Social media platforms and their place in society can be a controversial topic these days, but there’s no denying they play an integral role in how we communicate in the digital age. Since its start in 2006, Twitter has grown to a community of more than 340 million monthly active users and is not only a place for connection with friends, colleagues, and public figures, but also one of the main sources used by some to stay up to date on the latest news and trending topics. Companies can successfully use Twitter to meet community members where they’re already spending time. Increasing social reach through valuable content, engagement, and influencer partnerships is helpful for establishing your brand as a thought leader in the industry. Twitter is also a great way to get updated quickly on the latest changes to rules, regulations, and deadlines. You can use it to engage with industry peers through topic discussions or live chats like our monthly #TaxBuzzChat. Plus, it can help you effectively relay important information to your followers (and maybe even lead to new leads).This significant conversation platform is one that tax and accounting professionals cannot afford to miss out on. A best practice to stay on top of tax and accounting news is to create a list of experts and influencers to follow.
