With 330 million active monthly users, Twitter is a staple of digital marketing.

Though it’s essential to cultivate a Twitter following, you also have to implement actionable steps to increase engagement and brand awareness.

Here are elements of a successful Twitter marketing plan:

Most of what you write should be in response to other comments. As you respond, include their Twitter handle to @mention them, so it doesn’t get missed.
