✍️ Each social media platform has its own language. 

✍️ Pick two platforms at first and be active on them.

✍️ Follow Social Media Influencers and emulate what they do.

I avoided Twitter for years. It felt like a waste of time. Confining a writer to 240 characters is just plain cruel!

When he explained how Twitter is a teaser for more information like a trailer is for a movie, the light bulb finally went off on how Twitter can be useful. 

Keith Keller is known as one of the top Twitter influencers on multiple lists. He spends time in his "lab" conducting Twitter experiments and has Cracked the Twitter Code for writers.
