Write My Twitter Posts

A couple of weeks ago I came across a job listing on Get A Freelancer where someone had posted looking for someone to write their Twitter posts. I have to admit I didn’t really take any notice of it and just passed by it. I was looking for something specific. A couple of nights ago however when I mentioned my new blog for business owners on Twitter someone asked me “Would I write Twitter posts?” This threw me and it made me think again about the job I saw on Get A Freelancer.

Writing someone elses Twitter posts just doesn’t seem ethical to me regardless of whether or not I was getting paid. I have my morals and beliefs and writing someone elses Twitter posts to me would be like writing someone’s essay or term paper. I’m just not going to do it.

I love Twitter and especially the fact that I am networking with other people, enjoying conversations, and making some great new friends, don’t you? How would you feel if you found out that the person you were connecting with was actually someone who was being paid to Tweet and not in fact the person you thought it was? The laughter, the jokes, the business ideas, what if they were all fake? I know that my opinion of the person I thought I was connecting with would be shattered. I certainly wouldn’t want to buy any of their products, let alone chat with them again. You see, for me Twitter is personal, it’s about being yourself and connecting with others. It’s about gettting your name out there, promoting your business too, but most of all meeting and connecting with people. I really hate the thought of people out there trying to control Twitter, trying to take away the personal aspect, and just simply mistreating this great concept. Would you be willing to have someone write your tweets? Would you be wiling to let someone else speak for you? I know I wouldn’t.

How can you tweet for someone? How can you take on their personality? How can you have conversations with people? It’s just wrong in my eyes, and yes they are just my eyes, you may not agree with me at all. You may see this as another paid opportunity, and that is your choice.

I know there are people out there who will agree with me on this one, so let me ask you this final question: “Would you be willing to let someone else be you?”

Until next time,

Keep writing.
