Twitter Chats are a great and easy way to connect with others who are working to sell, market, and promote their startups or small businesses. They’re doing the same things you are, and they’re talking about it!
A Twitter chat happens at a scheduled time, sometimes once a week, once a month, or once a quarter. By following a hashtag, Twitter users can ask questions and share their expertise on a variety of topics. This week, we’ve done our research, and we’re bringing you a list of some of the top chats in marketing.
