be “friends” with everyone to have your say
communicated to them.

audience in an instance and jump in any trending
conversations that are being carried out about
any event happening anywhere in the world

6. FOLLOW & GET
FOLLOWED
After you’ve done a couple of tweets and are
comfortable with the twitter environment, it’s
now time to follow other folks.

10. SHARING
Tweet links to articles, interesting blog posts and

There are a myriad of paid and unpaid auto follow,
un-follow, auto dm tools available.
Your twitter account is your personality and you

personally without those pushy sales tweets.
