I'm on Twitter. My handle is @MelanieDSnitker
I'm new to Twitter and I seriously get very overwhelmed with it. Mostly when to use hashtags, how, etc. So I'm reading and learning but definitely still a novice!
Hashtags help to get your tweet seen by lots of people, in theory. But it'll depend on the hashtag used. If your tweet is about what you're writing for instance, use #amwriting which other writers search for. It'll get noticed then. Same with other tags like #amedting.
Something else that no one told me, but found out on my own. If you reply to a tweet and it has an @ at the start of the tweet, then only those who follow you and the person you're @ing will see it. So if you want all your followers to see it, then put something else in front of the @ like a full stop.
@JedCullan You're Awesome (will only be seen by your followers who follow me)
.@JedCullan You're Awesome (will be seen by all your followers even if they don't follow me)
But why they wouldn't follow me, I have no idea. As I am awesome.
