NOTE: I say “our” hashtag because I feel like it is definitely something built up and made worthwhile because of the powerful and helpful community, but I need to give credit where credit is due. @Matt_Umbro is the founder of #PPCchat and he is the glue of the community. Thanks Matt!

3.) Stream caps. Do you have a meeting during PPCchat? 12 PM Eastern on Tuesday is great for people on the east coast, but in the Rocky Mountains that is smack dab in the middle of the morning at 10 AM! It happens to me all too often. Each week you can get a weekly re-cap of the chat on PPCchat.co.

2.) Share your content. Have you written a stellar post about PPC on your blog or as a guest blogger? PPCchatters love a good quick read. Share it and they may just share or blog about it later and link back to you. For those unfamiliar with SEO, that’s a good thing.

WARNING: Don’t spam the hashtag. Don’t just share job postings. Don’t just share links to your blog posts. Don’t share irrelevant content.  Don’t just take, take, take from the community.

1.) The laughs!  We like to think we are pretty funny on #PPCchat.

Come join! The things you will learn will blow your mind, and the laughs are the icing on the cake. I know there are a lot more than 10 reasons to join PPCchat. Help me make the list better by adding it to the comments. If it is a good one, I’ll add it to the list!
