By 'guest post' what we mean here is 'marketing', and in this case the marketing is for the OER Conference 2022 coming up later this month. Not surprisingly, the tips all involve promoting the conference: use the conference hashtags, follow the featured speakers, obey conference netiquette, and add substantive conference content. These aren't bad suggestions, per se - after all, if you don't use the right hashtag it's likely your tweet won't be seen by anyone. But it's also all a part of the fiction being promoted by this (and most other) conferences: that they are a community, indeed, the community. But there are many communities, including many OER and open education communities. The best tip is to be open to them, to post to more generic hashtags (like, say, #oer or #edtech, and follow the 'latest', not the 'top' tweets), and follow people you like, not people selected to be the key speakers.
