365 Inspirational Tweets

Compiled by Hollie Hawley

Three hundred sixty-five inspirational tweets? What would I do with that?

Plenty! And you can do more than just tweet them.

You can load them into Hootsuite and schedule them to be published, one message per day, on autopilot, to Twitter, Facebook, or any of a number of social media platforms. If you aren’t familiar with Hootsuite, go to Hootsuite.com to open an account, free of charge. Watch the training videos that you can access from the dashboard to learn about everything you can do on that powerful platform.

You can sprinkle these inspirational tweets throughout your newsletters or email marketing messages.

You can post one per day to your blog. Most blogging platforms allow you to pre-schedule posts, so load them all up and schedule them to be published one at a time. Without doing anything further, you’ll have a constant feed of inspirational messages on your blog for the rest of the year.

And, finally, you can read through them at your leisure, whenever you need a little inspiration.

Each tweet is no more than 125 characters, including spaces. Short enough to be tweeted and retweeted. They are all authored by well-known people in many walks of life. They cover a large range of topics, including human potential, the power of thought, personal growth, truth, love and wisdom.

And by the way, you may be reading this e-book as a PDF. It’s also available in Word and text versions, which make it easier to cut and paste. If you leave me your email address here, I’ll send you a copy of those versions.

So here you go . . . a year’s worth of inspirational tweets.
