It may be true that there are exceptions, but fortunately we have successful patterns to help us get it right. Too much experimentation in marketing results in wasted time, money, and disappointment.

So true, Rae. Nothing is ever concrete and there are always exceptions, of course. But you won’t go wrong following these guidelines, and that’s reassuring.

The only problem with myths and rules is that they are not concrete and certainly not without change.
Every single item is extremely good to note and ponder, but there are exceptions to everything.
That being said, this article is brilliant in that it at least calls to the attention of the aspiring writer the concerns that are out there. How they adjust their own experience is up the individual writer.
The unknown is not only frightening but extremely exciting.

Good points, Han. Thanks! When I see a Twitter profile that’s loaded with hashtags, I think they’re just there to be found, not to help or serve.

A great post that gets to the point! My favorite is the section on hashtags. Any more than three and I start to go cross-eyed, and feel I am being spammed. The same goes for twitter profiles that are mostly tags. They seem very flat, lazy, and confusing. It seems like a hashtag is only useful if it legitimately adds reference value, and is a genuine content type marker.
Thanks for this post. Definitely sharing!
