It’s hard to believe that with only 140 characters, you can be long-winded, but you can. If a post is more than three lines long, chances are, it will just get skipped over as people scroll. Don’t waste the effort. Break your though into two posts if you have to.
Do not become a victim to robots that seek out and follow every account they can find just to boost their followers. Collect quality users that you think you could retweet from. And ultimately, who might genuinely be interested in you.
Most users hate auto-messages. Fact. The only auto-messages that are okay are personal ones, but they’re still hard to perfect. Messages that just beg for engagement are a no-go. Automate at your own risk.
Twitter is a networking site, not a billboard. To be successful, you need to connect with other users. Accounts that show more than just their own posts will receive the attention of other users’ followers as well. It just makes sense.
This is a Twitter-sin. Hashtags are absolutely great for connecting with a certain subject, but posts that have more than two hashtags tend to do worse than posts that adhere to the two-hashtag limit

Twitter is a must for business catering to any group of people. It is the equivalent of an internet spokesperson. Do it right, and customers will line up. Do it wrong, and you’ll find that an entire digital marketing strategy can be ruined in under 140 characters.
