  • How to use hashtags Ever wonder what the # sign means?  It is a way of letting twitter know that your post is part of a specific conversation so people can follow.  For the Labor Day Tweet Up – just put #selfemployment at the end of your tweets and we’ll know you are talking to us.
  • How do I follow the conversation? You can view all the tweets in the conversation by going to http://tweetchat.com and entering #selfemployment as the hash tag.  If you follow along in the chatroom -you can just see the posts that are part of our conversation – and hopefully make some new friends.
  • What to tweet about and when? We’ll be tweeting discussion questions from 2pm to 10pm (Eastern) each day.  Just answer the questions or post about #selfemployment.
  • Why Should I Play? Not only is the Self Employment Telesummit Labor Day Tweet Up a great way to network and make some new friends – one lucky participant will win a free gold ticket to the Self Employment Telesummit.
