  10 Twitter Tips for Nonprofit Organizations

  Great article, Heather - lots of specific, useful tips that are great for beginners venturing into Twitter.
  
  The only one I slightly disagree with is #9 about limiting the amount of tweets you post a day to 5 or 6.  If you are engaging with your followers, not just pushing content or asking for donations, you'll easily post more than 5 or 6 a day.
  
  A recent TwitterGrader report from HubSpot showed that: "Users who tweet between 10 and 50 times per day have more followers on average than those that tweet more or less frequently." - http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/4594/Is-22-Tweets-Per-Day-the-Optimum.aspx
  
  They suggested a sweet spot of 22 tweets per day, spread out over the course of a day.
  
  Also, as Katrinah mentioned, using a tool like TweetDeck (http://www.tweetdeck.com) can make it easier to have conversations and really engage with your followers - building up the relationships nonprofits need to succeed with social media.
