create an account, spread the word, gain followers, and follow me! http://twitter.com/ajwitoslawski

We really need to build up a presence on that site.

Been spreading the R3VOLution on Twitter for some months now. It's slow but it works.

Also consider following Top Libertarians on Twitter (TLOT): http://twitter.com/tlot and Top Conservatives on Twitter (TCOT): http://twitter.com/tcot.

Well it seems that Twitter is picking up and the media has been reporting about it more and more, so I decided to become active on the website.

This is how you use Twitter to spread the message:

1. Get a Twitter account.
2. Go to search.twitter.com and search a phrase or word like "economy," "financial crisis," "national security," "gay marriage," etc.
3. Find an INDIVIDUAL (not some website or newspaper with a Twitter handle) who has something to say about that topic, find a link to either your own blog, LRC, mises.org, cato.org, fee.org, or a related libertarian website, and reply to them with that link. You might have to refresh a few times to find someone you can interact with.
4. Hope they bite back, read your article, etc. If we can collectively contact, say, 5 people a day for 6 days a week, I believe we could be bringing a fair amount of people to the movement, even if we have a low success/conversion rate.

Solid plan. And we do need to establish a presence on that site.

I created an account a couple weeks ago but haven't really been using it. I'll try to start though.

Do it. I just search "economy" or "health care" a few times a day, see if I can find an individual who would actually read my tweet, and then I tweet to them with an LRC or Mises link.

Also, one more thing. When you're tweeting about the economy, make sure you include "#economy" in your tweet to expand the views you'll get when people go to search.twitter.com and search "economy."
