Ghost tweeting is something that has gained a lot of attention recently since it was admitted by a user that he uses other people to add tweets on his behalf, so what is ghost tweeting?

Ghost tweeting is basically when a Twitter account holder users someone to post tweets on their account instead of them, this is now a common thing that is happening on the majority of twitter accounts. Ghost tweeting is used by everyone ranging from celebrities and CEO's of bug companies across the world allowing them to take credit for the tweet as their own.

Although this kind of tweeting has become a bug talking point in recent months and is not welcomed by many personal users as they want to be reading about what real people are doing in their day to day life it is a great way for you to add regular content onto your account. Twitter is the same as any other social media website and needs to have regular content added to it for you to see a benefit from it and this is where a ghost writer becomes invaluable to you. A ghost writer can be adding content onto your account while you get on with your day to day processes and tasks but you will need to make sure that they know about you and your subject otherwise they will not be adding anything relevant for you and will not help you to build up your community.

However for all the plus points that ghost tweeting has it can also have an adverse effect, you need to make sure that the tweets that are being added on your behalf have a note about who is adding them, you can add this as a disclaimer on your account. Another effect could be that the more that people use Twitter for casual use then they may well be less likely to pick up on your offers and promotions. Despite the above ghost tweeting is definitely more beneficial that having to put your tweets on when you just do not have time.
