If you ask me, there's really no reason anyone shouldn't participate in Twitter chats, at least a few times a month. Maybe I'm biased, but I believe there are so many benefits to getting involved in them.
Here's why I love Twitter chats so much:
1. You can meet so many new people from so many different walks of life. The opportunities for networking and making new connections in Twitter chats are just incredible.
2. I learn something new every time I'm in a Twitter chat. Whether it's networking or job search advice, something new to try on my blog, general life advice or anything in between, I come away from every chat with pages of my notebook filled with great insights that I want to embrace down the road.
3. Through Twitter chats, you can discover new resources for your blog, website or business. Whether it's an app, a new website, different software, or anything in between, someone in a Twitter chat knows about a resource that could change the way you run your blog, website or business. Ask! You never know what you'll learn about.
4. There hasn't been one Twitter chat I've done where I haven't found a new blog to add to my daily reading list. Most people who participate in or host chats have some kind of website or blog themselves (at least in the chats I've done). I will always at least check out someone's blog and see what it's all about.
5. There's literally a Twitter chat for everything. Buffer and Content Marketing Institute host their own weekly chats. A friend of mine from college does a #CampChat for outdoorsy people. Whatever community you're in, someone in there knows of a chat, or hosts one of their own.
I highly encourage you to participate in a Twitter chat if you've never done it before. They tend to move quickly and can be tough to follow, but once you get into the rhythm, they're so beneficial and great ways to spend your time.
