The Twitter community is a helpful one which you can contribute to. If your tweets are solely sales and marketing broadcast messages, you are unlikely to get noticed. You need to engage with other users on Twitter and tailor your tweets and responses to other people’s tweets. You need to think about your audience on Twitter. What content will be useful and interesting to them that I can share? What useful knowledge/insights can I offer on this subject that may help someone?

By making helpful and useful contributions to questions or discussions users are having, it is more likely that you will be valued and remembered when they come across someone who needs your help.
