Are you in construction? Do you want to build up your following? Are you looking to connect with the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) community?

You’re in luck!

Joining our weekly Twitter Chat may just be the right thing for you.

Construction Chat is on Thursday mornings at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

How to Join a Chat:

1. Follow the hashtag on Twitter (but don’t forget to add #ConstChat manually after your tweet or we won’t see your tweet).

2. Use Hootsuite or TweetDeck and make a column for #ConstChat (but don’t forget to put #ConstChat manually after your tweet).

3. Go to the Twubs page for #ConstChat.

4. My preferred method is using TweetChat. Just go here and log in with your Twitter account. You can even highlight the moderator so you don’t miss questions.

Pinterest Best Practices

This week’s topic is brought to us by our co-host, Carol Stephen, a regular chat participant.

Of course, we may not get to all of these questions, but here goes:

Q1. How many of you use Pinterest for your construction companies?

Q2. Would you like to share your Pinterest accounts?

Q3. Are you optimizing your pins? That is, are you using key words like #AEC, #Roofing, #Plumbing, etc.?

Q4. Are you using big and beautiful pins on your accounts?

Q5. Are you putting your popular boards up at the top of your account? (people see those first)

Q6. Do you change the covers on your boards occasionally?

Q7. Do you use enough text in your pins so that people can find your pins?

Q8. What are your biggest frustrations with Pinterest?

I hope you can make it to this thought-provoking chat.
