  1. Thanks for the tips here! I have been working on social media marketing for just over a month and have joined Twitter – which seems to be the best social media method for me. I am also on LinkedIn which is quite good to build relationships with other business people. I also haven’t been replying to followers as much as I probably should have – I will make more effort to do this in the future.
    I find that Tweeting at certain times in the day makes more difference too – I usually Tweet 3 times. Once in the morning first thing, then at lunch time and then around 5pm.
    When I first joined I read a really good article our CTO wrote on Twitter, which was also really useful.
