Twitter was launched in 2006 and despite being considered by several big companies as one of the top social media networks, many companies still do not understand how they can successfully monetize it. Some understand that it’s important to have a Twitter profile, and to generate engagement from your followers, but most do not have a successful strategy to achieve that goal. It all starts with community building on Twitter.
This may seem obvious, but many treat Twitter as a place to just promote their own agenda rather than focusing on community building on Twitter. It is important to remember that your customers do not care about your schedule. Instead, focus on delivering content that will engage, content that your specific audience wants. Use pictures with motivational phrases, people love it, and the chance to share is too big. It’s important to note that this type of content cannot generate direct sales, but it can help create a community that you like and trust. This, consequently, can increase sales for your business.

But now, it’s really not a choice but to be on the photo-sharing app.
