A great percentage of people joined twitter because of its popularity alone. To some of us on the other hand, the urge to get a few followers who could give us some twitter likes and retweet our posts was all we wished for. As research shows however, most people wish they knew the power twitter has to influence others while they were newbies. In addition, imagine if you had the knowledge of how to attract thousands of followers and engage with them five years ago. You would probably be making thousands of dollars off your account.

On the other hand, most people often mistake twitter for Facebook or snapchat, where you can share a lot of personal staff and get many likes. On twitter however is all about self-branding. It is a place people work to be a unique brand that people will wish to associate themselves with. For newbies therefore, don’t open twitter account with the sole wish to get many twitter likes and retweets, but to engage and be an authority in what you love.
