Here are 25 tips to help enhance your Twitter presence:
- Find people’s questions in your business sector and answer them

- Don’t just follow random people, retweet and favourite
- If you put yourself out there as a professional, you have to answer all messages you receive
- Reply to everything except spam if you run your company’s Twitter account
- Disconnect all Twitter accounts on your mobile when going to a party with alcohol!
- If you are out of ideas of what to share, look at your competitors
- Look at your profile and ask yourself if you would read and follow it
- Leave some characters spaces on your tweet in case you are retweeted
- Mention your Twitter handle to people whenever you can – e.g. @HarveyandHugo
- Consider sending a thank you for every share and mention
- Watch carefully for autocorrect
- Don’t overuse #hashtags
- Check #hashtags for popularity before tweeting
- Participate in your industry’s Twitter chats
- Check your facts and quotes before posting them
- Twitter is visual so post relevant pictures and photos
- Ask people about themselves and retweet answers
- Subscribe to Twitter’s official blog to stay current and alert @Twitter
- Join conversations and make sure it doesn’t look like you did it for promotional goals only
- Twitter is social not promotional!
- Tweet content that your audience will find relevant
- Use abbreviations to keep it short and save some space
- Your account shouldn’t look like a fake, enter your location and link it to your website
- Don’t tweet about over shared news
Or if it is too much to think about, let Harvey & Hugo take the strain, tweet us @HarveyandHugo
