Tweet often
As you keep Tweets short and focused, make sure you Tweet often to stay in the conversation. Your name will keep appearing in others’ timelines for the potential to get more replies or Retweets of what you share.
Be real
Be yourself when you’re on Twitter. Use your own tone of voice and talk about things that matter to you. Your followers will notice and appreciate you for being you.
