#exhausted #missinghome”

obvious that Workout is
probably a new habit that
you have adopted and you
want to show it off!

properly. Do not stuff
obvious words as Hashtags.

4. • Do not act desperate. Do
not beg for followers
• Your tweets will get you
followers.

use apt hashtags and
people will automatically
follow you back for the
quality you share!
“Hey Guys here is a pic of
my new art… Did you love
it? #FollowBack”
Example:

5. “RT if you think I
have a lovely DP..
plzzzzz”

for Retweets is so
wannabe!

wannabes.

stalking?
• Check-in smartly. Make sure
your check-ins are interactive
enough for the people in the
friend’s list to engage with.
• Prefer not to share blank
check-ins on Twitter. Manage
your Foursquare account
accordingly.
“I’m at ________
4sq.com/S3a24j”
Example:

7. • Automated tweets can be
irritating enough.
• Thanking might be a good
practice but tagging through

sense idea.

@i_alexandrar is now
following you.”
