The first thing I do when I get into work each morning is check my Twitter account.
Like most of you, I have deadlines.
I don’t have time to scan my Twitter feed for hours on end, so I click on what stands out, and scroll past what doesn’t.
If you’re buyer personas are hanging out on Twitter, you can’t afford to have them scroll past your bite-sized pieces of content.
To save your business money and time, we decided to share the twenty best Twitter practices to help you build your online presence. We even included examples of tweets from real companies to help speed up the learning process

Spread the knowledge about your product by simply asking your followers to share the content you posted.

Don’t be afraid to use humor in your tweets. If someone finds a tweet funny they are more likely to retweet it.
4. Engage with your followers:
If someone Tweets about your brand, don’t ignore them. You will create brand loyalty by engaging with your followers.

Guess what happens when you retweet your customer’s content? They brag about it to their friends and colleagues. This is a great way to spread your brand via word-of-mouth.
