Did you know that almost all of my influence grew from my usage of Twitter? My collaborators and I were singled out way back in 2011 by Yahoo! Research and Cornell University in a study of who was influential on Twitter.

What about journalists? So many journalists are on Twitter that a study of how journalists use Twitter became a dissertation that led to a book.

In a 2019 survey of journalists:

  • “39 percent expect to spend more time on Twitter in 2019. While 50 percent expect to spend less time on Facebook.”
  • “Twitter is a good source for news as it is happening.”
  • “online newspapers and magazines were their primary news source (60 percent), followed by Twitter (25 percent).”

Some journalists even “wonder if their profession is tweet-crazy“! Others “call for journalists to stop tweeting“. But until that happens, Twitter is your fast path to reaching journalists and influencers.

How much could your small business benefit from having a journalist mention you in print, on radio or television. Think of the increased visibility and credibility you would enjoy.
